Abstract
At the conference, about 20 reports presented by leading Russian africanists, were focused on four major problems. Firstly, they were concentrated on concept features and realization possibilities of the modernization models; secondly, shifts in traditional vs. modern attitude in African societies; thirdly, different aspects of the FDI (foreign direct investments) influence on African economies; finally, transfer and use of the advanced technologies in Africa.Diverse modernization experiences and their unequal results coupled with cyclic changes of the world economy make further changes necessary – in both social and technological spheres.
