A decade can't be seminal. I don't know what you are trying to say about the connection between the opening decades and the fiction. Do not use "the" in "dystopian fiction." "Around the world" is standard.

To emerge from a crisis is to come through it intact. I think you mean something more like "inspired by" or "arising in" or "born of". You seem to be using variations on "around the world" a lot. Put that in the chapter title instead. I might make that "Born of the same global crisis, the dystopian fiction of the world shares some common tropes, themes, and concerns."
