Facing an Unequal World: Challenges for Global Sociology
An incredibly sensitive community of academics and professionals such as
the International Sociological Association, aware of the social transformations
taking place in the world, cannot and should not be absent from a debate on
inequality.
The great tradition of multi, inter and transdisciplinary works in which the most
complex problems of the present day world are addressed; its unique condition
of being academically, scientifically, regionally, institutionally and organically
plural make it ideally qualified to face the challenge of contributing to this
international exchange, from which an intellectual and moral force can emerge
in order to achieve drastic changes in the manners, forms of reasoning and
scopes of the decisions to be taken in the world to ensure the preservation of
human life and societies.
