We posit the world is at a critical junction in terms of the newly emerging superpowers; China as the main contender. The article concludes we need more than a simple finetuning of the existing theories, rules, systems and structures - a fundamental ontological shift is called for. Scholars focusing on international issues related to myriad types of socio-economic and political phenomena should become more reflective and return to the fold of the social sciences, paying greater attention to ontology. It is only by doing this that, we as academics, will be able to ask the "big questions" and help solve the "grand challenges" of the present and futureČlanek obravnava bistvena vprašanja in spremembe v svetovnem gospodarstvu (tektonske spremembe, premik gibala razvoja v Azijo, globalizacijo in deglobalizacijo, tehnološke spremembe, okoljske izzive, staranje prebivalstva, migracije in kancerogene neenakosti) ter ustrezen sistem globalnega upravljanja. Ugotavljamo, da se svet nahaja na križišču, ko porajajoča gospodarstva postajajo supersile - na čelu s Kitajsko kot glavnim izzivalcem. Članek prikazuje, da vse to zahteva več kot samo preprosto prilagoditev obstoječih teorij, pravil, sistemov in struktur. Mednarodno usmerjeni raziskovalci morajo postati bolj refleksivni in se vrniti h koreninam družboslovnih znanosti, če si želijo povrniti svoj ugled in biti sposobni zastavljali "velika vprašanja" ter pomagati reševati "velike izzive" sedanjosti in prihodnosti v vse bolj nepredvidljivem in ranljivem svetuTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za družbene vede
