The positive fate of
humanity and each country in the 21st century will be

determined by the
recognition of GPS and its democracy of SPHERONS.

The unprecedented Global
Peace Science (GPS or Peacescience), published at the book some name,
was created in the Global Harmony Association (GHA) for 11 years since its
establishment on February 15, 2005. Of these, 8 were the preparatory years, for
which GHA has published seven previous books, discussed and approved 47
projects of global peace from harmony (Chapter 7.1). Work with GPS as the 48th
project began directly in March 2013. 

In Russian language, this book of 432 pages by 89
coauthors from 30 countries was published in St. Petersburg, Russia, in
January 2015:

http://peacefromharmony.org/docs/Nauka-globalnogo-mira-2015.pdf. 

In English language, this book of 616 pages (almost 200 pages longer Russian one) by 174 coauthors (on 85 more than the
Russian edition) of 34 countries was
published in the early February 2016 in India, Russia and the USA. Its PDF
format was posted in January here: http://peacefromharmony.org/docs/global-peace-science-2016.pdf. 

The book coauthors are people of
different age (from 9 to 90) and professions (from worker to academician), 15
religious confessions and diversity of cultures from 34 countries in all
continents, including 59 coauthors from the USA, 33 – from Russia, 15 – from
India, 6 – from Canada, 5 – from Australia, etc. Only international group
integrating in a harmonious unity the planet cultural diversity could create
Peacescience. 

Among the Peacescience coauthors
are: former Indian President – Abdul
Kalam, the Nobel Peace Laureate from Northern Ireland – Mairead Maguire, intellectual
peacemaking leader of the USA – Noam
Chomsky, pioneer of peace studies from Norway – Johan Galtung, Chancellor of the IASE Pedagogical University of
India – Kanakmal Dugar, sociologist of
Catholic University from Belgium – Francois
Houtart, leader of the women's peace-making organization in Africa – Ayo
Ayoola-Amale of Ghana, researcher
of the Roerich creativity – Julia
Budnikova from Russia, director of the Finance Institute, academician from
Kazakhstan – Uraz Baimuratov, one of
the Indian yoga leaders – Ramesh Kumar
and many other outstanding scientists and peacemakers (6). Initiator, editor in
chief and manager of the project is Leo
Semashko, GHA Founder and President, Russia. 

The contribution of these authors in
GPS for three years composed 309
articles, including Leo Semashko 101
articles (81 solo and 20 coauthorship), Subhash Chandra 17 articles (10 solo and 7 coauthorship), Charles Mercieca 6
articles (5 solo and 1 coauthorship), Johan
Galtung 5 articles, etc. 

The book 309 articles are united into its 13 Chapters, 3
Sections, 2 Parts, Annex and Philosophical Final, which have been a
collective discussion and approval of the GHA members. The most important parts
of this three years discussion in a wide variety of assessments and comments of
Peacescience were posted here: http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&amp;key=598. Diversity of opinions is complemented a variety of more than 600 sources in the book bibliography on 17 pages (580–597). 

The GPS book is published on the GHA 72 members donations gathered in
2014 and amounting $8.677. It isthe first budget of global peace in the history in 2015. Its
comparison with the world military budget this year, nearly $ 2 trillion
(according to unofficial data it is several times more), shows the
militaristic, self-destructive priority of the global ruling elite and its
national governments. Unfortunately, humanity has long reconciled with this
priority and it is not looking to change it that is possible only on the GPS
basis. 

We will not talk about the
shortcomings that Peacescience are full as the first attempt of similar
science. We will emphasize its key
advantages and significance.

1. Uniqueness. Peacescience is incomparable to anything else today.
Mankind today does not have any similar or comparable knowledge of global
peace, alternative to military science that has arisen over two centuries ago
in 1799. GPS is able to overcome this
lag of peace from war and create a fundamental alternative to military science
and militarism in general. Uniqueness of GPS is determined by the discovery
of SPHERONS – deep harmonious social
structure of society in all its historical forms. This unknown up to GPS
creation deep structure is peaceful on its objective nature and the key for
scientific understanding global peace. 

2. SPHERONS’ discovery. GPS is
based on the unprecedented social discovery of universal and harmonious classes
of the population in a whole – SPHERONS employed in four spheres of social
production, which is possible only in peace. ThereforeSPHERONS are fundamental actors not only production but
also global peace at all social levels, starting from the family. SPHERONS
constitute a deep and eternal social structure of society as a whole and all
its parts, without exception, in all its historical forms (Chapters 1 and 2).
The discovery of SPHERONS has a revolutionary cognitive, social and political
(democratic) significance for society. 

This discovery is complemented by the discovery of Socioeconomic Harmony
Paradigm: "D + 3D", which expresses the spiritual/ethical basis
("D" – of Russian “Duh” - spirit) of harmonious development and
adequate to it the development of other three "D" spheres: demography
(Sociosphere), democracy (Orgsphere) and demo-economy (Technoecosphere). The
essence of a Harmony Basic Law in this paradigm is priority elevation of the
spiritual needs for the individuals and society, which is opposed to
disharmonious Law of destructive domination of material needs. (It is
Academician Baymuratov’s Paradigm, 2014, Kazakhstan. See Chapter 8.15).

3. Integral, holistic character and dynamism. Peacescience, thanks
SPHERONS universality, allows to synthesize and preserve in itself the
peacemaking achievements of the past and future evolution (Chapters 3, 4,
etc.). It provides a holistic approach to solving the problems of global peace
at all levels. GPS does not pretend to
finality but it assesses itself as "the initial version", which does not exclude other options
and is ready to enter with them into international scientific Contest (Chapter
8, etc.). It supposes the possibility of another interpretation for deep social
structure. 

4. Value of Peacescience. In any case, regardless of the Peacescience
truth measure of its various theories, it
is an undoubted epistemological achievement and social value as the first in
history precedent of scientific knowledge of global peace in a whole (history
does not know other similar examples). Therefore, following the wise Italian
saying "If it is not true, it is
well conceived," (se non è vero, è ben trovato) about Peacescience can
say that even if it is not right in all parts, it is well conceived and
certainly useful to mankind. Peacescience opens for it the way of search and
upgrading an absolutely necessary for it science and fundamentally new, breakthrough knowledge, enriching it
and saving it from wars, from which it is still (for the 6 thousand years of
history) not has the radical vaccine and spiritual immunity. It is the way of
conscious geopolitics of SPHERONS’ peace
under the Earth Constitution International Law.

The completion of the Peacescience book in GHA is just the beginningof a
new, broader development, dissemination and application of the GPS new paradigm
of thinking in
academic, educational, political, religious and other cultural institutions. 

Resume. Peacescience from harmony defines the THIRD, harmonious and just way of
humanity development in all its four spheres. The third way organically integrates the advantages and softly
(non-violently) overcomes the pathological extremes of the two equally
disharmonious and violent, traditional for the 20th century ways:
socialism and capitalism and their basic ideologies: Marxism and liberalism.
The past and the beginning of the new century showed that without
scientifically conscious and realized social harmony live further in a nightmare of any militaristic form of traditional society, mired in endless wars, terrorism, murders,
crimes, corruption, lies, elitist-totalitarian pseudo democracyof billionaires behind the
screen of elected puppets, drugs,
glaring inequality, and other pathologies on the brink of the world's nuclear
suicide is impossible. GPS offers a way out of their impasse
through science, education, culture and democracy of SPHERONSas the political
center of the federalist Earth
Constitution (Chapter 8.19). Therein
lies the GPS historical significance. 

Top. The
fate of humanity and its key countries in the 21st century with different
cultural, economic and political orientations: Russia, China, India, EU and the
US, will be determined by the recognition of GPS and its democracy of SPHERONS
(spheral democracy) ensuring the dominance of spiritual elevation, social priority
of children, geopolitics of global peace, general and complete disarmament and
economic prosperity for all nations from their harmony as one family on one
planet.
