About the Book

This thought-provoking collection of papers examines the emerging global market economy shaped by finance capital and technological revolution, which has accelerated economic growth but also led to financial crises in countries worldwide. As economic disparities grow and environmental sustainability is increasingly threatened, this book delves into the socio-economic challenges and the socio-political transformations accompanying the globalization process.

The volume brings together innovative methodologies to tackle the new socio-economic issues faced in the era of globalization. Spanning eight thematic sections, the papers are interlinked within an interdisciplinary framework, offering fresh insights into emerging societal issues. The topics discussed range from market dynamics to environmental security, group inequalities, and shifting power relations in politics, gender, and culture.

The contributions are designed to help young researchers understand the new art of conducting research in these fields and provide guidance on methodological innovations. Policymakers will also find the book highly useful, as it addresses pressing issues like inequality in education, environmental threats, and the effects of urbanization and migration.
