Beschreibung
This volume contributes to Roland Robertson’s (1938-2022) thinking on the impact of civilizational traditions on contemporary global relations. It also includes chapters by Robertsonian scholars on the social implications of intercivilizational encounters. Through theoretical discussions and ethnographic documentation, the volume highlights the importance of human needs and aspirations at the center of civilizational analyses. It offers an original methodology to formulate intercivilizational principles of moral order and a related intercivilizational imaginary. Readers will find in this volume a much-needed strategy to transform contemporary civilizational conflicts and manipulations into intercivilizational undertakings in reciprocal understanding, learning, and cooperation. This volume includes contributions from noted globalization scholars and is a must-read for those interested in macro-perspectives on globalization and global processes.
