We would like to invite you to Christopher Chase-Dunn's talk entitled
'The World Revolution of 20XX' at 1 pm this Friday, 1st May, for our
Radical Political Thought 4th Annual May Day event, in Room 103 Crescent
House, Salford University.
Our speaker holds the title of Distinguished Professor of Sociology and
Director of the Institute for Research on World-Systems at the
University of California-Riverside.
Professor Chase-Dunn has done crossnational quantitative studies on the
effects of dependence on foreign investment, and he studies cities and
settlement systems. His recent research focuses on intersocietal
systems, including both the modern global political economy and earlier
regional world-systems. One project examines the causes of polity
expansion and settlement growth (and decline) in several regional
world-systems as well as the contemporary process of global state
formation.
Chris is the founder and former editor of the electronic Journal of
World-Systems Research and the Series Editor of two book series
published by the Johns Hopkins University Press.
World Systems was originally a radical Marxist movement coming out of
1960s-70s responses in South America to expansive global capitalism, and
related ideas have been very influential, for example, on Hugo Chavez's
policy.
Hope to see you here.
