An updated edition extends a world-systems structural modelof the world economy to take into account events that have occurred since 1985, including the emergence of the information age, the expansion of economic globalism, & the fall of communism.

Sociological Abstracts, April 2000

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.
