Military technological changes decisively shaped geopolitics and the fortunes of states, empires and civilizations. In his book Jimmy Teng claims that to understand the impacts of these military technological changes is in fact to understand the causes behind the following major historical puzzles or important facts: the leading position of the Near East during the dawn of civilization; the splendid achievements of Greece, India and China during the axial era; the classical golden age of India under the Gupta Empire; the Abbasid Golden Age of the Islamic world and the Sung Puzzle of China during the medieval era; and the rise of the West during the early modern and modern era.Military & Naval ScienceHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCMilitary Science - GeneralHILCCEconomic Development.International Political Competition.Military Technology.World History.Military & Naval ScienceLaw, Politics & GovernmentMilitary Science - General330Teng Jimmy1965-802456PQKBUkMaJRU996463253503316Musket, Map and Money2004784UNISA03617oam 2200649I 450 991079099070332120230126203700.01-135-70161-X1-138-96531-61-315-05392-61-135-70154-710.4324/9781315053929 (CKB)2550000001186242(EBL)1596471(SSID)ssj0001192046(PQKBManifestationID)11805223(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001192046(PQKBWorkID)11227529(PQKB)11754484(OCoLC)874152320(MiAaPQ)EBC1596471(OCoLC)897454653(EXLCZ)99255000000118624220130331e20132000 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCapital and coercion the economic and military processes that have shaped the world economy, 1800-1990 /Jeffrey KentorLondon :Routledge,2013.1 online resource (135 p.)Transnational business and corporate cultureFirst published 2000 by Garland Publishing, Inc.0-8153-3579-2 1-306-34362-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover; Transnational Business and Corporate Culture; Title Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Preface; Chapter One: Introduction; Introduction; Outline of the Book; Chapter Two: Literature Review; Theoretical Framework; The Core/Periphery Hierarchy; Origins and Boundaries of the System; Mechanisms of Reproduction; Mechanisms of Mobility; Semiperipheral Mobility; Core Mobility (Hegemony); Empirical Studies of the Core/Periphery Hierarchy; A Theoretical Model; Chapter Three: Empirical Analyses; Research Design and Methods; Variables and Countries Included in the AnalysesCombined Data SetsMissing Data; Countries Included in the Analyses; Chapter Four: Position in the World-Economy; A Model of Position in the World-Economy; Calculating Position in the World-Economy; Position in the World-Economy 1990; Results; Calculating a Global Measure of Position 1990; Factor Analysis; A Surrogate Measure of Position in the World-Economy; Position in the World-Economy 1900-1990; Method of Calculation; Results; Chapter Five: Mobility in the World-Economy; The Core of the World-Economy 1990; Changes in Core Power 1820-1990; Mobility in the Semiperiphery and PeripherySemiperipheral MobilityMobility in the Periphery; Chapter Six: A Causal Model of the Relationships Among Economic and Military Dimensions; Chapter Seven: Summary and Conclusions; Theoretical Implications; Core/periphery Structure; Mobility in the Core/periphery Hierarchy; Hegemony; Causal Modeling; Implications of the Findings; Directions for Future Research; Endnotes; Appendix A.
