This volume locates social psychology in the context of contemporary societies in an increasingly globalizing world where time, space, and relationships are reshaped by powerful information, communication, and travel technologies.
The volume revisits the efforts thus far while commenting upon the treatment of pertinent issues in the emerging sociopolitical and academic climate of the globalized area. It discusses how globalization has led to multidimensional changes in the society, warranting newer ways of comprehending, conceptualizing, and navigating through the complexities of the emerging social world. While mapping the new changes shaping contemporary discourse, the book refers to the new emerging patterns of human relationships, which are acquiring different shapes and meanings, leading not just to restructuring but also to creating innovative ways of being and making sense of the world.
The volume would be useful to students and teachers of psychology, applied psychology, sociology, social work, public health, gender, and women studies. It would also be an invaluable companion to pediatrics, forensic medicine, psychiatry, and law enforcement authorities like police and judiciary.
