The fall of communism, the emergence of the information age, and the expansion of economic globalism are the point of departure for this text. The author shows how these seemingly new developments fit with earlier patterns of global formation and change. This edition also evaluates studies of the modern world-system and assesses the implications for the future of the contemporary system.
