World System Structure: Continuity and Change
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hollist, W. Ladd, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The essays in this volume highlight the <strong>distrong>fferent <strong>viewsstrong> taken <strong>ofstrong> the world economic system. The first two essays are firmly grounded in the world system <strong>ofstrong> Immanuel Wallerstein. Other essays <strong>ofstrong>fer alternative concepts and <strong>distrong>scuss them in the light <strong>ofstrong> contemporary events -- newly industrializing nations and Third World coalitions. In the final section, Hollist and Rosenau reach conflicting conclusions as to where the world system, and the study <strong>ofstrong> it, are proce<strong>distrong>ng. '...the collection captures a wide range <strong>ofstrong> alternative approaches that international relations and world-system scholars might pr<strong>ofstrong>itably be jointly aware <strong>ofstrong>. This heightened awareness surely will stimulate even greater <strong>distrong>alogue, the goal <strong>ofstrong> the e<strong>distrong>tors.' -- Contemporary Sociology, Vol <strong>12strong> No 6, November
