And yet the Twain Meet: Great Convergence brings the East closer to the West -- Great Divergence and the Rise of the West -- Great Convergence and the Rise of the Rest -- The Great Convergence and Globalization: How the Former Colo-nies Became the World Economic Locomotives -- Afterword. The Great Convergence and Possible Increase in Global Instability, or the World without an Absolute Leader. 330 $aThis new monograph provides a stimulating new take on hotly contested topics in world modernization and the globalizing economy. It begins by situating what is called the Great Divergence--the social/technological revolution that led European nations to outpace the early dominance of Asia--in historical context over centuries. This is contrasted with an equally powerful Great Convergence, the recent economic and technological expansion taking place in Third World nations and characterized by narrowing inequity among nations. They are seen here as two phases of an inevitable global process, centuries in the making, with the potential for both positive and negative results.   This sophisticated presentation examines:   Why the developing world is growing more rapidly than the developed world. How this development began occurring under the Western world's radar. How former colonies of major powers grew to drive the world's economy. Why so many Western economists have been slow to recognize the Great Convergence. The increasing risk of geopolitical instability. Why the world is likely to find itself without an absolute leader after the end of the American hegemony   A work of rare scope, Great Divergence and Great Convergence gives sociologists, global economists, demographers, and global historians a deeper understanding of the broader movement of social and economic history, combined with a long view of history as it is currently being made; it also offers some thrilling forecasts for global development in the forthcoming decades. 410 0$aInternational Perspectives on Social Policy, Administration, and Practice,$x2625-6983 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aDemography 606 $aPopulation 606 $aPopulation$xEconomic aspects 606 $aInternational Economics 606 $aPopulation and Demography 606 $aPopulation Economics 606 $aInternational Political Economy? 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 0$aPopulation$xEconomic aspects. 615 14$aInternational Economics. 615 24$aPopulation and Demography. 615 24$aPopulation Economics. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy?. 676 $a304.6 676 $a330 676 $a337 676 $a339.5 700 $aGrinin$b Leonid$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0897774 702 $aKorotayev$b Andrey$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298470503321 996 $aGreat Divergence and Great Convergence$92519730 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01182nam0 22002891i 450 001 UON00423589 005 20231205104837.51 100 $a20130430d1970 |0itac50 ba 101 $afre 102 $aFR 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aAu-delà de l'absurde$atraduit de l'anglais par Françoise Vernan$fMartin Esslin 210 $aParis$cBuchet-Chastel$d1970 215 $a358 p.$d21 cm. 606 $aTeatro$xFrancia$xStoria$xSec. 20.$3UONC077873$2FI 620 $aFR$dParis$3UONL002984 676 $a792.015$cRappresentazioni sceniche.
