Today, we are living on the threshold of a new global civilisation. As the world is an indivisible whole, its parts are interrelated and interdependent so that what happens to one part ultimately affects the whole. Progress in one part cannot succeed unless it ultimately spells progress for the whole. Humanity, therefore, is undergoing the birth-pangs of a new evolution which would bring about world unity. All the various experiments that are going on today are steps in that direction. Globalisation has been accepted as the future world order. The current trend towards globalisation will create the necessary infrastructure for individuals and nations to interact with each other and mutually benefit from such a process. A globalised world is one in which political, economic, cultural, and social events become more and more multidirectional but yet interconnected, and also one in which they have more impact. This book provides a lucid and thought-provoking overview of globalisation—the latest catchword of the new age. It will prove a veritable mine of information and reference to students, researchers, academics besides a galore of general readers.
