The rate of social change has speeded up in the last three decades,
but how do we explain this? This volume ventures what the
generative mechanism is that produces such rapid change and
discusses how this differs from late Modernity. Contributors
examine if an intensification of morphogenesis (positive feedback
that results in a change in social form) and a corresponding
reduction in morphostasis (negative feedback that restores or
reproduces the form of the social order) best captures the process
involved. This volume resists proclaiming a new social formation as
so many books written by empiricists have done by extrapolating
from empirical data. Until we can convincingly demonstrate that a
new generative mechanism is at work, it is premature to argue what
accounts for the global changes that are taking place and where
they will lead. More concisely we seek to answer the question
whether or not current social change can be regarded as social
morphogenesis. Only then, in the next volumes will the same team of
authors be able to remove the question mark.
