To I W Preface ublication of a festschrift should be an occasion for refl ection, for apprecia- Ption, and for hope: refl ection on an unusually signifi cant career, apprecia- tion for opening paths that contributors and others have followed, hope for the honoree’s well-being in the years that remain. Many far-fl ung colleagues and friends were invited to participate in this publication, and most were able to accept; so many, in fact, that the impossibility of an old-fashioned book quickly became apparent to us. At the other extreme was the example of the open web- site through which Noam Chomsky was honored on the recent occasion of his seventieth birthday. Thus we were happy to hit upon the present alterna- tive, a special macro “double double” issue of the on-line Journal of World-Systems Research —itself an important institutional by-product of Immanuel Waller- stein’s lifework. “Double double:” half the contents will appear in this jumbo summer/fall issue (VI, 2) and half in the fall/winter (VI, 3); each of the two numbers is twice normal size. We hope that our readers will agree that “macro” is indeed appropriate in this instance. As adumbrated in the introduction that follows, it is convenient to divide Wallerstein’s scholarly career into three overlapping temporalities: Africa and colonialism/nationalism; the modern world-system; social science and the structures of knowledge. We have organized this festschrift around this scheme, such that VI, 2 contains the introduction, three general essays, fi ve contri- butions with a colonial/national thematic, and eight dealing with historical aspects of the modern world-system. The subsequent double issue, to appear in the Winter, includes nine contributions focussed on contemporary global mat- ters and thirteen on questions of social science concepts and methods. As we salute Prof. Wallerstein at 70, we know that he joins us in thanking those who helped make this publication possible: Donna Devoist of the Fer- nand Braudel Center at Binghamton University; Christopher Chase-Dunn, founding editor of JWSR; Ben Brewer and Ho-Fung Hung at Johns Hopkins University; and Eric Titolo at Binghamton University and the University of California, Santa Cruz.

  • Globalization: a Short History
    CHAPTER 5 GLOBALIZATIONS )URGEN OSTERHAMMEL TI-IE revival of world history towards the end of the twentieth century was intimately connected with the rise of a new master concept in the social sciences: 'globalization.' Historians and social scientists responded to the same generational experience·---·the impression, shared by intellectuals and many other people round the world, that the interconnectedness of social life on the planet had arrived at a new level of intensity. The world seemed to be a 'smaller' place in the 1990s than it had been a quarter­ century before. The conclusions drawn from this insight in the various academic disciplines, however, diverged considerably. The early theorists of globalization in sociology, political science, and economics disdained a historical perspective. The new concept seemed ideally suited to grasp the characteristic features of contemporary society. It helped to pinpoint the very essence of present-day modernity. Historians, on their part, were less reluctant to envisage a new kind of conceptual partnership. An earlier meeting of world history and sociology had taken place under the auspices of 'world-system theory.' Since that theory came along with a good deal of formalisms and strong assumptions, few historians went so far as to embrace it wholeheartedly. The idiom of 'globalization,' by contrast, made fewer specific demands, left more room for individuality and innovation and seemed to avoid the dogmatic pitfalls that surrounded world-system theory. 'Globalization' looked like a godsend for world historians. It opened up a way towards the social science mainstream, provided elements of a fresh terminology to a field that had sutlcred for a long time from an excess of descriptive simplicity, and even spawned the emergence of a special and up""ttHlate variant of world history-'global history.' Yet this story sounds too good to be true.

  • 1 Introduction: Why Geopolitical Economy?
    1 INTRODUCTION: WHY GEOPOLITICAL ECONOMY? The owl of Minerva, Hegel once remarked, takes wing at dusk. Knowledge results from reflection after the tumult of the day. This gloomy view may be too sweeping, but it certainly applies to the multipolar world order. Influential figures began hailing it in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession. The American president of the World Bank spoke of ‘a new, fast-evolving multi-polar world economy’ (World Bank, 2010). Veteran international financier George Soros predicted that ‘the current financial crisis is less likely to cause a global recession than a radical realignment of the global economy, with a relative decline of the US and the rise of China and other countries in the developing world’ (2008). However, the multipolar world order was much longer in the making. Developments of this magnitude simply don’t happen overnight even in a crisis (though, as we shall see, emerging multipolarity was a decisive factor in causing it), and this has important implications for prevailing understandings of the capitalist world order. Recent accounts stressed its economic unity: globalization conceived a world unified by markets alone while empire proposed one unified by the world’s most powerful – ‘hegemonic’ or ‘imperial’ (the terms tended to be used interchangeably) – state. They also assumed either that nation-states were not relevant to explaining the world order (globalization), or that only one, the United States, was (empire). We can call these views cosmopolitan, a term the Oxford English Dictionary defines as ‘not restricted to any one country or its inhabitants’ and ‘free from national limitations or attachments’.

  • Immanuel Wallerstein's World-Systems Theory
    Immanuel Wallerstein This presentation is based on the theory of Immanuel Wallerstein as presented in books listed in the bibliography. A summary of this and other macro-social theories can be found in Macrosociology: Four Modern Theorists, by Frank W. Elwell. Marx’s legacy in social theory does not lie in his predictions of future utopias but rather in his analyses of the workings and contradictions of capitalism. Within contemporary sociology this tradition is very much alive in world-systems analysis, a perspective developed by Immanuel Wallerstein in the 1970s. According to Wallerstein, the modern nation state exists within a broad economic, political, and legal framework which he calls a “world- system.” Just as individual behavior cannot be understood without reference the sociocultural system in which they are members, individual societies or nation states cannot be understood without reference to the world-system in which they are embeded. Modern nation states are all part of the world- system of capitalism, and it is this world- system that Wallerstein seeks to understand. Wallerstein believes that there are only three basic types of social systems. The first he terms as “mini-systems,” these are the small, homogenous societies studied by anthropologists. Hunting and gathering, pastoral, and simple horticultural societies are relatively self-contained economic units, producing all goods and services within the sociocultural system itself. The second type of social system is a “world- empire.” This system has an economy that is based on the extraction of surplus goods and services from outlying districts. Much of this tribute goes to pay for the administrators who extract it and for the military to ensure continued domination, the rest goes to the political rulers at the head of the empire.

In Berlin he belonged to the circle of "Left Hegelians" (Bruno Bauer and others) who sought to draw atheistic and revolutionary conclusions from Hegel's philosophy.
