ABSTRACT
As the core category, globality embodies the essence of global studies as well as the pursuit of common values of all categories herein. Therefore, to view globality in its proper perspective is fundamental to global studies research and education. As the core of globalization theory, globality embodies the phenomena and essence of globalization, differing from the modern society that has dominated the values and ways of life of humanity for centuries. To view globality in perspective demands first examining the relations between globality and modernity, as the emerging characteristics and qualities of globalization are highlighted in comparison to those of modern society. The globalization after the 1970s holds more attention due to its distinguishing scale, impact, and level of institution. Whereas globality involves transcending the nation-state to restructure the democratic system, citizenship, new values, and concepts hence the emerging noteworthy issues such as global politics, global democracy, global ethics, global value, and global citizenship.
