Uncertain Worlds - World-systems Analysis in Changing Times

Informationen zum Autor Immanuel Wallerstein, Carlos Antonio Aguirre Rojas, Charles Lemert, George Ciccariello, José A. Mota Lopes Klappentext Uncertain Worlds is the definitive presentation of the evolution of world-systems analysis from the point of view of its founder, Immanuel Wallerstein. Few theorists have offered a more systematic theory of what has become known as 'globalisation' than Wallerstein. The book includes a one-of-kind interview with Wallerstein by Carlos Rojas, a conversation between Wallerstein and Lemert about the history of the field as it has come down to the present time, a long essay by Lemert on the uncertainties of the modern world-system, as well as a preface by Rojas and a concluding essay by Wallerstein. No other book lends such biographical, historical, and personal nuance to the biography of world-systems analysis and, thus, to the history of our times. The will be a key reference book for students of global politics, economics and international relations. Zusammenfassung Definitive survey of world-systems theory, including an in depth interview with Immanuel Wallerstein, its founder.
