In the last few decades, a new "global revolution in science" has been unfolding, fundamentally different from the already known global scientific revolutions. Noting the ambiguity of the notion of "global", the article deals with the study of global processes and systems, including globalization, global problems, global crises, global evolution, etc. This is reflected in the formation of such areas of scientific search as globalistics, which acquires disciplinary form and actively manifesting interdisciplinary and integrative intentions. A number of interdisciplinary sections of global studies have already appeared as a result of its interaction with a particular scientific discipline. More and more traditional scientific disciplines are becoming global in the course of the globalization of science. Already visible are the outlines of a multi- and interdisciplinary cluster of modern science that studies the patterns of global processes and global development in their interrelations with the development of civilization. This cluster, which can be referred to as global studies, includes globalistics as the "core" of these studies, global disciplines, global evolutionism, globalization studies, and a number of other "global areas" of scientific research. Global studies are included in the ongoing "multi - revolutionary explosion" in modern science, when almost in the same historical period there is not one-the next "global scientific revolution", but a whole complex of cardinal, including general scientific, transformations in science.
