INTRODUCTION Since ancient times the mutual pervasion of cultures and economics of different nations was creating new opportunities for further development. “The Great Silk Way” just like the cultural pathway between East and West emerged in the 3rd century B.C. and existed till the 16th century. It appeared to be one of the greatest achievements of world civilization. The separated caravan routes that crossed Europe and Asia through Mediterranean Sea to China served as an important cul- tural communication tool for many nations. Without a slightest exaggeration it was the first significant globalization wave. Nevertheless, it was later interrupted by durable and cruel wars of 17-18 centuries. The second wave of globalization started in 1880s and was periodically in- terrupted by the First, Second and Cold wars. It is observed as a coherent interre- lation of art prosperity of “Silver Age” and all other economic and social events of that time (trade, science, philosophy, religion and politics). Rapid development of railways and sea transport culturally and economically united the exchange of countries among five continents. The set of the 20th century and the rise of the 21st could be named as the third wave of globalization. This wave has been abruptly accumulating since the 80s till the end of year 2008 and has brought new opportunities, unseen before. A. Zgurovsky ISSN 1681–6048 System Research & Information Technologies, 2009, № 2 122 Still, at the same time, a set of new global challenges has emerged, that may slow down or even temporarily interrupt the third wave of globalization. Such challenges are: devaluation of fundamental human values; increase of inequality among people and states, a great number of regional conflicts, corruption, terror- ism, global illnesses; rapid decrease in fossil fuels resources; natural biological imbalance; greenhouse effect, etc. The range of these problems, first of all, cynically for humanity, stimulated the 2008 global financial collapse that will lead to economic stagnation and de- cline of social standards of most countries. It seems that such negative tendencies will be a long-drawn-out. They’ll cause fundamental economic transformations, global redistribution of property and further reformation of relations throughout the world including emergence of new centers of power. Most importantly, these changes will become a catalyst of reinterpretation of human values that should become dominant at least in the first half of the 21st century. Thereby, globalization is a variable interrupting phenomenon. Hence, the regularity of change and accumulation of global phenomena should be studied, analyzed for interrelations and forecasted in the frame of human life safety in long and short term. In this research, we attempt to analyze the dependence between general phe- nomena like globalization, disposition of its change and most important dimen- sions of social development and global security, such as state and political stabil- ity, global and regional security, democracy level, and crime control, inequality among people and states, corruption perception, state’s peace level and potential for terrorist acts. The analysis of globalization’s phenomenon in the perspective of abovementioned indicators is called Methods of Social Development and Global Security (SDS). QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF EFFECT OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND GLOBAL SECURITY GENERAL INDICATORS ON GLOBALIZATION Further, we will use known global indices used by reputable international organi- zations to study quantitative dependence between globalization and general indi- cators of social development and global security: For quantitative measuring of globalization we’ll use KOF index [1, 2] that generalizes and averages economic, social and political data used to calculate the general KOF globalization index. In their turn, economical, social and political indicators are determined by official statistics data for each country that are annu- ally standardized and put to a common calculating base, coming out as KOF In- dex of globalization for 122 countries. The general indicators of social development and global security determined by SDS are as follows: 1. Index of State Fragility )( sfI describes the level of state fragility from domestic and foreign threats and is calculated with the help of 12 indicators, that reflect the security level, political, economic and social stability, state’s law le- gitimacy, conflicts the state participates in etc. This index was calculated in Global Report on Conflicts, Governance and State Fragility [3]. Research of globalization’s interrupted character in context of social development … Системні дослідження та інформаційні технології, 2009, № 2 123 2. Democracy index )( dI empirically calculates the average of 5 general categories: elections and pluralism, civil freedom level, government functioning, political participation and standards. This index is annually calculated by the Economist Intelligence Unit for 167 states. 3. Global Peace Index )( gpI was firstly computed by Economist Intelli- gence Unit in 2008 for 140 states. The index is calculated using 24 quantitative and qualitative indicators of domestic and foreign factors – from military expendi- tures to relations with neighboring states. Corruption Perception Index and poten- tial for terrorist acts are the components of Global Peace Index [5]. 4. Gini Index )( gI is calculated for 177 countries and issued by UN Human Development Report. The main objective of this index is to demonstrate the ine- quality between poorest and richest layers of population [6]. 5. GDP per capita (PPP)[7]. 6. Sustainable Development Index )( sdI is estimated within three dimen- sions – economic )( ecI , environmental )( eI and social )( sI . This index is a vec- tor, the norm of which determines sustainable development, while its dimensional location on coordinate grid characterizes the extent of its “harmony” (sustainable development harmony — G ). sdI is annually computed by Ukrainian branch of World Data Center (http://www.wdc.org.ua/) for 113 states [8]. 7. Global Security Index )( gsI is also computed by Ukrainian branch of World Data Center (http://www.wdc.org.ua/) for 113 states [8]. It determines the state’s remoteness from an aggregate of global threats. These are the ten threats that compose Global Security Index: global reduction of energy security; biologi- cal imbalance between Earth’s natural capacities and human needs, change in demographical structure; increase of inequality between people and states; global disease diffusion; child mortality; increase of corruption levels; lack of access to drinking water; global warming; state instability (calculated by State Fragility Index); global climate change and natural disasters. 8. Corruption Perception Index )( cpI is annually calculated by Transpar- ency International [9] for 180 countries. It is scaled from 0 to 10, where 0 is maximum and 10 is minimal corruption level respectively. 9. Potential for Terrorist Acts Index )( taI is also provided in Human De- velopment Report and its objective is to demonstrate the risk of potential terrorist acts in a specific country [6]. 10. Crime Control Index )( ccI is for the first time introduced by the author and calculated according to the following formula: 12=ccI — pN{ — jailed population per 100,000 – ( number of homicides per 100,000 + number of casual- ties caused by organized conflicts per 100,000)}. Hence, we compute a correla- tion of all committed crimes against jailed population. It is evident that KOF globalization index and its economic, social and po- litical dimensions depend on the provided ten indicators of social development and global security (SDS) and their social, economic, and political stabilization aspects. The goal of further research is to conduct qualitative and quantitative A. Zgurovsky ISSN 1681–6048 System Research & Information Technologies, 2009, № 2 124 analyses of dependence on each of the ten indicators of SDS methods. Further- more, we divide our research into two stages of world social development: 1. For pre-crisis period (up to the second half of 2008). 2. For crisis period (after August-September 2008). We will carry out the research by establishing qualitative interrelations among various indicators and KOF globalization index, bringing them to the same calculation platform and substantiating an integral model of social development and global security. At that, we will take into account that all provided indicators and indices have been issued by different international organizations independently from one another. Consequently, they are measured using different physical quantities, have different interpretations and vary on different scales. Therefore, they should to be normalized to vary on the scale from 0 to 1. In this case the lowest value of the abovementioned indicators will be close to 0, and the highest close to 1. This normalization will allow analyzing interrelations among different indices and in- dicators of an integral model of social development and global security on a sin- gle calculation platform. In carrying out the abovementioned normalization applied to each of the in- dicators, we use the following formula ]1,0[1 minmax min0 ⇒ − − −= II III , (1) where 0I is a normalized value of the indicator; minmax , II are maximal and minimal values of indicator deviations respectively. Normalized data grouped by social, economic and political stability dimen- sions are provided in table 1. T a b l e 1 .

Zgurovsky ISSN 1681–6048 System Research & Information Technologies, 2009, № 2 128 THE RESEARCH OF GLOBALIZATION DEPENDENCE ON THE FACTORS OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND GLOBAL SECURITY OF WORLD COUNTRIES Analysis of globalization during the pre-crisis period (early 1980s – first half of 2008) While analyzing Table 2 for the pre-crisis period, it is evident that the first twenty socially globalized states are: Denmark, Slovenia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Singapore, Canada, the Netherlands, Austria, Japan, New Zealand, Iceland, United Kingdom, Switzerland, United States, Germany, Australia, France, Lux- embourg, Ireland, and Estonia. Ukraine and Russia are 46th and 59th respectively. The first twenty politically globalized states are: Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Malta, Ireland, Switzerland, Japan, Denmark, Finland, Canada, Slovenia, New Zealand, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, Uruguay, Costa-Rica, Germany, Hungary and Cyprus. Ukraine, United States and Russia are 48th, 56th, and 87th respectively. The first twenty states by economic globalization (GDP per capita (PPP)) are: Luxembourg, United States, Norway, Ireland, Iceland, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria, Canada, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Australia, Japan, France, Singapore, Germany, Italy and Spain. Russia and Ukraine are on the 51st and 69th places respectively. Finally, 14 states top the rankings of three indicators simultaneously: Den- mark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Canada, Netherlands, Austria, Japan, Iceland, Switzerland, United States, Germany, Luxembourg, and Ireland respectively. Ten of them are among twenty most globalized countries by KOF index (Table 2). The exceptions from this list are Japan, Iceland, United States, and Luxembourg. The abovementioned ten top countries (according to both systems) are characterized by very significant levels of global peace, democracy index, global security, crime control, at the same time by low levels of corruption and inequal- ity among population. This group is mainly composed of non-members of G8, except for Germany and Canada. Such states could be described by shabby economies and absence of attempts on imposing their will on other states world- wide. Interestingly, according to KOF globalization index the United States (22nd place) and Japan (51st place) demonstrate very strong positions in political global- ization, meanwhile, being behind twentieth places in economic and social global- ization. Luxembourg (27th place according to KOF), on the other hand, while be- ing the first in economic globalization, is mediocre in terms of social and very low in terms of political globalization. Thus, the 22nd place of the United States according to KOF rating is fully substantiated. This country indicates substan- tially low values of peace (0.492) and global security (0.546) indices, high poten- tial for terrorist acts (0.435) and significant level of population inequality (0.688). At the same time, the 51st place for Japan and the 27th place for Luxembourg according to KOF do not respond to their substantial values of practically all SDS indicators. Research of globalization’s interrupted character in context of social development … Системні дослідження та інформаційні технології, 2009, № 2 129 A significant group of rapidly progressing states is composed of the so- called BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China). During the pre-crisis period, these countries manifested huge economic growth amounting to 8–12% annually. It happened both due to the increase in innovational and hi-tech constituent of these countries' development and with the help of intensive exploitation of one's own natural and environmental resources, involvement of cheap labor and enormous consumption of organic fuels (oil, gas, and coal). Despite rapid economic growth, these countries are on 33rd through the 81st places by KOF index (Brazil – the 52nd, Russia - the 33rd, India - the 81st, China - the 43rd). This fact is explained by low level of sustainability in their develop- ment. Having taken the way of economic development prioritization, current states haven’t yet managed to provide high environmental and social indicators. For instance, if these countries are analyzed using SDS method, it is evident that they demonstrate high levels of corruption and population inequality; low values of democracy and global security indices. Meanwhile, Russia and India have very low levels of global peace and high potential for terrorist acts. Ten least globalized countries of the world according to KOF are mostly African countries, such as: Madagascar, Congo, Guinea-Bissau, Niger, Haiti, Central African Republic, Rwanda, Myanmar, Burundi and one country of South- eastern Asia - Saudi Arabia (which has been placed into this group by the devel- opers of KOF index in a purely formal way, due to a lack of economic globaliza- tion data). If we analyze these states using SDS method, we will see that, with the exception of Saudi Arabia, which shouldn’t be taken into account during further analysis, these are the poorest world countries where GDP per capita amounts to much less than $ 2,000. These countries indicate the highest levels of corruption, tremendous population inequality, high level of state instability, low levels of peace, democracy, crime control, and global security. These circumstances greatly complicate the integration of abovementioned countries into the world’s economy and culture. In general, while comparing the ten least globalized African states to twenty most globalized states we can assert, that the gap between these two groups con- sistently expanded in both economic welfare (GDP per capita) and practically by all SDS indicators (state instability, democratization, peacefulness, crime control, global safety, corruption, and population inequality levels) during the period of 2007-2008 and the previous years. This disturbing tendency arose from the in- creasing tension throughout the world, spread of global diseases, intensification of regional conflicts, and increase in levels of crime rate, corruption, and terrorism. By analyzing Ukraine alone, we will specify its peculiarities in the context of globalization. The country accounts for powerful human capital s- 46-million highly educated population (according to the UN data, education index in Ukraine amounts to 0.94). Its geographic location and resource potential provide great op- portunities for economic and cultural cooperation both with Russia and the Cen- tral and Western European states. These states are located on the Black and Azov Sea shores, have fertile soils and powerful gas transportation network. In perspec- A. Zgurovsky ISSN 1681–6048 System Research & Information Technologies, 2009, № 2 130 tive of a transit zone, this area is a modern “Silk Way” for energy, cultural and goods exchange between the East and the West. It is strategically important for Ukraine to maintain the stability of this corridor. Its destabilization in the begin- ning of 2009, due to the interruption of gas transit, led to almost 40% drop in Ukrainian economy and multibillion losses for the economies of Russia and Western European states. According to KOF index, during the pre-crisis period Ukraine was on the 42nd place in globalization rating. When analyzing Ukraine using the SDS method, we can witness a tremendous corruption level, low crime control, grow- ing inequality between the poorest and the richest and high state instability, which complicates its further integration into global economy and culture. Analyzing the dependence of globalization on the social development and global security of a particular state in the range of 10 SDS indicators simultane- ously is a complicated task. Therefore, we will apply the method of Principal Compound Analysis (PCA), an important element of RapidMiner system [10], for more convenient and demonstrative analysis. This method allows reducing vari- ables with multiple properties to several implicit factors determining these proper- ties. Therefore, the dependence of state’s globalization level on the noted indica- tors can be simplified and presented by several most essential indicators instead of ten. Fig. 1 provides the values of dependence of KOF globalization index on ten indicators in PCA plane where the extension of these ten indicators has been pro- jected. In other words, PCA plane is the least distant plane from the whole group of indicator values among in the ten-dimension area of these indicators. The provided PCA analysis (fig. 1) demonstrates the indicators that in the most essential way influence the level of globalization are the index of state sus- tainability and the potential for terrorist acts. It is evident that Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Japan, Austria, Canada and other countries are located close to each other in the right half-plane of PCA intersection and are the most globalized countries according to SDS method. On the other hand, Zimbabwe, Guatemala, Pakistan, Venezuela, Cameroon, Kenia and others are located in the lower left quarter of PCA intersection and are respectively the least globalized states according to both KOF and SDS methods. CONCLUSIONS 1. A new method is introduced to estimate the level of globalization for world countries in the scope of main social development and global security indi- cators, referred to as SDS method. 2. Using the well-known KOF method and the newly proposed SDS method, we have conducted a comparative analysis of globalization level for various world countries relying on the most important indicators of their social development and security, such as state and political stability, global and regional security, democracy level, crime control, inequality among people and states, corruption level, state’s peace level and the potential for terrorist acts on their territories.

Using the Principal Compound Analysis, variables with multiple proper- ties have been reduced to several implicit factors, which define these properties in the most significant way. These properties are the index of state instability and the potential for terrorist acts. This method allows presenting a simplified way to de- termine the dependence globalization level of any state not on two most essential SDS indicators, instead of all ten. REFERENCES 1. Dreher, Axel.

In given research we introduce the new valuating method of globalization in scope of basic social development and global security indicators, further named as SDS. By implementing the well-known KOF and newly introduced SDS methods the comparative analysis of globalization level among different states is carried out. With the help of Principal Compound Analysis there is a reduction in the number of variables that determine characteristics of globalization to particular factors and their simplified representation of dependence on globalization level.
Запропоновано методику оцінки рівня глобалізації країн світу в просторі головних вимірів (індикаторів) їх соціального розвитку та безпеки, названу методикою МСРБ. Із використанням відомої методики КОF та запропонованої МСРБ проведено порівняльний аналіз рівня глобалізації різних країн світу. За допомогою методу Principal Compound Analysis виконано редукцію кількості змінних, які визначають властивості глобалізації щодо деяких характерних чинників, та здійснено спрощене представлення залежності рівня глобалізації від виявлених найсуттєвіших чинників.
Предложена методика оценки уровня глобализации стран мира в пространстве главных измерений (индикаторов) их социального развития и безопасности, назван ная методикой МСРБ. С использованием известной методики КОF и предложенной МСРБ проведен сравнительный анализ уровня глобализации разных стран мира. С помощью метода Principal Compound Analysis произведена редукция количества переменных, которые определяют свойства глобализации по отношению к некоторым характерным факторам, и осуществлено упрощенное представление зависимости уровня глобализации от выявленных самых существенных факторов.
