Modern World System: Capitalist Agriculture and the Origins of the European World-economy in the Sixteenth Century v. 1

Academic Press Inc.,U.S.

In World-Systems Analysis, Immanuel Wallerstein provides a concise and accessible introduction to the comprehensive approach that he pioneered thirty years ago to understanding the history and development of the modern world. Since Wallerstein first developed world-systems analysis, it has become a widely utilized methodology within the historical social sciences and a common point of reference in discussions of globalization. Now, for the first time in one volume, Wallerstein offers a succinct summary of world-systems analysis and a clear outline of the modern world-system, describing the structures of knowledge upon which it is based, its mechanisms, and its future.
Wallerstein explains the defining characteristics of world-systems analysis: its emphasis on world-systems rather than nation-states, on the need to consider historical processes as they unfold over long periods of time, and on combining within a single analytical framework bodies of knowledge usually viewed as distinct from one another—such as history, political science, economics, and sociology. He describes the world-system as a social reality comprised of interconnected nations, firms, households, classes, and identity groups of all kinds. He identifies and highlights the significance of the key moments in the evolution of the modern world-system: the development of a capitalist world-economy in the sixteenth-century, the beginning of two centuries of liberal centrism in the French Revolution of 1789, and the undermining of that centrism in the global revolts of 1968. Intended for general readers, students, and experienced practitioners alike, this book presents a complete overview of world-systems analysis by its original architect.

Africa and the Modern World

This collection of essays seeks to view the contemporary African Scene in the light of Africa's role in the capitalist world-economy: its incorporation into it, its peripheralization, its antisystemic movements. It views race and class household and nation not as primordial tradition but as continuous construction and reconstruction of the world systems. This is also a book of analysis of the politics of outside involvement( particularly of U.S. involvement) in Africa, and of the politics of Africa scholar's involvement. The essays themselves are a mode of involvement.

Overcoming the Two Cultures: Science vs. the humanities in the modern world-system (Fernand Braudel Center Series)

This book tells the story of how the very idea of two cultures-the so-called divorce between science and the humanities-was a creation of the modern world-system. The contributors, working from a common research framework, trace the divorce of "facts" and "values" as part of the transition from feudalism to capitalism. This led to a polarization between universalist "science" and the particularist "humanities" and finally to the creation of the social sciences as an uneasy intermediary in this epistemological debate. The book addresses the contemporary attempts to overcome the division between the two cultures that emerge from science, feminism, race and ethnic studies, cultural studies, and ecology, ending with an analysis of the culture wars and the science wars. Contributors: Volkan Aytar, Ay,se Betul Celik, Mauro Di Meglio, Mark Frezzo, Ho-fung Hung, Biray Kolloupglu K3/4rl3/4, Agustin Lao- Montes, Eric Mielants, Boris Stremlin, Sunaryo, Norihisa Yamashita, Deniz Yukeseker.

Enter Economism, Exit Politics: Experts, Economic Policy and the Political

Teivo Teivainen explores the redefinition of the boundaries of the economic and the political spheres. In examining how and to what extent it is taking place, he takes the case of the periodic Latin American debt crisis in the 20th Century, and more specifically, the illuminating example of Peru, particularly the failed attempt by President García to resist this new economism and the subsequent volte-face by his successor, President Fujimori.
