The central issues in recent economic and historical research and
debates on the emergence of a global economy are: How and when did
the development of an economic world system start? What were the
essential economic, social or cultural factors which contributed to
the emergence of a world-encompassing commercial network? The book
examines the expansion of commercial activities since the
seventeenth century by analysing the various facets of commercial
networking and their linkages at three different operational levels
and for various countries and regions. The first part focuses on
the emergence, decline and reconstruction of whole networks. The
second part provides an actor-centered approach highlighting the
role of actors, agencies and institutions in the networking
process, while the third one explores the role of commercial cities
as merger of global and local functions. The essays provide an
innovative approach as they elaborate the interplay between
different levels of the emerging world economy. The contributions
to this book were originally delivered at a conference organized in
Dusseldorf, 07-09 March 2002. The selected essays in this volume
offer an international and interdisciplinary approach to the
complex and multi-layered process of the expansion of the economic
world system.
