Global Formation: Structures of the World-Economy

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
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 Chase-Dunn'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 award-winning book. The new edition also evaluates recent major studies of the modern world-system and assesses the implications for the future of the contemporary system. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
