Description
Global Social Change: A World Systems Perspective brings together leading sociologists to explore ways of studying and understanding global social change. This collection of essays offers insights into globalization's gradual growth throughout human social evolution, untangling its contested meanings. The contributors employ historical and comparative social science to examine institutions of global governance, the rise and fall of hegemonic core states, transnational social movements, and global environmental challenges. They compare post-World War II globalization with 19th-century economic integration, analyze the "globalization project" ideology, and discuss issues of gender and global inequalities. By analyzing these topics through a world-systems perspective, this volume provides a comprehensive introduction to understanding global social change.
