This book has examined some of the pressing issues and challenges
related to modernity, modernisation, and globalisation of the 21st
century. The authors of this book are a distinguished group of
social scientists from America's academia, many of whom are
by-cultural and educationally trained both in the East and the
West. The book has used historical and comparative perspectives and
many extant sources of primary data. The authors have addressed
many macro-issues such as modernity and church-state separation,
America's historical role in spreading global modernity, the global
expansion of democracy, the rise of a global middle class, the
advent of global digital connectivity, and the recent rise of
right-wing political parties in the global political landscape. The
authors also examined many micro-issues such as modernization and
women empowerment in India and Nigeria, the growth of a unique
political culture of Islam and modernism in Sierra Leone, the
problem of transition to emancipative values in the post-socialist
countries of Central and Easter Europe, rise in religious
hostilities in South Asia, need for modernization in dealing with
minority females in America's criminal justice system, and
modernity and the evolution of the rights of the disabled in
America. The empirical and country studies largely support the
theme of the book that modernity is a cultural and civilisational
model. The global modernity has been progressing across world
societies for more than two hundred years. It has been particularly
remarkably advancing since the second half of the twentieth
century. The world capitalist economy has become more global, world
democracy has expanded, the global middle class has vastly grown,
women's economic and political empowerments have widened, and
global digital connectivity has increased. These social and
economic transformations are far more fundamental for the future
progress of democracy and global modernity. The further spread of
global modernity is inevitable and irreversible. The present
right-wing ideologies of nativism, localism, nationalism,
fundamentalism, and divisiveness in the global political trajectory
are transient and temporal peculiarities.
