Instead this volume asserts that the current global political economy began to take shape around 1500 and that some of today's key processes were already perceivable several hundred years ago. The book explains the interdependence between long-term economic growth, global political leadership and global war and how this interdependence has evolved over the last 500 years, and includes discussion of: *the ascendence of Western Europe and the significance of the 1490s *the military superiority thesis *sequences of leadership and of challenge to the global political economy *the importance of commodities from sugar and cloth to slaves and bullion *the Anglo-American rivalry until the First World War. 410 0$aInternational relations and history series. 606 $aInternational economic relations$xHistory 606 $aGlobalization$xHistory 606 $aEconomic history 615 0$aInternational economic relations$xHistory. 615 0$aGlobalization$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic history. 676 $a337 700 $aThompson$b William R.$0141765 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823919403321 996 $aEmergence of the global political economy$9509192 997 $aUNINA
