Payne Johns Hopkins University cpayne@jhu.edu Following the upheavals of the first half of the twentieth century, Karl Polanyi indicted the British capitalist class as having “no organ to sense the dangers involved” in their social arrangements, and that the “all but sacramental belief in the universal benefice” of their own profits “disqualified them as the keepers of other interests…vital to a good life” (1944: 139).1 In his masterful new book, First-Class Passengers on a Sinking Ship, Richard Lachmann shows us that, far from being unique to the period of British denouement, the destructive pursuit of such narrow self-interest by elites has repeatedly caused the decline of great powers throughout historical capitalism. Through a rigorous analysis of modern empires and world hegemons, Lachmann argues that the rise and, especially, the fall of great powers can only be understood through the interests, conflicts, and compromises of elites. keywords: elites; lachmann; world cache: jwsr-1019.pdf plain text: jwsr-1019.txt item: #13 of 768 id: jwsr-102 author: Flora, Jan L. title: Review of "THE PEOPLE VS.

The revival of traditions of mutual aid during the global pandemic, autonomous Indigenous political territories in the global South as a response to the devastation of colonialism and neocolonialism, calls for abolition democracy in the global uprisings during the summer of 2020, and the important role played by Anti-Fascist Action or “Antifa” in confronting resurgent neo- fascisms across the world are just a few of countless examples of historical and contemporary anti- state, anti-systemic movements and non-state spaces. keywords: anti; issue; journal; movements; state; system; world cache: jwsr-1142.pdf plain text: jwsr-1142.txt item: #88 of 768 id: jwsr-1143 author: Grubačić, Andrej title: Editorial Note: Ruling Abstractions and Unruly Spaces date: 2022-08-25 words: 1201 flesch: 30 summary: While this strategy is no doubt historically relevant and state revolutions are important to understanding the inner workings of and resistance to the capitalist world-system, the analysis of non-state anti-systemic movements involves a different temporality and requires much further study from within the world-systems framework.

Th ere are several reasons why I decided to utilize Timbuktu’s history as a case study: I focus on Timbuktu because its decay can be used to test competing explanatory models and, most importantly, because it can be used to show that Timbuktu’s decline was neither an accident nor the result of inevitable natural * keywords: century; city; crisis; decay; decline; economic; empire; factors; mediterranean; population; songhai; system; timbuktu; trade cache: jwsr-166.pdf plain text: jwsr-166.txt item: #150 of 768 id: jwsr-167 author: Agnew, John title: The New Global Economy: Time-Space Compression, Geopolitics, and Global Uneven Development date: 2001-08-26 words: 9561 flesch: 52 summary: Th e globalizing world economy emerging since the collapse of the Bretton Woods years of the early Cold War (i.e. after 1970) is also marked by a substan- tially diff erent geography of economic growth from that characteristic of either the territorialized capitalism of the colonial era or the national development strategies of the Cold War 1950s and 1960s. In their place I argue for the importance of the geopolitical role of the United States and the vision of world economic order, or transnational liberalism, that post-World War II US governments have actively sponsored, both unilaterally and multilaterally (through global institutions they created, such as the IMF and World Trade Organization) in the emergence of the new global economy and its geographical structure. keywords: cold; countries; diff; economy; global; globalization; growth; national; new; space; states; time; trade; war; world; world economy cache: jwsr-167.pdf plain text: jwsr-167.txt item: #151 of 768 id: jwsr-168 author: Taagepera, Rein; Kaskla, Edgar title: The City-Country Rule: An Extension of the Rank-Size Rule date: 2001-08-26 words: 6396 flesch: 68 summary: Close to 50 percent of the largest cities still are located in the zone between n=0.9 and n=1.1, but this fi gure is somewhat misleading, since the deviant points are preponderantly above this zone rather than spread equally on both sides. prediction and evaluation of city populations Th is is the payoff section.

Th is question will be answered by fi rst developing a MWS explanation of democratization in the non-core, secondly by tracing the incorporation into the MWS of South Africa and Zambia and each country’s subsequent economic development and location in the international division of labor, thirdly by examining the transitions to democracy in each country, and fourthly by assessing the divergent processes of democratic consolidation in each country as they relate to location in the MWS.Th is article examines whether a Modern World- Systems (MWS) perspective can provide an improved understanding of the processes of democratization in Africa (and other devel- oping regions of the world) by conducting a comparative case study of South Africa and Zambia in the 1990s, examining the transitions to democracy and divergent processes of dem- ocratic consolidation in each country. keywords: 2000; africa; andreasson; consolidation; core; countries; country; democracy; democratic; democratization; development; economic; economy; elections; government; growth; human; international; mws; new; percent; periphery; political; politics; position; press; society; south africa; state; system; th e; transition; university; world; zambia cache: jwsr-179.pdf plain text: jwsr-179.txt item: #163 of 768 id: jwsr-18 author: Jorgenson, Andrew K. title: Five Points on Sociology, PEWS and Climate Change date: 2015-08-31 words: 2424 flesch: 58 summary: JWSR has a wonderful track record of publishing research on the environment, including climate change, and I’m proud that I modestly contributed to this while serving as coeditor of the journal from 2007 to 2011, and by guest coediting a special issue on globalization and the environment that appeared prior to my term as coeditor (http://jwsr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/jwsr/issue/view/35). #21 No. 2 | Five Points on Sociology, PEWS, Climate Change jwsr.org | http://dx.doi.org/10.5195/jwsr.2015.18 270 five points concerning sociological research on climate change, with particular attention given to the ways in which the PEWS tradition helps shape portions of this scholarly work, and I make a few connections between this work and the climate justice community. keywords: change; climate; journal; pews; research; system; world cache: jwsr-18.pdf plain text: jwsr-18.txt item: #164 of 768 id: jwsr-180 author: Carlson, Jon D. title: Broadening and Deepening: Systemic Expansion, Incorporation and the Zone of Ignorance date: 2001-08-26 words: 15993 flesch: 56 summary: Th e world system approach is also being used to study long-term social change in more ‘recent’ historical eras, though still well before the emer- gence of Wallerstein’s ‘modern’ world-system (Denemark, et al. 2000).

This relationship is structured in such a way that Third World women are objectively—not subjectively—linked to First World women through the commodi- ties which the latter buy. keywords: 1994; 1995; capitalism; chain; commodity; commodity chain; costs; economy; gender; households; labor; press; production; research; review; smith; system; wage; wallerstein; women; world cache: jwsr-182.pdf plain text: jwsr-182.txt item: #167 of 768 id: jwsr-183 author: Pettitt, Robin Thomas title: Review of "One World Emerging?

Following the 2002 World Food Summit LVC and other rural social movements established an autonomous network, the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC), to carry forward their platform by opening up political space for rural movements in global FAO forums and coaching them in how to occupy it effectively (McKeon 2009; Colombo and Onorati 2013).The experience they had accumulated over the successive decade allowed the movement‘s members to take advantage of the political opportunity offered by the food price crisis of 2007- 2008 by helping to design an unprecedented global policy forum – the reformed Committee on World Food Security – in which social movement organizations participate on the same footing as governments and are winning not insignificant discursive battles against the dominant industrial agriculture and corporate food system frames (McKeon 2015a). keywords: climate; food; http://dx.doi.org/10.5195/jwsr.2015.19; journal; lvc; sovereignty; system; vol; world cache: jwsr-19.pdf plain text: jwsr-19.txt item: #175 of 768 id: jwsr-190 author: Hall, Thomas D. title: Chiefdoms, States, Cycling, and World-Systems Evolution: A Review Essay date: 2001-02-26 words: 3978 flesch: 58 summary: Anderson says of these four chapters, “I have attempted to show how ethnog- raphy, ethnohistory, and archaeology can aid in the archaeological examination of political and organizational change in chiefdom societies, specifi cally the emergence and decline of complex chiefdoms against a regional backdrop of simple chiefdoms.” Anderson argues that complex chiefdoms emerge when leaders use existing trade networks in exotic goods—often used to symbolize and link trade in more prosaic goods which level the vagaries of local crop production and hunting—to shore up their leadership symbolically. keywords: anderson; cahokia; chiefdoms; cycling; ideology; states; systems; thomas; world cache: jwsr-190.pdf plain text: jwsr-190.txt item: #176 of 768 id: jwsr-191 author: Gunder Frank, Andre title: Caspian Sea Oil ?

The tacit acceptance of the centrality of the individual in Western societies, as of the development of the European bourgeoisies owing to the range of possibilities offered by cumulative “historical surplus value,” leads theoreticians and policy makers of the hitherto prevailing central area to refuse the legitimacy of the parallel set of processes unfolding in Oriental societies in their different geocultural areas, which give primacy to the group, community and togetherness. keywords: century; civilizations; national; nations; social; societies; specifi; times; world cache: jwsr-196.pdf plain text: jwsr-196.txt item: #182 of 768 id: jwsr-197 author: Fals Borda, Orlando title: Peoples?

Furthermore, although the conceivability of “multiple kinds of social systems,” which Wallerstein would prefer to call historical systems, is granted as a fundamental question, “our existing historical system (world-system)” is still a singular reality.20 At the same time, this exclusive reality /historical organism is left under- specifi ed and little theorizeed. keywords: analysis; century; future; historical; knowledge; modernity; new; science; social; space; system; time; wallerstein; world cache: jwsr-220.pdf plain text: jwsr-220.txt item: #209 of 768 id: jwsr-221 author: Bergesen, Albert title: The Columbia Social Essayists date: 2000-08-26 words: 6383 flesch: 46 summary: This is one of the central observations of late 20th century social life that will have to be factored into the next great round of social theory analogous to what Marx/Weber were for the end of the 19th century.

In short, if one looks at the battles fought at Megiddo and in the Jezreel Valley from the mid-fi rst millennium BC, when the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were in their last years of existence, up until AD 1948, when the State of Israel was established and the Israelis began actively defending their ter- ritory, it is clear that most of the confl icts were fought by rival empires from outside the area, each of which claimed or wanted the region for its own. keywords: area; jezreel; jezreel valley; megiddo; periphery; region; systems; valley; world cache: jwsr-233.pdf plain text: jwsr-233.txt item: #223 of 768 id: jwsr-234 author: Moore, Jason W. title: Commentary date: 2000-02-26 words: 2291 flesch: 47 summary: The theory of capital accumulation I am advocating illu- minates how ceaseless capital accumulation necessitates the expansion and increased exploitation of the proletariat, which in turn necessitates the expanded and intensifi ed exploitation of the natural environment through successive transformation of the world division of labor.

Gowan contends that a signal marker of the post-World War II global landscape has been the robust capacity of the U.S. to shape the poli- ties and policies of its de facto allies and would-be rivals in the core, and that the impressive extent of its capacity to do so is what fundamentally distinguishes U.S. hegemony from previous hegemonies. keywords: asia; capital; china; dollar; east; east asia; empire; europe; gowan; hegemony; japanese; u.s; western; world; . cache: jwsr-293.pdf plain text: jwsr-293.txt item: #281 of 768 id: jwsr-294 author: Leitner, Jonathan title: The Political Economy of Raw Materials Transport from Internal Periphery to Core in the Early 20th Century US: The Calumet & Hecla Copper Company?s Struggle for Market Access, 1922?39 date: 2004-08-26 words: 16442 flesch: 50 summary: Prompted by growing demand from a burgeoning electrical industry, U.S. copper firms had passed their Chilean counterparts for the lead in raw copper production, mining half the world’s copper from domestic mines by the mid-1890s.

In this regard, Arrighi revises his earlier analysis somewhat: While both The Long Twentieth Century and Adam Smith in Beijing claim that the center of the world economy is shifting to East Asia, the former focused on Japan as the region’s largest economy and the one leading its rise on the world stage; by the time Arrighi finished what we now know will be his last book, China’s decade-plus of unprecedented growth cemented its status as the most significant player in the East Asian capitalist archipelago. keywords: arrighi; china; chinese; development; east; new; smith; world cache: jwsr-321.pdf plain text: jwsr-321.txt item: #312 of 768 id: jwsr-322 author: Coyne, Gary title: Natural and Unnatural Paths date: 2009-08-26 words: 3147 flesch: 48 summary: NATURAL AND UNNATURAL PATHS Gary Coyne Department of Sociology University of California, Riverside Garycoyne1@gmail.com Adam Smith in Beijing is Giovanni Arrighi’s attempt to make sense of the rise of China and the fate of the neo-conservative Project for a New American Century, while at the same time speculating about the role of East Asia in the twenty-first century.

Certainly, such skepticism would issue not from the conviction that US global power is invincible, but rather from an evidence-based belief that Arrighi habitually underestimates the extent to which China’s ongoing rise in the world order will be traumatically disrupted by the inevitable wipeout of highly leveraged paper assets on Wall Street (and the City of London, for that matter). keywords: adam; arrighi; beijing; brenner; china; chinese; market; smith; world cache: jwsr-325.pdf plain text: jwsr-325.txt item: #316 of 768 id: jwsr-326 author: Trichur, Ganesh; Sherman, Steven title: Giovanni Arrighi in Beijing date: 2009-08-26 words: 4668 flesch: 35 summary: As the leading agency sustaining the financial expansion and deindustrialization, US power and prestige were temporarily restored through the debt crisis and collapse of the Third World in the 1980s; and through the bankruptcy and disintegration of the USSR in the course of renewed escalation of the arms race.

As an important corrective to the overwhelming emphasis in commodity chain analysis on economic units in the formal economy, Dunaway points out that commodity chains routinely incorporate multiple forms of labor, including non-wage, unfree, and non-compensated work, much of it done by women. keywords: activities; analysis; chain; commodity; commodity chains; cotton; labor; production; states; system; value; world cache: jwsr-574.pdf plain text: jwsr-574.txt item: #533 of 768 id: jwsr-578 author: Bond, Patrick title: Can Climate Activists’ ‘Movement Below’ Transcend Negotiators’ ‘Paralysis Above’? date: 2015-08-31 words: 7160 flesch: 57 summary: One of the lead scholars of global climate justice, John Foran (2015), predicts the Paris COP21 outcome: “we are on course to lock in a genocidally inadequate, woefully underfunded, non-binding set of pledges whose deadlines are laughably too late already.” Understanding the spatio-temporal rhythms of capital accumulation requires a quite different framework to that required to understand global climate change. keywords: august; carbon; change; climate; emissions; global; http://dx.doi.org/10.5195/jwsr.2015.577; journal; justice; jwsr.org; markets; new; paris; research; system; vol; world cache: jwsr-578.pdf plain text: jwsr-578.txt item: #534 of 768 id: jwsr-579 author: Fox, Samantha title: Del Valle Escalante, Emilio. 2009.

The violence of those years, the collapse in support for the Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP), the meteoric rise to power of Sinn Féin, a new sense of meritocracy, a greater sense of democracy and a widespread radicalism; all are seen as elements of a major change in Irish politics and life, a ‘Revolution.’ keywords: british; class; féin; ireland; irish; issue; journal; kostick; nationalism; politics; press; research; revolution; sinn; system; war; world cache: jwsr-602.pdf plain text: jwsr-602.txt item: #555 of 768 id: jwsr-603 author: Murray, Thomas title: Contesting a World-Constitution?

She concludes they were driven by circumstance: the patentees would readily market their surplus “to the extent that opportunity permitted,” selling to neighbors, to local merchants, and in New York City markets (Fabend 1991: 84, 85)—Braudel’s second level of a basic market economy. keywords: century; city; colonial; economic; economy; hudson; issue; journal; kim; land; manor; market; new; new york; press; research; system; tenants; university; valley; vol; world; york cache: jwsr-615.pdf plain text: jwsr-615.txt item: #566 of 768 id: jwsr-616 author: Golash-Boza, Tanya title: The Parallels between Mass Incarceration and Mass Deportation: An Intersectional Analysis of State Repression date: 2016-08-16 words: 11150 flesch: 54 summary: This article explores the global context under which mass deportation has occurred and draws parallels with mass incarceration.

Norfield briefly argues against the notion of ‘financialization’ and then continues to demonstrate how 1) a range of corporations conduct financial operations; 2) the power of the City and Wall Street over the global economy has increased; and, 3) financial markets in general, and those for derivatives in particular, have grown over the past decades. keywords: finance; london; norfield cache: jwsr-779.pdf plain text: jwsr-779.txt item: #664 of 768 id: jwsr-780 author: Taylor, Peter J. title: Review of Global Cities: Urban Environments in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and China date: 2018-03-22 words: 1502 flesch: 51 summary: Couple this with an empirically rich text on two urban environments that are commonly neglected in the scholarship on global cities, and the sum is an outstanding contribution to understanding cities in contemporary globalization.

But elements of the EU model relevant to labor relations and union power, such as the Social Charter, reflect a different model of economic integration, rooted in systems of labor relations that reflect different underlying power balances between labor and capital in the countries – above all, Germany and France – that determine the prevailing approach to economic integration in that region. keywords: auto; ford; globalization; hermosillo; power; rothstein; union; world cache: jwsr-781.pdf plain text: jwsr-781.txt item: #666 of 768 id: jwsr-782 author: Plys, Kristin title: Review of India, Modernity and the Great Divergence: Mysore and Gujarat (17th to 19th C.) date: 2018-03-22 words: 3187 flesch: 41 summary: However, in the absence of a strong theoretical framing of how exactly capitalist modernity is distinct from pre-capitalist political economy, it is hard to assess the evidence Yazdani presents on the political economy of pre-capitalist Mysore and Gujarat.

Focused on two sectors, forestry and apparel manufacture, Bartley provides a cross-country comparison of the implications of transnational rules for the two “fictitious commodities” of land and labor (Polyani 1944: 75–76) in Indonesia and China, and examines how such rules are implemented in the context of domestic governance structures. keywords: bartley; labor; production; regulation; rights; rules cache: jwsr-916.pdf plain text: jwsr-916.txt item: #721 of 768 id: jwsr-917 author: Cunha, Daniel title: Coppering the Industrial Revolution: History, Materiality and Culture in the Making of an Ecological Regime date: 2020-03-02 words: 13520 flesch: 57 summary: Introduction0F Remarks on Method Zooming in: copper in the parts and processes of the world-economy Copper in the Seas: War and Transportation Sugar and Copper: All of them depended on copper, culminating in the development of copper printing of textiles and copper sheathing with the aid of the associated innovation of copper bolts. keywords: british; copper; doi; economy; engine; england; history; industrial; issue; journal; jwsr.2020.917; jwsr.pitt.edu; method; production; research; revolution; steam; sugar; system; trade; university; use; world cache: jwsr-917.pdf plain text: jwsr-917.txt item: #722 of 768 id: jwsr-919 author: Manski, Ben; Smith, Jackie title: Introduction: The Dynamics and Terrains of Local Democracy and Corporate Power in the 21st Century date: 2019-03-25 words: 3852 flesch: 46 summary: Overall, the primary question operative on this terrain is that of how local communities can scale up and build federated power as a counter to global corporate power?

David Konstan, in “Mass Exterminations and the History of Emotions: The View from Classical Antiquity,” shows the combination of emotions and purposive or instrumentally rational and irrational motives that animated Greco-Roman imperialism, including Julius Caesar’s delight in his decade-long campaign against Gaul, in which over a million were slain, perhaps a quarter of the population, not to mention those enslaved. keywords: emotions; journal; lang; mass; system; work; world cache: jwsr-938.pdf plain text: jwsr-938.txt item: #734 of 768 id: jwsr-941 author: Robinson, William I. title: Dialogue: Race in the Capitalist World-System, Review of Hanchard's The Spectre of Race date: 2019-09-03 words: 3724 flesch: 42 summary: He discusses the limitations of the polyarchic conception but having defined democracy simply as political participation, he must embrace it to analyze race and political inequality, so that democracy and political exclusion, far from being oxymoronic, exist alongside and reproduce one another.

As for social movements that retained much of their strength in the Global South, the main potential site to regularly unify their politics was the World Social Forum (WSF), established in 2001 by Brazilian and French social democrats as a direct competition to Davos. keywords: africa; amin; anti; bond; global; international; journal; left; movements; new; research; social; south; systems; vol; world cache: jwsr-948.pdf plain text: jwsr-948.txt item: #741 of 768 id: jwsr-949 author: Juego, Bonn title: Rethinking Samir Amin’s Legacy and the Case for a Political Organization of the Global Justice Movement date: 2019-09-03 words: 4542 flesch: 31 summary: The pluralist composition of the WSF, alongside other characteristics of new social movements, is a real eye- opener for contemporary left politics.

Today, the dominant tendency is to explain these divergent trends as an outcome of a switch from vertical to horizontal organizational structures in social movements (Sitrin 2012; Mason 2013). keywords: century; communist; global; international; marx; mass; movements; new; research; revolution; revolutionary; systems; world cache: jwsr-951.pdf plain text: jwsr-951.txt item: #744 of 768 id: jwsr-952 author: Mestrum, Francine title: Needed: A New International for a Just Transition and Against Fascism date: 2019-09-03 words: 3553 flesch: 56 summary: We have no socialist models to follow and social movements of the recent past have not been very successful.

Writing on neoliberalism in Latin America, Emir Sader (2017) is critical of the emphasis on “the social” at the expense of “the political”, and the way the WSF took up this stance to keep the forum exclusive to “civil society” and social movements while closed to political parties. keywords: amin; global; international; journal; movements; new; research; right; samir; social; world cache: jwsr-953.pdf plain text: jwsr-953.txt item: #746 of 768 id: jwsr-954 author: Robinson, William I. title: Capital has an Internationale and it is Going Fascist: Time for an International of the Global Popular Classes date: 2019-09-03 words: 3800 flesch: 38 summary: We should be clear that, despite nationalist and populist rhetoric, the forces of 21st century fascism do not constitute a departure from global capitalism but, to the contrary, their program advances the interests of transnational capital in the face of overaccumulation and stagnation in the global economy, as I have discussed at length elsewhere (see, inter-alia, Robinson 2018, 2014).

More prominently here, he also attacked accusations that those who criticised the EU from the position of national sovereignty were ‘nationalist’ in nature and furthermore suggested that the only left-wing response to the EU from groups within Europe currently available was indeed to retreat back to the level of the nation-state (Amin, 2016). keywords: amin; century; international; luxemburg; new; state; world cache: jwsr-957.pdf plain text: jwsr-957.txt item: #749 of 768 id: jwsr-959 author: Agozino, Biko title: Race-Class-Gender Articulation and the Fifth International date: 2019-09-03 words: 3833 flesch: 24 summary: Conclusion The strategy for a successful International should learn from the First International that organizing locally to oppose oppression globally is the way to go.

These structural reasons pertain to how the categories “society” and “nature” tend to be delineated in modern ontology.1 As Roberts and Grimes note, Stephen Bunker’s (1985) efforts to achieve such nature-society integration were a “lone voice” arguing that the inequalities in world-systems could in part be attributed to unequal exchange of “energy values” between cores and peripheries. keywords: energy; exchange; foster; hornborg; labor; marx; moore; nature; society; system; theory; value; world cache: jwsr-989.pdf plain text: jwsr-989.txt item: #762 of 768 id: jwsr-991 author: Mikuš, Marek title: Review of: Globalization, EU Democracy Assistance and the World Social Forum: Concepts and Practices of Democracy date: 2020-03-10 words: 1686 flesch: 26 summary: Apart from a somewhat formal overview of EU such policies, Chapter 2 considers some of their possible motivations: a “democratic peace” hypothesis, a belief in a link between democracy and economic development, or the EU’s value-based “identity-building”. In Conclusions, Fiedlschuster argues that the WSF has contributed not so much to a democratization of global governance than a democratization of global civil society – by establishing democracy as its fundamental principle and providing space for experimentation with ways of putting such a democratic, civil society- driven internationalism into practice. keywords: democracy; wsf cache: jwsr-991.pdf plain text: jwsr-991.txt item: #763 of 768 id: jwsr-992 author: Edwards, Zophia title: Review of: Globalizing the Caribbean: Political Economy, Social Change, and the Transnational Capitalist Class: by Jeb Sprague. 2019.

Paper ($74.50) date: 2020-03-10 words: 1021 flesch: 32 summary: Drawing on perspectives from the “global capitalism school,” specifically the theory of transnational processes, and critical studies in Caribbean and Latin American political economy, Sprague develops an explanation for the changing dynamics in the era of capitalist globalization in the Caribbean that centers the transnationalization of finance, production, and class relations. Following these works, Sprague maintains that historical capitalist expansion and contemporary transnationalism cannot be de-linked from racialization and gendered social processes, as former colonies in the Caribbean remain home to vast masses of darker- skinned women and men who are superexploited and deeply marginalized in the latest iteration of global capitalism. keywords: caribbean; class cache: jwsr-992.pdf plain text: jwsr-992.txt item: #764 of 768 id: jwsr-994 author: Smith, Jackie; Kamola, Isaac; White, Alexandre; Manning, Patrick title: Editors' Introduction date: 2020-03-10 words: 1360 flesch: 30 summary: ISSN: 1076-156X | Vol. 26 Issue 1 | DOI 10.5195/JWSR.2020.994 | jwsr.pitt.edu Vol. 1 | DOI 10.5195/JWSR.1 http://www.library.pitt.edu/ http://www.pitt.edu/ http://www.library.pitt.edu/articles/digpubtype/index.html http://upress.pitt.edu/ https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-03-03/covid-19-open-science Journal of World-Systems Research | Vol. 26 Issue 1 | Editors’ Introduction jwsr.pitt.edu | DOI 10.5195/JWSR.2020.994 2 At a time of an unprecedented global health emergency, we present in this issue research by Kelly F.

Thus, it is important to recognize that in practice it would be impossible to put states on a continuum of strong to weak environmental states because countries are complex units that have internal conflicts, competing interests, and external constraints that shape a wide variety of environmental protections and destructions which leave states in something that looks more like organized environmental hypocrisy than a unified green state (Brunsson 1989; Weaver 2008; Sommer et al. 2017). keywords: 2012; 2016; analysis; anthropocene; co2; co2 emissions; countries; country; emissions; environmental; governance; income; jorgenson; journal; national; power; research; state; system; world cache: jwsr-998.pdf plain text: jwsr-998.txt item: #768 of 768 id: jwsr-999 author: Go, Chaya title: Disasters are Everyday Like the Weather: Reflections on Violence in the ‘Philippine Anthropocene’ date: 2020-06-19 words: 3273 flesch: 34 summary: | Disasters are Everyday like the Weather 420 jwsr.pitt.edu | DOI10.5195/JWSR.2020.999 of the state.4 The risk of being harmed by arrests, raids, and extrajudicial killings are today distributed unevenly across Philippine civil society particularly those working at the frontlines of disaster response, grassroots organizing, and leading progressive social movements.5 Since serving as a former emergency relief worker at the wake of Haiyan, I have sustained scholarly and activist commitments among colleagues in various civil society organizations in the Philippines to understand how the discourse of disasters and the practices of disaster response can re-center questions of power. keywords: anthropocene; climate; disaster; global; philippines; state; violence; weather; world cache: jwsr-999.pdf plain text: jwsr-999.txt
