The idea that political and economic power moves in coordinated
cycles has long intrigued political scientists and political
economists, for if a pattern exists in the rise and fall of
international political power, a model explaining this pattern
gains predictive qualities. In Leading Sectors and World Powers,
George Modelski and William R. Thompson venture beyond previous
attempts to explain why major powers rise, fall, and fight about
their changing status to establish an explicit connection between
war, economic innovation, and world leadership. They argue that
surges in economic innovation, which in turn are tied to global
war, determine leadership in the global system. Modelski and
Thompson base their theory on the coordination of long cycles
(phases of world order and decay punctuated by intensive bouts of
global war) and K-waves (cycles delineating the wax and wane of
leading industrial sectors). They contend that K-waves appear in
paired sets correlated to long-cycle shifts in political power.
Modelski and Thompson conclude by discussing the nature and timing
of the next K-wave/long cycle peak, commenting on the relevance of
it for U.S. industrial policy and speculating on the possibility of
evolving away from this pattern in the near future.
