本文试图恢复和操作化的概念，研究世界资本主义扩张及其结构性趋势对环境退化的边界。世界体系分析家们对世界经济扩张的方式给予了相当大的关注。这项工作的大部分已经交给长波的研究，生产单位的重组，国家的形成，和其他重要的过程。生态维度虽然不时得到承认，但一直没有得到重视。我将追溯甘蔗生产和贸易的发展和扩张，以说明环境动力学作为反思近代早期资本主义扩张历史的一种方式的中心地位。食糖生产和贸易的历史是众所周知的。尽管有大量的文献，但是，糖的环境历史没有得到应有的关注，生态转型与世界资本主义扩张逻辑之间的联系也没有得到应有的关注。我的目标是提出重新思考早期现代资本主义扩张的方法，
article attempts to restore and operationalize the concept of the frontier for the study of world capitalist expansion and its structural tendency towards environmental degradation. World-sys- tems analysts have paid considerable attention to the ways in which the world-economy expands. The bulk of this work has been given over to the study of long waves, the reorganization of production units, state-formation, and other important processes. The ecological dimension, though acknowledged from time to time, has been un- deremphasized. I will trace the development and expansion of sugar cane production and trade in order to illustrate the centrality of en- vironmental dynamics as a way of rethinking the early modern history of capitalist expansion. The history of sugar production and trade is well-known. Despite the existence of a vast literature, how- ever, the environmental history of sugar has not been given the attention it deserves, nor has the link between ecological transforma- tion and the expansionary logic of world capitalism. My goal is to suggest ways of rethinking early modern capitalist expansion as a
