| Summary |
Using the frameworks of systems theory, modernization, and the world system, "New Age Globalization" presents a composite multilevel, multidirectional picture of globalization informed by eight different but interdependent subsystems unlike most other works in this genre of literature that imply globalization to be nothing more than the global economy. The eight subsystems or dimensions of globalization discussed include global demographic, economic, environmental-ecological, political, conflictive, cultural, scientific-technological, and religious subsystems. The result of these multiple perspectives and data sources should be of interest to a large cross-section of global readership of scholars, business leaders, and policy-makers in an unfolding world order that can make or unmake the lives of millions of people around the world |
