Book Description
La aparición en inglés del primer volumen de El moderno sistema mundial supuso en 1974 el comienzo de una verdadera revolución en la historiografía y un fuerte impulso al renacimiento de la sociología histórica. Más allá de las discrepancias y las polémicas a las que ha dado y está dando origen, esta obra es ya un clásico. Su argumento central es que el moderno sistema mundial toma la forma de una economía-mundo capitalista que tuvo génesis en Europa en el largo siglo XVI e implicó la transformación de un modo de producción tributario o redistributivo específico, el de la Europa feudal, en un sistema social cualitativamente diferente. Desde entonces la economía-mundo capitalista se ha extendido geográficamente hasta abarcar todo el globo; ha seguido un modelo cíclico de expansión y contracción y una localización geográfica variable de los papeles económicos (el flujo y el reflujo de las hegemonías, los movimientos ascendentes y descendentes de los distintos centros, periferias y semiperiferias), y ha sufrido un proceso de transformación secular, incluyendo el avance tecnológico, la industrialización, la proletarización y el surgimiento de una resistencia política estructurada al propio sistema, transformación que está aún en marcha. Este tercer volumen de El moderno sistema mundial abarca lo que Wallerstein llama “segunda era de la gran expansión de la economía-mundo capitalista”, de 1730 a 1850. En él se estudian la llamada revolución industrial inglesa, la revolución de independencia de los países sujetos hasta entonces a la corona española, en función siempre del desarrollo de la moderna economía burguesa. Estos acontecimientos representan un fortalecimiento y una consolidación del sistema capitalista mundial, en el que se suprimen las fuerzas populares y su potencial queda constreñido a las futuras transformaciones políticas: habrá que esperar al siglo XIX para presenciar cómo esas fuerzas populares constituyen toda una nueva estrategia de lucha.

From free trade to globalization uncovering the mist of 21st century
Author: José Alberto, Pérez Toro
Publisher: Editorial Tadeo Lozano
ISBN: 9587251849
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
Much has been written about globalization as an economic and political concept. The academic debate looks forward for explanations about the historical roots and development of this emerging phenomenon where the Nation-State’s evolved into a system where nations are ruled by the dynamics of global interdependence. Globalization in the new era is characterized as a process where geographical, political and cultural borders tend to dissolve. The Westphalia notion of sovereignty capitulates against the principle of political subordination as integration of local power ensuring national legitimacy.

Law as Passion
Author: Miguel Nogueira de Brito
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030635015
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Inspired by the works of Professor Marcelo Neves, in this book colleagues come together to explore how their research has been influenced by non-European and post-colonial approaches. With a foreword by Karl-Heinz Ladeur, it features essays written by leading scholars in the fields of sociology of law and constitutional theory – including Hauke Brunkhorst, Darío Rodrígues, Kimmo Nuotio and Pablo Holmes. The content is divided into four sections, the first of which, “Law, State, and Global Crisis,” covers topics related to the modern constitutional state, the crisis of global capitalism, and the global rule of law. The second, “Symbolic Constitutionalization,” analyzes challenges to constitutionalism in the “Peripheral Modernity.” The authors in the third section examine how the concept of “Transconstitutionalism” can shed new light on contemporary debates concerning global public law. In turn, the last section of the book, “Systems Theory and Public Law,” addresses systems theory issues in the fields of legal history and administrative law. The book presents a relevant and original discussion encompassing such diverse fields as constitutional theory, international law, systems theory, and sociology of constitutions.

Jesuits and Asian Goods in the Iberian Empires, 1580–1700
Author: Pedro Omar Svriz-Wucherer
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9819924642
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
This book analyzes the exchange relations between the colonies of the Iberian Empires, starting from two cities ports, Buenos Aires and Macau in the period 1580-1700. Agents, who were not professional traders such as the members of the Society of Jesus, and the circulation and consumption of Asian goods in the local populations of Buenos Aires and Macau, were analyzed. Both cases of study will show us how these non-state agents- the Jesuits- build their own networks and exchange channels to Chinese goods distribution (i.e silk, porcelain, musk, amber and others) between Asia and Latin American. This book intends to break with the local scheme of Jesuit studies in order to combine the local scale with analysis of inter-regional processes on a continental scale, from a comparative perspective.

Spatio-Temporal Narratives
Author: Ana Crespo Solana
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443860999
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
This book explores new methods and techniques for research about merchant networks and maritime routes of trade during the First Global Age through the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a tool to visualize the formation of trading systems, database management, cartography and spatio-temporal analysis in Historical GIS. In doing so, the book focuses on key issues in understanding the birth of the so-called First Global Age (16th to 18th centuries): the integration of spatial economies; the regionalization of markets; the organization of maritime trade routes; and the evolution of self-organizing networks of merchants, producers, communities, and other social agents during the age of expansion. The essays collected here deal with relevant information about historical problems including maritime connections, the organization of oceanic trade and the use of digital cartography and metric analysis of old maps, and social network analysis – commercial networks involved a high level of cooperation and served to move goods and people within a highly open system over an expanding geographic space.

Adult Education in Communities
Author: Emilio Lucio-Villegas
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9463000437
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
Participation can be a double-edged sword in that it can be used to bind people into agendas and policies they have little control over or it can help enable them to give voice to real and significant issues. Drawing on the work of Raymond Williams, genuine participation has to be an open and democratic process which enables all to contribute to the creation of meanings. Adult education in communities can then be involved in the process of creating ‘really useful knowledge’, that is, knowledge which enables people – individuals and collectivities who experience systematic forms of oppression, domination and exploitation – to think about, analyse and act on their situation individually and severally. By drawing on contemporary accounts of emancipatory action and participatory research the author elaborates on the role of adult educators in this context. (From the Preface) This book tries to reflect on adult education and its close relationships with communities. It is a modest attempt to maintain adult education in the scope of the community life against the growing schooling, the focus on employability, and on the labour market. In the last years it seems that adult education has become a kind of provider of diplomas, skills and competences and has forgotten its role to enlighten individuals and help them to share their community life with an abundance of richness, diversity, sadness and happiness. Adult Education is intrinsically connected to daily life, and the life that individuals constantly edify in their interactions. If adult education is connected to daily life, one of the major tasks is to recover this feeling and to link daily life and education. I think that at present time, in a moment of intense reductionism, reality is usually presented as very plain, losing its complexity and diversity that are related to the fact that life is being lived everyday by men and women as creators and relational beings.

Material and Symbolic Circulation between Spain and England, 1554–1604
Author: Anne J. Cruz
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351919180
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Separated only by a narrow body of water, Spain and England have had a long history of material and cultural interactions; but this intertwined history is rarely perceived by scholars of one country with a view toward the other. Through their analyses of the various modes of exchange of material goods and the circulation of symbolic systems of meaning, the contributors to the anthology-historians and literary critics-investigate, for the first time, the two nations' express points of contact and conflict during these historically crucial fifty years. Focusing on the half-century period that began with the marriage of Mary Tudor to Prince Philip of Spain, and spanned the reigns of Philip II and Elizabeth I of England, the essays in this anthology demonstrate and problematize, from the perspective of Spanish cultural history, the significant material, cultural, and symbolic contacts between the two countries. The volume shows how the two countries' alliances and clashes, which led to the debacle of the 'Invincible Armada' of 1588 and continued for decades afterwards, held enormous historical significance by shaping the religious, political, and cultural developments of the modern world.

Neoliberalism and Neopanamericanism
Author: G. Prevost
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230107435
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
In this edited volume fourteen scholars, mostly from Latin America, analyze the current state of relations between North America and Latin America in a number of sectors - economic, security, politics, and the environment. Particular attention is paid to processes of economic integration that dominated political discussions during the decade of the 1990s - NAFTA, MERCOSUR, the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA). Because most of the scholars are from Latin America, the book has a perspective that is often lacking in books on similar scholars written almost exclusively by scholars from the U.S.
