- Abstract
- In the first part of the 21st century, we may experience a shift from globalization – defined as the expansion of modernization and driven by the idea of growth– to “the Global Age” where one of our main challenges will be linked to the common management of a limited planet. By “Global Age”, I understand a social configuration (Elias, 1969) in which life and society are deeply shaped by an increasing reality and consciousness of (1) the interdependence at the scale of humanity and (2) the finitude of the planet.
