Synopsis

In this volume, complementary to Immanuel Wallerstein's "The Modern World-System", the author addresses theoretical questions raised in the analysis of the capitalist world-economy and reviews recent research which bears on these questions. He formulates a structuralist approach, reframing Marx's theory of capitalist accumulation to incorporate the processes of class formation and state building. The author also reviews recent literature about states and capitalism as well as the core/periphery relationship. The book includes a discussion of methodological difficulties encountered in the empirical study of world-system processes. It is an effort to take the world-system perspective beyond historical interpretation to an explicitly structuralist theorization which can be evaluated by comparative research.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The fall of communism, the emergence of _the information age,_ and the expansion of economic globalism are the points of departure for this new edition of ChaseDunn's landmark book. The author shows how these seemingly new developments fit with earlier patterns of global formation and change, extending the influential model that drew wide attention to this awardwinning book. The new edition also evaluates recent major studies of the modern worldsystem and assesses the implications for the future of the contemporary system.
