"The authors combine an excellent state-of-the-art review of the
literature in world-systems analysis with a vigorous presentation
of their own quite coherent views. This book is a major
contribution to our collective dialogue on the past and the
future." -Immanuel Wallerstein Binghamton University, author of The
Modern World-System "An up-to-date and synthetic overview of
current world-systems research. The authors draw on diverse
literatures from political science to archaeology, from
contemporary policy issues to Native American studies, and from
history to sociology. This thoughtful volume serves as both a
provocative summary of ongoing scholarship and a fertile foundation
for future cross-disciplinary dialogue." -Gary M. Feinman
University of Wisconsin-Madison "To understand the evolution of the
world's political economy, we need empirical theories that can
handle 'ancient' and 'modern' processes, a longer time frame
encompassing multiple millennia, and less concern about trespassing
in other people's disciplines. Chase-Dunn and Hall's new book, Rise
and Demise, delivers all three with noteworthy style and effect."
-William Thompson Indiana University "Rise and Demise is a wide
ranging and stimulating synthesis of the world-systems approach and
its main findings. Its broad coverage of parallel social processes
in various regions and time periods convincingly makes the argument
that world-systems theory is able to integrate many diverse
historical and social science specializations." -Richard E. Blanton
Purdue University
