In 14 previously unpublished essays, British sociologist Martin Albrow elaborates on his Global Age thesis, first introduced in the 1990s, to highlight the distinctiveness of our current era. Drawing from the insights of Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, Arnold Toynbee, and Norbert Elias, he engages in a global discourse that seeks new approaches to enduring human dilemmas related to faith, justice, and responsibility. While he does not subscribe to the inevitability of globalization and Americanization, Albrow argues that conceptualizing our time as shaped by globalization necessitates a collective response to the challenges humanity faces today. He posits that the hope for a viable human future relies on establishing a normative order within global society, advocating for a form of global governance that enables diverse local, national, and global cultures to coexist and flourish.
