This book brings together leading scholars to explore the historical evolution of world systems through examining the ebb and flow of great powers over time, with particular emphasis on early time periods. The book advances understanding of the regularities in the dynamics of empire and the expansion of political, social and economic interaction networks, from the Bronze Age forward. The authors analyze the expansion and contraction of cross-cultural trade networks and systems of competing and allying political groupings. In premodern times, theses ranged from small local trading networks (even the very small ones of hunting-gathering peoples) to the vast Mongol world-system. Within such systems, there is usually one, or a very few, hegemonic powers. How they achieve dominance and how transitions lead to systems change are important topics, particularly at a time when the United States' position is in flux. The chapters in this book review several recent approaches and present a wealth of new findings. 410 0$aEvolutionary processes in world politics series. 606 $aSocial evolution 606 $aSocial history 606 $aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aSocial evolution. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 676 $a306/.09 701 $aChase-Dunn$b Christopher K$0791778 701 $aAnderson$b Eugene N$g(Eugene Newton),$f1941-$0777738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784212703321 996 $aThe historical evolution of world-systems$93858682 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02585oas 2200925 a 450 001 9910146922903321 005 20251105213014.0 011 $a1936-6590 035 $a(OCoLC)122564432 035 $a(CONSER) 2007213030 035 $a(CKB)1000000000289658 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000289658 100 $a20070406a20089999 sy a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aFlexible services and manufacturing journal 210 $aNorwell, MA $cSpringer US$d2008- 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 08$a1936-6582 531 10$aFlex Serv Manuf J 606 $aFlexible manufacturing systems$vPeriodicals 606 $aAutomation$vPeriodicals 606 $aProduction engineering$vPeriodicals 606 $aAutomation$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00822786 606 $aFlexible manufacturing systems$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00927244 606 $aProduction engineering$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01078282 606 $aAutomatització$2thub 606 $aSistemes de producció flexibles$2thub 606 $aEnginyeria de producció$2thub 606 $aSyste?mes flexibles de fabrication$vPe?riodiques 606 $aAutomatisation$vPe?riodiques 606 $aTechnique de la production$vPe?riodiques 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aRevistes electròniques.$2thub 615 0$aFlexible manufacturing systems 615 0$aAutomation 615 0$aProduction engineering 615 7$aAutomation. 615 7$aFlexible manufacturing systems. 615 7$aProduction engineering. 615 7$aAutomatització. 615 7$aSistemes de producció flexibles. 615 7$aEnginyeria de producció. 615 6$aSyste?mes flexibles de fabrication 615 6$aAutomatisation 615 6$aTechnique de la production 676 $a670.42/7 801 0$bNSD 801 1$bNSD 801 2$bNSD 801 2$bOCLCS 801 2$bUBY 801 2$bDLC 801 2$bUKMGB 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bBUF 801 2$bMYG 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bVT2 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bAU@ 801 2$bDLC 801 2$bNJT 801 2$bSFB 801 2$bBWN 801 2$bDLC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bIOY 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bCCO 801 2$bNTE 801 2$bRUQBL 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910146922903321 996 $aFlexible Services and Manufacturing Journal$91124686 997 $aUNINA
