For millennia, contact between societies was limited to trade or
wars, a situation that changed profoundly with the development of
global markets serving industrialization. The outcome was the
emergence of one global human civilization, and one common future
that will depend on the capacity of individuals and societies to
manage the potentials for social development. This edited
collection is dedicated to the discussion of four global trends:
upgrading the rationality of organizations, individualization, the
spreading of instrumental activism and universalization of
value-normative systems. The mutual influence of these interrelated
trends brings about both constructive and destructive effects in
social life, social integration and change. Contributors examine
questions such as: How do global trends pave their way in regions?
What are the similarities and differences of regional development?
How do agencies cope with the challenges of global trends in
regional development?
