History, modern - 21st century 

The Contemporary World explores the practical, engaging, and relevant ways in which global structures and processes operate in our lives. It introduces and primarily discusses globalization to students in an accessible, appealing, and significant way. Discussions on globalization have roots in the different disciplines in the social sciences and in other fields of study. This exciting interdisciplinary orientation is reflected in the selection of various topics presented in this book. Varying definitions and theories are examined in the different chapters, which are enriched through process questions and activities. The transformation of the economic, political, social, and cultural aspects of people's lives is also presented in this book. Through this book, the different competencies, skills, and values are hoped to be achieved by the students. Likewise, teachers and students teaching and taking courses in the social sciences will be able to appreciate the importance of globalization in today’s classroom and ultimately, in society.
