This atlas presents a comparative analysis of the distribution of human potential worldwideamidst increasing differentiation among countries and regions. It includes cartograms reflecting information on 105 indicators across various areas such as geography, demography, economics, finance, politics, equality, education and science, health, culture, mobility and environment. The underlying research allows to identify key trends in the distribution of human potential among countries, as well as the significance of the «neighborhood effect» in spatial differentiation of human development. For this purpose, methods of spatial econometrics and geo-information modelling are employed, using the QGIS and GeoDA geoprocessing packages and the R programming language. The book provides a systematic view of the uneven socio-economic and political development and reveals both the specifics of countries and regions of the world and common patterns among them. For a wide range of specialists in social geography, social sciences, and humanities, as well as experts, analysts, and researchers interested in spatial patterns of human development.
