We now live in a highly interconnected world where even the most remote occurrences could affect us profoundly. To understand this current reality, the sections in this book deal with the impacts of globalizing processes or 'flows' in the Contemporary World, with a special focus on the Philippines and the Global South. The authors of this book represent various disciplines and bring their own unique approaches to understanding the complex contemporary phenomena associated with globalization. Each section comprises of two or more chapters detailing a specific aspect of globalization and includes discussion questions and suggested activities. The book's second section explores the history and impact of regions and regional organizations as actors in global politics and what roles they play in a global arena. Considering the vast cultural and ideational impacts of globalization, the third section dwells on the complexities of media and religion in the 21st century and their relationship to the material forces that co-exist alongside them.
