Globalization: A Research Guide to Resources in the Princeton University Library
The Slavic world has shifted and changed in profound ways through various manifestations of globalization since at least the time of the Czar called Peter the Great. At the turn of the eighteenth century, his reign is often termed the beginning of the modern time in Russia. Today Russan and other Slavic and East European countries continue to engage in full-country experiments with various economic, political and social systems, often within a global framework, and offering a key perspective on globalization in the broader context. Please note that a remarkable amount of English language materials is found through the following indexes. 1. American Bibliography of Slavic and East European Studies, subscription database.
