Autor M. Rabie
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 oct 2013
Society today faces multi-dimensional challenges that are hard to define and even harder to deal with. Social and economic systems throughout the world are becoming more complex and interdependent, and globalization is moving beyond the sphere of economics to engulf other aspects of life, particularly culture and security. Our current theories, strategies, and road maps are fast becoming out-dated and no new ones have emerged to take their place.Mohamed Rabie re-examines the relevance of major ideas and systems of the recent past, including ideology and its relation to society in Global Economic and Cultural Transformation. This book is an attempt defines and explains this transitional period and provides a new conception of economic and societal world history, which us understand how we got here and where we are going.

Recenzii

"Rabie examines the factors behind the waning of long-established drivers and patterns of socio-historical change, rendered increasingly inadequate by the unipolarization of the world-system and the totalizing pressures of global capitalism. He dissects keenly their combined homogenizing impact on modern political, socioeconomic, cultural, and ideological markers, and suggests in the process novel paradigms for comprehending historical transformations in the age of knowledge-based economies. The result is a highly engaging and erudite analysis of the contemporary condition of Arab and Western societies." - Osama Abi-Mershed, Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, Georgetown University, USA
"This critical view of history is a most promising intellectual event and an important step toward a better understanding of where we are in our present unresolved debate." - Manfred Stinnes, Lecturer, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany
