Book Description
The historic long term economic interconnections of the world are now universally accepted. This collection of essays represents a reframing of these global economic and political links. In the light of a non-Eurocentric perspective, The World System argues for the interconnectedness of historical patterns over 5,000 rather than 500 years. In doing so, the book undermines the primacy claimed for Europe as the major agent of economic change, an issue with implications far beyond the realm of history. With an important forward by William H. McNeill and contributions by Immanuel Wallerstein and Samir Amin, The World System is now available for the first time in paperback, making sure the arguments are accessible to students of world history, international relations and a variety of related disciplines.

Book Description
The World System confronts the idea that historic long term economic interconnectedness did not begin, as some say, 500 years ago, but rather 5,000. The editors have gathered an impressive array of scholars involved in world system analysis, and include both statements and responses to the idea of a "one world system". Contributors such as Immanuel Wallerstein and William H. McNeil take up the various aspects and issues created by these controversial and challenging theories.
The World System is addressed to a wide range of disciplines, for whom such a radical thesis may have important implications. The book broadly poses a challenge to Eurocentric world history, and offers a humanocentric alternative analysis.
Customer Reviews:
A well documented review on world systems........2000-04-01
This is a very good collection of articles on the historic long-term interconnections of global history. It is an attempt to understand human history as a whole by coping with diversity of tongues and concepts that different cultures have used to guide their conduct and understanding of the world. The principal prisms of interpretation are the center-periphery analysis, with a focus on hegemony and rivalry within the structures. The contemporary world has a history of more than 5,000 years with the rise to dominance of Europe and Western civilization as a recent and plausible passing event.
