Abstract

This chapter sets the theoretical and historical context for changes taking place in today’s society. The world today is hardly affected by the economic crisis which calls for a change in the existing economic model. Changes generally do not occur easily but are introduced slowly and only when a critical mass is reached they seem to take deeper roots. Practice as well as sociological research witness new societal developments which stem from value changes. The concepts of “modernity”, “postmodernity”, and “transmodernity” are discussed as historical evolution of society which provides the environment for new developments. Also, development theory and theory of change is analysed backing the arguments of other changes happening in the society.
