Abstract :Purpose: The purpose of this article is to judge and/or interpret the consequences of some great political and socio-economic changes that have taken place in our world within the last few decades. Methodology: It is asserted if all these changes are put together and examined from a systems approach viewpoint, one can realize that some gigantic trends are taking place in our world, and that these trends have been shaping up a new world order in the 21st century step by step. Findings: Rather than the haphazard progress of the rise of the new world order, the support and contribution of higher education institutions is recommended. Higher education can play an important role in supporting the globalization process in the right direction, and the study will explain what it can do for this. Implications: The new world of the 21st century will be a single globe, where pluralistic democracy and competitive market economy are complementing each other, and that all human beings are to be considered as equal and free global citizens of this world. This process is significantly being accelerated by computerized technologies. It is thought that in such a global world order, closer relations can be developed and cooperation will be easier as doctrinal ideologies among countries disappear and countries have much more common political and economic values. Limitations: In the study, there is no analysis was made at the country level to examine existing cultural differences, and the issues were discussed only from a global perspective.
