Critique and Anti-Critique: Essays on Dependence and Reformism

Praeger

The historic long term economic interconnections of the world are now universally accepted. The idea of the economic 'world system' advanced by Immanuel Wallerstein has set the period of linkage in the early modern period but Andre Gunder Frank and Barry K. Gills think that this date is much too late. They argue an interconnection going back as much as 5000 years. In The World System, leading academics examine this issue, in a debate contributed to by William H. McNeill and Immanuel Wallerstein among others.

The World System: Five Hundred Years or Five Thousand?

Bringing together classic readings from a wide variety of sources, this key book investigates how our cities and towns can become more sustainable. Thirty-eight selections span issues such as land use planning, urban design, transportation, ecological restoration, economic development, resource use and equity planning.

Additional sections present twenty-four case studies of real-world sustainable urban planning examples, sustainability planning exercises, and further reading. Providing background in theory, practical application, and vision, in a clear, accessible format, The Sustainable Urban Development Reader is an essential resource for students, professionals, and indeed anyone interested in the future of urban environments.

Crisis - In the Third World

Heinemann Educational Publishers

The world-system perspective as promulgated by Immanuel Wallerstein is one of the most influential approaches to the study of political and economic ties between the nations of the world. But there are other schools of thought that also look at the world economy as a whole through history. This volume presents work from well-known world-systems analysts including Wallerstein, scholars from other schools such as George Modelski, and political scientists who take divergent approaches to similar subjects. What emerges is a great theoretical discussion. The book also features an exceptionally clear introduction by the editor to the concepts and issues of the world-system perspective, its antecedents, its assets, and its deficiencies.
