Altamira Press Civilizations and World Systems: Studying World-Historical Change

Sanderson invites the leading figures in comparative civilizational studies and world systems analysis-including Wallerstein, MacNeill, Frank, Wilkinson, Chase-Dunn, and Robertson-to compare and contrast their assumptions and conclusions about broad-scale social and historical change. A mixture of newly commissioned work and recently published articles, this book is unmatched as a useful introduction to current thinking about global historical change.
