A World in Transition

Chapter 10 in Global Economic and Cultural Transformation, 2013, pp 175-194 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A careful look at our world as the second decade of the twenty-first century advances reveals that we are getting closer to completing a historical transformational transition that promises to take us to a higher, more complex civilization. It is a period dominated by five major trends of change: economic integration across state lines; political fragmentation within state lines; sociocultural segmentation within national lines; a fastchanging balance of global economic power; and the creation of virtual communities of individuals across all national, cultural, and political lines.
