Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev has announced his concept for development of civilizations in the 21st century at the 5th Astana Economic Forum. The international society may develop constructively only without revolutions, basing on equality, mutual tolerance, global transparency and multipolarity. Successful modernization of global architecture can only be evolutionary, the president emphasizes, Trend reports.

The Arab Spring shows that revolutions harm economic and social development. Nazarbayev believes that a global control system should be formed with account of developed and developing states. States should be tolerant regardless of geopolitics, influence, historic experience, development of economy and society.

The final principle noted by the Kazakh president is multipolarity. Constructive multipolarity is the only alternative for challenges and threats. It should be a balanced system of checks and balances, without bloc psychology and the negative repercussions of the bipolar world.

The principles would become the basis for the G-Global format proposed by Nazarbayev in late 2011 as an alternative to G8 and G20, Tengrinews reports.

The Kazakh leader noted that support of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are the only measures of the G8 and G20 to save national economies. Each billion of dollars may provoke a billion of social problems.

Nazarbayev notes global unemployment threats, with its level rising, compared with 2011. Italy has an unemployment of 8.5%, UK 8.3%, Germany 6%, France 9.7%. There are over 11 million people unemployed there, about half of them are young. About 1.1 billion people have no work all over the world or earn under $2 daily.

4 years after formation of the G20 gives a feeling that the format is not enough, the president says. The World Economic Forum in Davos had leaders agree that capitalism needs adjustments to its modern form.
