TOWARD COMPARATIVE GLOBALIZATIONS:GLOBALIZATION IN HISTORICAL RETROSPECTIVE AND WORLD-SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
This introduction explains the background and underlying theoretical and substantive debates about globalization, world-systems analysis, and the ways to make comparisons among them. It provides information to introduce the topics to readers not closely familiar with these debates. It also situates the contexts for each of the papers in those theoretical and empirical discussions. This introduction, and the entire issue, is not intended as a final word, or even current word. Rather, it is an invitation to scholars in many disciplines to contribute to these discussions.
