Muchas veces invocada, pero escasamente comprendida, la globalizacion es aplaudida como respuesta a todos los problemas del mundo a la vez que se la culpa de ellos, desde la contaminacion hasta la pobreza. En Globalizaciones multiples, Peter L. Berger y Samuel P. Huntington reunen a un elenco de expertos de todo el mundo que dibuja un retrato sutil y lleno de matices mostrando a un tiempo el poder y las consecuencias inesperadas de esta gran fuerza del mundo contemporaneo.En este libro los estereotipos que identifican la globalizacion con el imperialismo estadounidense, por un lado o con una especie de panacea economica por el otro acaban desmoronandose ante el examen riguroso de estos analistas. Al observar la globalizacion en paises como Chile, Japon, Sudafrica, Alemania, Turquia, Hungria, Taiwan, India y Estados Unidos los autores dan fe de la existencia de una cultura global incipiente de marcado origen y contenido estadounidense pero que no es ni una fuerza dirigida desde un centro como en el caso del imperialismo clasico, ni una mera "Disneylandia metastatica." Examinan las corrientes que transmiten esta cultura que van desde una clase mundial de jovenes profesionales hasta las organizaciones no gubernamentales y definen tanto las multiples variantes de la globalizacion -las influencias budistas, la modernidad islamica- como las subglobalizaciones que agrupan regiones enteras. Asimismo los autores llaman la atencion sobre fuerzas globalizadoras que han pasado inadvertidas al examen de los medios de comunicacion como por ejemplo el papel del protestantismo evangelico -que se adapta a los idiomas y las culturas locales e introduce valores estadounidenses caracteristicos-y el delOpus Dei el movimiento catolico conservador que tuvo su origen en Espana.Analitico, intens

To date, the nascent consequential notion of ‘multiple modernities’ has been predominately grounded in historical research with the purpose of validating the theory. Yet, the notion of multiple modernities represents a radical transformation in the way modernity and, indeed, the contemporary world is viewed. As such, the central aim of this volume is to explore the implications and hidden understanding of the multiple modernities research project beyond historical analysis in order to investigate its wide ranging omnipresent implications as they exist in communication and in the social order of societal membership in contemporary societies. This volume collects new research about multiple modernities and globalization. It shows the new turn of sociological theory in the contemporary scene with respect to multiple modernities, multi-centrism, transglobality, hybridization and multiculturalism, and explores it as a new area of societal communication – one that takes effect in the sectors of a global society as a ‘society of societies’. The studies in this book converge to demonstrate that the route of Western modernization, its cultural program and its institutional structure, does not follow the pathway of modernization that we have thus far observed in the emerged new area. Rather, the continuation of the multiple modernities research program is given a new design, researching the social structure and dynamic of postmodern societies, their exchange and the debate about the flow of free resources. But the studies are also evidence that the sociological theory has no normative foundation. Contributors are: Mehdi P. Amineh, Barrie Axford, Eliezer Ben-Rafael, Shmuel N.

Contemporary theories of modernity recognize the plurality or »multiplicity± of modernities. Often the differences are seen as institutional or cultural differences. Although this sort of research is important it cannot be ignored that it does not provide a clear understanding of the »human consequences±. The tradition that today is known under the name of Critical Theory, on the contrary, has been interested always first of all in the human consequences. This book wants to follow this ambition. The question it tries to search answers for is: what are the experiences that human beings are making in and within global modernity? Another question is important: what are the affinities and what are the differences. Also Critical Theory was mainly interested in the Western experiences with and within global modernity. The book will challenge this limited view by looking how modernities is experienced in other parts of the world.0Following the tradition of critical theory, the volume enquires into the experiences people make with and in global modernity. It thereby seeks to draw attention to both affinities and differences in these experiences, and to depart from the western horizon of experience and consider other forms of experience. Current theories of modernity are based on the assumption of the diversity of modernity. This diversity is frequently understood to be the outcome of institutional and cultural differences.

This book represents the first discussion from a political science perspective of the concept of Multiple Modernities in three dimensions. First taking stock of the discussions of the concept itself, the book then connects the concept to more recently developed analytical and normative concepts that concretize it, before finally opening up a discussion about its implications and consequences for the political dimension. Written by outstanding scholars in the field, the book addresses four principal concepts – Good Society, Good Governance, Human Security and Varieties of Capitalism. It determines whether and to what degree these concepts enable us to discover the commonalities and differences that distinguish the emerging multiple modernities in our time with respect to their political implications and consequences. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of political theory, political economy, international relations, comparative politics and sociology.

One of the prominent thinkers in the Social Sciences, Aníbal Quijano (1930–2018), has a fundamental work for the compression of contemporary dilemmas since his main theoretical and political concerns have always been linked to the mutations of world capitalism and its reverse paths. This book aims to contribute with analyses of his voluminous and diversified production distributed practically over 60 years of intellectual trajectory. In the first decades, the Peruvian author produced essential works on peasant movements, the urbanization process, and the class structure in Peru and Latin America by mobilizing sociological categories such as marginality, dependency and structural heterogeneity. He devoted himself to investigating imperialist domination in Peru and its implications for social classes and created the journal Sociedad y Política. In the 1990s and 2000s, the Peruvian sociologist published a set of texts on the coloniality and decoloniality of power, which represents a theoretical construction inseparable from the processes and experiences that were occurring in Peru, Latin America and the world, from the “globalization” of “neoliberalism” to global and local resistances. Thus, this book is addressed to all those, with or without specialized training in social sciences, interested in knowing not only the history of social sciences in Latin America but mainly in understanding the historical roots and the political dilemmas of peripheral capitalist societies.

This book analyzes the Americas, North and South, in the global and comparative arena, showing how these societies viewed each other and Europe as they followed the road to multiple forms of modernity and globalization. New insights are revealed on the ways in which reflected conceptions of modernity, with utopian overtones, influenced the ways that politicians and intellectuals viewed their own societies, other societies in the New World, and the older nations of Europe.

This innovative volume provides insight into the vast changes in societies now and in the near future, and highlights the need for a new sociological approach to analyse these changes. It particularly reviews and critiques existing theories of globalization and analyses how global changes affect all subsystems of social membership systems: the scientific, academic, legal and political systems. The authors propose a new theoretical paradigm in sociology to analyse this “next society”. The book studies emergent communication structures between these systems and looks at the concept of membership as a new research area in the study of the next society. In this context, it particularly assesses the problems of further modernization of Chinese society, and the directions of this modernization. This book is of interest to researchers and students of social theory, globalization studies, theory of evolution, and those studying modern Chinese society.
