Globalization has been defined as a process in which the population
of the world is increasingly bonded into a single society. Although
none of the contributors to this collection denies the thrust
toward convergence that is implicit in globalizing processes, each
contributor also concludes that globalization encourages
differentiation. Integration in the global system is not a passive
process. In different nations, people analyze and interpret what is
happening and respond by developing policies, forming new
institutions and changing existing ones. They adopt broad cultural
models in order to function effectively in the larger system and
they also draw upon their particular traditions, values,
institutions and resources to define a place that will be to their
advantage economically, politically and socio-culturally. As the
studies presented in this book show, integration in the world
system may benefit a given society or may harm it; it may entail
changes to a society's culture, but does not obliterate a society's
distinctive characteristics.
