About this book

This major reference work handbook explores the nexus between globalization and social change, neoliberalism and social change, and societal response to social change. The chapters  will primarily focus on these three broad themes and discuss their impact  in different societies across the globe at a variety of levels, from the macro to the local. The principal aim is to examine social change in a constantly changing world with new economic, political and social order. Bringing together a group of experts and researchers at all career stages who are interested in examining the impact of social change in modern society on people's lives and development, the editors appeal to  experts to think beyond accepting change as an inevitable force and reflect on our power in influencing, redirecting and contemplating social change.

It will therefore be an invaluable resource for researchers, students and faculty in social work, Social Welfare, Sociology, Political Science, Economics, Social Policy Study, Public policy, International Relations, Gender Studies, Women's studies, Rural Development, Management, Psychology and other social science disciplines.
