More specifically, the political-economic role of lead economies ? the world?s most innovative economies for finite periods of time ? in world politics. These represent unusual concentrations of new technologies, energy sources, and military capabilities of global reach that play disproportional roles in the conduct of international affairs and the provision of limited governance at the most macro level. They also possess close links to economic growth and intense conflict. The book describes the economic, military and political processes behind the systemic leadership of a state at the international level. It also highlights the economic preconditions of systemic leadership, such as economic monopoly of new technologies and energy, which underlie the system leader?s material advantage over others. Analyzing lead economies and the evolution of power over a number of centuries, the author demonstrates how disruptions wrought by the emergence of new technologies and energy sources are partly responsible for global conflicts. This book appeals to international relations scholars as well as anyone interested in the political economy of systemic leadership, growth, and conflict in world politics. 410 0$aWorld-Systems Evolution and Global Futures,$x2522-0985 606 $aPolitical economy 606 $aPolitical leadership 606 $aEconomic growth 606 $aPeace 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 606 $aPolitical Leadership$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911230 606 $aEconomic Growth$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000 606 $aConflict Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912060 615 0$aPolitical economy. 615 0$aPolitical leadership. 615 0$aEconomic growth. 615 0$aPeace. 615 14$aInternational Political Economy. 615 24$aPolitical Leadership. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aConflict Studies. 676 $a909.82 676 $a909 700 $aThompson$b William R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0141765 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910407714003321 996 $aPower Concentration in World Politics$92266482 997 $aUNINA
