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.

Review:
Sanderson has made a notable contribution to the literature by bringing together the pieces included in this book. He has also made a very worthy effort in summarizing each perspective at the beginning of the first two parts and in pointing out basic questions for discussion....It should also fit nicely in reading lists for third-year undergraduate and graduate seminars on world historical change and the contemporary international system.--Gordon Mace "Perspectives on Political Science "
Synopsis:
Leading figures in the fields of civilizational studies and sociology and political science join to compare and contrast their assumptions and conclusions about broad-scale social and historical change.

Book Description Condition: Muy bueno. The grand historical and social theorizing of early in this century?works that conjure up names like Marx, Spengler, Toynbee, and Sorokin?has been out of favor for many years. Only recently have two new schools of research, comparative civilizational studies and world systems analysis, emerged to examine societies in the broadest possible terms. These two intellectual movements have run on parallel tracks, seldom engaging in each other's work?until now! Sanderson invites the leading figures in these two groups?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.
