Opis

In Different Paths to Modernity, a team of scholars investigates both economic and technological modes as well as mental and social aspects of the modernization process in two European peripheries-Sweden and Spain. The transformation of societies is influenced by inherent tensions between differentiation and integration, and this process gradually creates new, significant changes for the individual. Seven different dimensions of modernization are examined: agriculture, education, industrialization, urbanization, capital provision, demography and the social aspects of gender. The book is a synthesis of major and complicated historical developments.
