Abstract
As we move forward in an ever-changing world, it is of critical importance that social scientists seek to understand global shifts and the consequent changing nature of the economic, social, cultural and political world. So argues Prof. Olive Shisana, taking notes from the transformative cornerstones of the forthcoming World Social Science Report for 2013, which aims to provide robust answers to social science problems.-
