The closing years of the 20th century will be remembered as a time of tumultuous change. The various essays are attempts to understand the changes and ground them in the context of the logic of the contemporary world-system. The essays are divided into two main themes: structural transformations and regional ramifications of global transformations. East Asia, the Pacific Rim, European periphery, and the Middle East are all examined to determine if fundamental changes are occuring. Scholars and upper level and graduate students of economic history, developmental economics, regional economics, international economics, and political economy will find provocative contrasts and insights in this collection of essays, presented at the 18th annual Political Economy of the World-System Conference.

Review
?The essays are congent and highly readable. They all examine varied aspects of the process of engagement between economic structures and peripheral centers of power, and its myriad consequences in both the short term and the long run....recommended for those who seek a bird's eye view of emerging global transformations in the late twentieth century.?-Journal of Developing Areas
