Features: "Economic Globalization and the Diversified Development of National Cultures" is an anthology of essays. Scholars from China and countries such as the United States, Germany, Japan, Australia, the Netherlands, and Austria discuss the relationship between traditional Chinese culture and economic globalization. The scholars unanimously agree that traditional Chinese culture is not a panacea for modern civilization's ills, but it can provide rich cultural resources beneficial to economic globalization. Some essays also explore the impact of economic globalization on China's ethnic minorities, particularly the ethnic cultures of Yunnan. The essays contain many insightful observations, some of which are even truly brilliant and worth reading.
