Rise and Demise: Comparing World-Systems. Christopher Chase-Dunn and Thomas D. Hall. 1997. Boulder, CO: Westview Press.  This book compares the modern global world-system with earlier regional intersocietal systems. Christopher Chase-Dunn and Thomas Hall propose an evolutionary theory that explains how myriad small-scale systems became unified into a single global system over the last ten thousand years. Their theory focuses on semiperipheral societies as agents of expansion and transformation of political structures and economic networks and suggests how basic transformation might occur in the future.  Ordering Info (or call 1-800-386-5656).

The Wintu and Their Neighbors:
A Very Small World-System in
Northern California
Christopher Chase-Dunn
and
Kelly M. Mann

On the cutting edge of world-systems theory comes The Wintu and Their Neighbors, the first case study to compare and contrast systematically an indigenous Native American society with the modern world at large. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines sociology, anthropology, political science, geography, and history, Christopher Chase-Dunn and Kelly M. Mann have scoured the archaeological record of the Wintu, an aboriginal people without agriculture, mettallurgy, or class structure, who lived in the wooded valleys and hills of Northern California. By studying the household composition, kinship, and trade relations of the Wintu, they call into question some of the basic assumptions of prior sociological theory and analysis.
Chase-Dunn and Mann argue that Immanuel Wallerstein's world-systems perspective, originally applied only to the study of modern capitalist societies, can also be applied to the study of social, economic, and political relationships in small, stateless societies. They contend that despite the fact that the Wintu appear on the surface to have been a household-based society, this indigenous groups was in fact involved in a myriad of networks of interaction that resulted in intermarriages and that extended for many miles around the region. These interactions, which were not based on the economic dominance of one society over another -- a concept fundamental to Wallerstein's world-systems theory -- led to the eventual expansion of the Wintu as a cultural group.  Thus, despite the fact that the Wintu lacked wealth accumulation, class distinctions, and culture dominance, Chase-Dunn and Mann insist that the Wintu were involved in a world-system and argue, therefore, that they concept of the "minisystem" should be discarded. They urge other scholars to employ this comparative world-systems perspective in their research on stateless societies.

This book is a close study of a very small world-system in Northern California. The comparative world-systems perspective examines the structures and developmental patterns of intersocietal networks, be they small or global. The modern world-system is a complex, hierarchical intercontinental system that encompasses the whole Earth. An important structural feature of the modern system is the core/periphery hierarchy composed of developed and developing countries. Beginning about twelve thousand years ago nomadic foragers in the Near East settled into villages creating the first mesolithic sedentary societies. These first sedentary foragers -- the Natufians -- interacted in important ways with neighboring nomads, creating the first instance of a differentiated core/periphery relationship. Such small scale egalitarian societies continued to exist in Northern California until they were disrupted by the Gold Rush of 1849.

The native Californians at the north end of the Sacramento Valley were sedentary and territorial hunter-gatherers who interacted with one another across major linguistic boundaries by means of trade, warfare, intergroup celebrations and cross-cultural intermarriage networks. We studied the social geography of this regional system to determine if any of the intergroup interaction patterns could be construed as core/periphery relations. We conclude that this was a system in which fundamentally egalitarian intersocietal relations were being reproduced, though some aspects of intergroup relations exhibited mild, and perhaps incipient, forms of intersocietal hierarchy.

This case study of the Wintu and their neighbors has important implications for sorting out the structural similarities and differences between smaller and larger world-systems. Despite being quite small in comparative perspective, the Northern California world-system was not a "minisystem" in which a single culture encompassed all systemically important interactions. As with most other world-systems, important interactions were occurring across major cultural and linguistic boundaries. Core/periphery hierarchy was a very mild affair. The valley-dwelling Wintu were expanding into the territory of surrounding hill peoples, but the rate and methods of expansion and incorporation were slow and non-exploitative, especially in comparison with the process of genocide and forced incorporation that occurred when the modern world-system engulfed the indigenes of Northern California. We postulate hypothetical alternative outcomes based on a theory of world-systems evolution to imagine what might have happened in Northern California if the indigenous peoples of this region had not been violently incorporated into the expanding capitalist world-economy. This study contributes knowledge of an important case to the research program known as the comparative world-systems perspective and sheds new light on the unique aspects of the cultures and social structures created by the indigenous peoples of Northern California.

Future of Global Conflict
Volker Bornschier and  Christopher Chase-Dunn  (eds.)
This book addresses the question of future competition for hegemony in the core of the global system. The authors, both sociologists and political scientists, construct scenarios and examine long terms trends and cycles of the global system to inform their judgements about possible and probable futures. The core of the modern world-system has experienced a series of hegemonic rises and declines for centuries. The Dutch were hegemonic in the European world-economy of the seventeenth century. The British rose to hegemony in the nineteenth century, and the United States emerged as the economic and military hegemon of the twentieth century. The U.S. economic hegemony is now declining and the question upon which this book focusses is whether or not the cycles of the rise and fall of hegemonic core powers will be replaced by a new supranational structure of competition and cooperation in the next two or three decades. Will a more pacific global system of economic competition and cooperation replace the the combination of economic competition and military conflict that has been the modus operandi of the world-system for centuries? Which countries or regions have strong prospects for a future hegemonic position? Several of the contributing authors evaluate the hegemonic prospects of the United States, Germany, German-led Europe, Japan and China.

Spiral of Capitalism and Socialism: Toward Global Democracy
Terry Boswell and Christopher Chase-Dunn

 At the core of this book is the argument that, though the word "socialism" is widely held in disdain in the current discourse about the world's past and its future, the idea of socialism as collective rationality and popular democracy is far from dead.

 Boswell and Chase-Dunn describe a spiral of capitalism and socialism—of economic expansion  and social progress—that creates repeated opportunities for positive transformation at the global  level. They contend that social democracy is both desirable and possible at the level of the  world-system. And they present a straight-forward, compelling case in support of that contention.

 The first section of the book explains the structural dynamics of the world-system. The second  explores the great failures, and the limited successes, that were the outcome of efforts to build a  state socialist "second world." A final section addresses the possible futures of the world-system  and, especially, how to move realistically toward global democracy.

Terry Boswell was professor of sociology at Emory University. He is author of America's  Changing Role in the World-System and Revolution in the World-System.
Christopher  Chase-Dunn is professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University. His recent publications  include and Global Conflict in the Future.

Guatamalan Development and Democracy

<>Christopher Chase-Dunn, Nelson Amaro and Susanne Jonas (eds.) 2001 Lanham, MD: Rowman and Littlefield.

Globalization on the Ground offers us an in-depth picture of the prospects and difficulties of a democratic transition in Guatemala following its civil war. Its story, told by Guatemalan and U.S. scholars, has lessons about power and ethnicity applicable around the globe, and should be read by far more than the area specialists. It is the story of the uncertain hopes of our current world scene.” Immanuel Wallerstein

Hegemonic Declines:

Present and Past

Jonathan Friedman and Christopher Chase-Dunn (eds.) 2005. Boulder, CO.: Paradigm Press.

The United States is currently the world's only military and economic superpower. But the September 11th terrorist attacks, widely spread unhappiness with U.S. policies among both allies and challengers, and growing discontent with U.S.-led corporate globalization may be signs that the nation's superpower status may not last. The place of the United States in the global system of power is one of the main problems that is examined by prominent sociologists, anthropologists and geographers from all over the world in this integrated collection of essays on the phenomenon of hegemonic decline.

This book addresses the difficulties of conceptualizing and assessing hegemonic rise and decline in comparative and historical perspective. Several chapters are devoted to the study of hegemony in premodern and early modern world-systems. And several chapters examine hegemony in the modern world-system, especially comparing the current era of United States primacy with the earlier Dutch and British hegemonies. A final section considers resistance movements and hegemonic transitions by studying transnational indigenism and the relationship between terrorism and hegemonic decline.

The possible futures of the global system are illuminated by careful study of its past and comparisons with power processes in the premodern ages.

The Historical Evolution

of World-Systems

Christopher Chase-Dunn and E.N. Anderson (eds.) 2005.  London: Palgrave.

Isbn 1-4039-6590-0

This book analyses the historical evolution of world-systems. The chapters consider various aspects of the rise and fall of great powers as seen in particular cases from early time periods. Taken together, they advance our understanding of the regularities in the dynamics of empire and economic expansion since the Bronze Age.

The authors all share a world historical systems perspective on large-scale social change. They analyze the expansion and contraction of cross-cultural trade networks and systems of competing and allying states. In premodern times, these ranged from small local trading networks (even the very small ones of hunting-gathering peoples) to the vast Mongol world-system (Genghis Khan’s empire and the much larger area it affected deeply). Within such systems, there is usually one, or a very few, hegemonic powers (again, the range is from the overwhelming dominance of the Mongols under Genghis down to such things as the brief and tenuous hold of the Portuguese on power at the start of the modern world-system).

A great deal of scholarship has been engaged in recent years on the questions of how such systems change, and how certain powers achieve varying degrees of dominance within them. The chapters in this book review several recent approaches and present a wealth of new findings. Two of the chapters address the rise of the West and the recent debates over why the European powers were eventually able to outpace the complex societies of South and East Asia. And one of the chapters addresses the political ecology of hegemonic competition within the modern world-system.

The book is aimed primarily at scholars in history and the social sciences, but may also have a broader appeal. It will be of interest to those who care to understand the rise and fall of empires and the regularities in historical processes over space and time; it could thus have a wide readership. It should also prove useful in advanced college courses in world history, world-systems theory, and human ecology.

The essays in Global Social Change explore globalization from a world-systems perspective, untangling its many contested meanings. This perspective offers insights into globalization's gradual and uneven growth throughout the course of human social evolution.
In this informative and exciting volume, Christopher Chase-Dunn and Salvatore J. Babones bring together accomplished senior sociologists and outstanding younger scholars with a mix of interests, expertise, and methodologies to offer an introduction to ways of studying and understanding global social change.
In both newly written essays and previously published articles from the Journal of World Systems Research, the contributors employ historical and comparative social science to examine the development of institutions of global governance, the rise and fall of hegemonic core states, transnational social movements, and global environmental challenges. They compare post–World War II globalization with the great wave of economic integration that occurred in the late nineteenth century, analyze the rise of the political ideology of the "globalization project"—Reaganism-Thatcherism—and discuss issues of gender and global inequalities.

Christopher Chase-Dunn is a professor of sociology and the director of the Institute for Research on World-Systems at the University of California–Riverside. Salvatore J. Babones is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Pittsburgh.

Globalization from the Stone Age to the Present

Christopher Chase-Dunn and Bruce Lerro

Paradigm Publishers

http://www.paradigmpublishers.com/Books/BookDetail.aspx?productID=364458

From the Stone Age to the Internet Age, this book tells the story of human sociocultural evolution. It describes the conditions under which hunter-gatherers, horticulturalists, agricultural states, and industrial capitalist societies formed, flourished, and declined. Drawing evidence from archaeology, ethnography, linguistics, historical documents, statistics, and survey research, the authors trace the growth of human societies and their complexity, and they probe the conflicts in hierarchies both within and among societies. They also explain the macro-micro links that connect cultural evolution and history with the development of the individual self, thinking processes, and perceptions.

Key features of the text

• Designed for undergraduate and graduate social science classes on social change and globalization topics in sociology, world history, cultural geography, anthropology, and international studies.
• Describes the evolution of the modern capitalist world-system since the fourteenth century BCE, with coverage of the rise and fall of system leaders: the Dutch in the seventeenth century, the British in the nineteenth century, and the United States in the twentieth century.
• Provides a framework for analyzing patterns of social change.
• Includes numerous tables, figures, and illustrations throughout the text.
• Supplemented by framing part introductions, suggested readings at the end of each chapter, an end of text glossary, and a comprehensive bibliography.
• Offers a web-based auxiliary chapter on Indigenous North American World-Systems and a companion website with excel data sets and additional web links for students.
