Depending on their national level of income, development and
modernization, all countries in the world can be generally
categorized as either advanced or developing. Studies on why
advanced countries continue to develop, how they maintain their
level of development, and how developing countries enter into the
advanced club fall into the field of modernization science, which
is an emerging interdisciplinary science.
This monograph, the first English book available on
modernization science, interprets its concepts, methodologies,
general theories, first and second modernization, six
level-specific, six field-specific and three sector-specific
modernizations, modernization policy and evaluation, and the
principles and methods of national development since the 18th
century. It provides clear, systematic, up-to-date information on
this new discipline with more than 173 figures and 265 tables, and
covers 131 countries and 97% of the global population.
A comprehensive outlook on world modernization is presented from
a Chinese perspective.
