| Description: |
Immanuel Wallerstein (who provided the foreword to these volumes) is probably the most prominent advocate of world-systems theory, but as this collection of 32 articles demonstrates, there are a number of advocates of this perspective within the American Sociological Association. Presented by Dunawa |
| Synopsis: |
As one-half of the latest edition of Immanuel Wallerstein's Political Economy of the World System series, this collection offers cutting-edge theoretical directions to explain the structural crises of the 21st century world system. Contributors argue that the capitalist world system has reached a critical bifurcation point, a short period which will be characterized by a sudden shift in the long-term structural forces that have created and sustained the world as we know it. Writers challenge conventional thinking about the most significant structural crises that face the 21st century world system, including terrorism, debt, the growth of megacities as global actors, the emergence of a powerful transnational capitalist class, and the world ecological crisis. |
