Let me give you the sentence:

"Global problems cause debates among politicians, scientists and all mankind in common."

BTW, is ''among' appropriate here? or should I use "between"

Answer

You can say either 'all mankind' or 'the whole of mankind'.

And yes, 'among' is fine here, and preferable to 'between'.

I'm not sure that the phrase 'in common' is right here, though. Perhaps you could delete it?

Answer

It would be "all of mankind" or "all mankind".
