The World-System as Unit of Analysis

World-system analyses have recast the study of between- and within-nation country inequality as constituent aspects of a single field of inquiry: the study of inequality and social stratification as processes that always have been global in their very essence. World-system analyses maintain that global social stratification pivots around institutional arrangements that render distributional outcomes as simultaneously national, gendered, racialized, and global processes.

This book takes stock of some of the enduring theoretical and empirical contributions of a world-system perspective, and identifies promising directions for future inquiry and discussion. Some chapters reassess the scope and methodologies of world-system analysis around several key problems (e.g., the spatial and temporal boundaries of global commodity chains, the construction and challenge of various dimensions of social inequality, systemic, and antisystemic social movements). Others take stock of areas in which world-systems are promoting methodological innovation and/or generating useful global data, and identify questions that demand additional methodological and empirical attention for future research.

In different ways, this book help us to critically reconsider some of the enduring legacies within a world-system perspective (such as Karl Polanyis concept of the double movement, or the distinction drawn by Giovanni Arrighi and Immanuel Wallerstein between systemic and antisystemic movements). As argued by many of the authors in this book, a world-historical approach calls for greater sensitivity to the manifold ways in which conceptual boundaries change over time and space. Taking seriously the issue of unit of analysis, this book explores critically productive ways for better understanding global patterns of continuity and change.

Roberto Patricio Korzeniewicz is Professor and Chair of Sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park (USA). His book Unveiling Inequality (New York University Press, 2009), co-written with Timothy P. Moran, won the 2010 Best Book Award of the Political Economy of the World-System section of the American Sociological Association. His current research focuses on global patterns of income inequality, social stratification, and mobility.

Guide

The 40th Annual Conference on the Political Economy of the World System was held in April 2016 at the University of Maryland in College Park. Scott Albrecht collaborated in the initial stages of planning, and helped develop a very strong program for the meeting. Ms. Karina Havrilla, Academic Coordinator of the Sociology Department, provided invaluable logistical support. Dean Gregory Ball and Associate Dean Wayne McIntosh, of the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, were enthusiastic in their support for the conference, and contributed a large portion of the resources that made the meeting possible. And of course, the meeting was made successful by the engaged contribution of all its participants. To everyone, my sincere appreciation.

David Baronov is Professor of Sociology at St. John Fisher College. His most recent publications include The Dialectics of Inquiry Across the Historical Social Sciences (Routledge), a fundamental reframing of the local/global nexus from a world-historical perspective.

Paul S. Ciccantell is Professor of Sociology and Director of the Kercher Center for Social Research in the Department of Sociology at Western Michigan University. His research examines socioeconomic change over the long term, the evolution of global industries, and the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of global industries, focusing particularly on raw materials extraction and processing and transport industries.

Paul K. Gellert is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of TennesseeKnoxville and, during 201718, Affiliated Fellow at Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV) in Leiden, the Netherlands.
