The aim of the course is to grasp the meaning of the great processes of transformation occurred in the Western world between the Second Industrial Revolution and the end of the Cold War. Both the features of these processes and their consequences within and outside the Euro-American region are considered, stressing in particular the emergence of a mass society and a global world. A discussion of the main trends in contemporary historiography is included.
