Description

Expand your understanding of global structures with the second edition of An Introduction To The World-system Perspective. Published by Routledge, this updated text by Thomas Shannon provides a comprehensive assessment of the world-system perspective, incorporating major theoretical and empirical developments that have emerged since 1989. This edition moves beyond basic theory to address significant historical shifts, such as the fall of the Eastern Bloc. It explores modern, essential topics including relations with indigenous peoples, cultural analysis, methodology, women, and race. By presenting world-system analysis as a flexible and changing paradigm, Shannon prepares readers to consider future directions in the field. Designed specifically for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students, this book serves as a vital resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and complex global systems. It offers a deep dive into how world-systems function and evolve in a modern context.
