Globalisation as a process has been effecting human civilisations since the beginning of documented history. This publication emphasises that for globalisation to benefit humanity, the three major cultures of the world (Eastern cultures, Arab-Islamic cultures, and Western cultures), along with others, have to unite and uphold the world together.

" The authors also provide the basis for careful analysis and conceptualisation through the use of an innovative globalisation matrix designed to predict patterns and policy as states handle the effects of this process as well as matrices for security and stability. This book provides an evolutionary and encyclopaedic reference to this vital concept and should provide a cornerstone for any further study when assessing the impact of globalisation on our historical, modern, and future world.
