Globalization – Partnerships Modernization, and Future Perspectives

By Joseph A. Mancini

This book highlights several topics relating to globalization, including modernization and education in Muslim countries. Muslim societies have strong traditional cultures that are often backward looking rather than towards the future, although gradually adopting new ideas there is a risk through modernization that they will lose part of their culture and heritage. The book also covers how globalization has resulted in the USA gaining economic dominance post WWII.
