In One World Emerging? Alex Inkeles clarifies the meaning of
convergence in the social organization of modern societies, shows
how it can be measured, and illustrates in detail the manner and
degree of convergence across national boundaries. Inkeles assesses
the extent to which convergence in institutional patterns is
reflected in the emergence of more common attitudes, values, and
daily behaviors in different national populations as individuals
and communities engage with and respond to the standardizing
pressures of national development and global modernization. One
popular image of the probable condition of humanity in the
twenty-first century anticipates a new Armageddon with all the
great civilizations at war with each other. This model neglects a
less dramatic but deeper-seated process of worldwide change in
which national economic and political systems become more alike and
populations worldwide come to adopt similar lifestyles and develop
similar attitudes and values for daily living. Alex Inkeles
penetrating analysis focuses on this process of convergence.
