Employing a world-historical and comparative perspective, the 14 contributions brought together in this volume deal with three core issues of global structures and dynamics : Firstly, the degree of stability and change of global hierarchical structures and economic and social inequalities ; secondly, the transformation of global and national political structures ; and, thirdly, global ecological change and its impact on the structures of the world-economy, the world polity and the world society.
