A constant theme throughout is the immediate impact of Globalism: in economics, government, manners, styles, egalitarianism in political demands, and terrorism as a response to democratic systems. Each in its own way has coalesced to bring discourse on civilization levels back into vogue. Global issues in size, scope, and scenario are herein placed on exhibition once again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the noteworthy contributions are substantial articles by Jason Powell, \u003cem\u003eGlobal Aging; \u003c\/em\u003eTony Leon\u003cem\u003e, Liberal Democracy in Africa; \u003c\/em\u003eYoaz Hendel\u003cem\u003e, Terrorism and Piracy; \u003c\/em\u003eNorman Manea and Paul Hollander, \"Twenty Years After the Fall of the Berlin Wall\"; Aleksander Kwasniewski, \"World Views of the European Union\"; Gregg Rickman, \"The Nazi Religion and the Holocaust\"; and Walter Laqueur, \"Europe's Road to the Mosque\".

Threading a needle between abstracted empiricism that dominates present science policy and speculative metaphysics that offers little else than a great vision of the world, this volume of \u003cem\u003eCulture \u0026amp; Civilization\u003c\/em\u003e on \u003cem\u003eGlobalism\u003c\/em\u003e charts a space for which there is a felt need by large publics, responded to by serious social science specialists capable of addressing such interests in historically meaningful contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224603087192,"sku":"9781412842389","price":61.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781412842389_65e8a572-7520-4f4c-8cd2-a15944d516c5.jpg?v=1779333337","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/culture-and-civilization","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
