Trajectories and Causes of Structural Globalization: 1800-2000

这个项目追踪了19世纪和20世纪世界经济和政治体系的变化。总的来说，这些系统已变得更加相似和相互关联，这些变化已导致一些观察员说目前是一个单一的世界系统。该项目将有关投资和政治变化的数据与现有的有关经济发展和国际冲突的数据相结合。第二阶段的工作使用该数据集来检查各种变化是如何相互关联的，以及哪些变化导致了其他变化。一般来说，随着政治统一性的增加，冲突会减少，至少在某些情况下，贸易和经济发展也会随之增加。这个项目有助于理解这些变化以及它们如何相互影响。

SES 0077975PI: Christopher Chase-Dunn This project tracks changes in world economic and political systems in the 19th and 20th centuries. Overall, those systems have become more similar and interrelated, changes that have led some observers to speak of a single world system at present. This project develops data on investment and political change to existing data on economic development and international conflict. The second phase of the work uses that dataset to examine how the various kinds of changes are associated with each other and which ones lead to others. Generally, as political uniformity increases, conflict decreases, and at least in some cases, increasing trade and economic development follows that. This project contributes to understanding these changes and how they affect each other.
