Discussion on globalization have roots in 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.
