The Decline of American Power: The U.S. in a Chaotic World
ISBN: 9781565847996 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The United States in decline? Its admirers and detractors alike claim the opposite: that America is now in a position of unprecedented global supremacy. But in fact, Immanuel Wallerstein argues, a more nuanced evaluation of recent history reveals that America has been fading as a global power since the end of the Vietnam War, and its response to the terrorist attacks of September 11 looks certain to hasten that decline. In this provocative collection, the visionary originator of world-systems analysis and the most innovative social scientist of his generation turns a practiced analytical...

The World is Out of Joint: World-Historical Interpretations of Continuing Polarizations
ISBN: 9781612057187 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The dominant view in social science has been that the modern world shows a pattern of linear development in which all positive social trends rise (albeit at an uncertain speed) toward a relatively homogenized world. In the post-1945 period, some analysts contested this linear model, arguing that the modern world was rather one of escalating polarization. Their view was strengthened by the separate emergence within the natural sciences of complexity studies, which suggested that natural systems inevitably moved away from equilibrium, and at a certain point bifurcated radically. This...The dominant view in social science has been that the modern world shows a pattern of linear development in which all positive social trends rise (... |

In these essays, written (with one exception) between 1978 and 1982, Immanuel Wallerstein elaborates on the political and theoretical implications of the world-systems perspective outlined in his celebrated books The Modern World-System and The Capitalist World-Economy.

Throughout, the essays offer new perspectives on the central issues of political debate...

European Universalism: The Rhetoric of Power
ISBN: 9781595580610 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How ideas such as civilization and progress have been used as a smoke screen for western dominance, by the world-renowned sociologist.
Ever since the Enlightenment, Western intervention around the world has been justified by appeals to notions of civilization, development, and progress. The assumption has been that such ideas are universal, encrusted in natural law. But, as Immanuel Wallerstein argues in this short and elegant philippic, these concepts are, in fact, not global. Rather, their genesis is firmly rooted in European thought and their primary function has been to provide...

Unthinking Social Science: Limits Of 19Th Century Paradigms
ISBN: 9781566398992 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this new edition of a classic work - now with a new preface - on the roots of social scientific thinking, Immanuel Wallerstein develops a thorough-going critique of the legacy of nineteenth-century social science for social thought in the new millennium. We have to unthink - radically revise and discard - many of the presumptions that still remain the foundation of dominant perspectives today. Once considered liberating, these notions are now barriers to a clear understanding of our social world. They include, for example, ideas built into the concept of development. In place of such a...

The Uncertainties of Knowledge
ISBN: 9781592132430 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Uncertainties of Knowledge, Immanuel Wallerstein extends his work over the last decade of elucidating the crisis of knowledge in current intellectual thought. Arguing that the current disciplinary divisions of academia - divisions produced by a previous crisis of knowledge - has left us trapped in a paradigm that assumes knowledge is a certainty that can help us explain the social world, Wallerstein offers us a new way of imagining the social sciences, one which allows for uncertainties and for methods of studying our world and its historical place.
