Résumé

In recent years numerous social scientists and historians have reached beyond the boundaries imposed by their disciplines and national borders in an effort to comprehend the vast and profound social change which has fundamentally altered human existence in the Twentieth Century. As a result of their multidisciplinary and comparative studies, they have formulated a powerful tool for analysis embodied in the concept of "modernization". While not all of these scholars have used the specific term, modernization, and those that have, have defined it in various ways; still a remarkable consensus has been reached with respect to what constitutes modernity and the process by which it is attained.
