Globalisation and Cultural Transformations Among the Youth

Does globalization reshape the lives of young people? This question drives Globalisation and Cultural Transformations Among the Youth, a collection of research from a mix of emerging and established Bangladeshi scholars. The book's chapters focus on students from both public and private higher education institutions, examining how they navigate a changing world. Three main themes emerge from the findings: the state of higher education and pedagogy, the influence of social media, and the aspirations and perceptions of youth. The research highlights the many dimensions of globalization's impact on this generation. A notable strength of the volume is how the authors and editors ground their analysis in the lived, felt experiences of young people, connecting their local realities to broader global shifts. Ultimately, the book's main contribution is its theory-driven yet policy-relevant examination of the link between a rapidly globalizing system and the cultural practices of youth in a national context.
