Synopsis
In this second edition, Dr. Shannon extends his overall assessment of the world-system perspective to include the new theoretical and empirical developments in the field since 1989. Incorporating most leading arguments of world-system theorists, he addresses the fall of the Eastern Bloc as well as such current topics as relations with indigenous peoples, cultural analysis, methodology, women, and race. Finally, he discusses world-system analysis as a flexible and changing perspective and examines future directions in the field.
