RESEARCH INTERESTS

- DEVELOPMENT AND UNDERDEVELOPMENT
After moving to Latin America in 1962, research, publications and teaching focused primarily on developing a theory of "dependence and development of underdevelopment." It became known especially through the book Capitalism and Underdevelopment in Latin America [l967], with 40 printings of over 120,000 copies in 9 languages. This work was first extended to include the "Third" and "Second" ["Socialist"] World elsewhere and then to encompass the historical and contemporary process of capital accumulation and the structure of the world economy and system as a whole. The main resulting publications, World Accumulation 1492- 1789 and Dependent Accumulation and Underdevelopment [1978], were written in Chile before the 1973 military coup.

- CONTEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ECONOMY
After then moving to Europe, for the next two decades work concentrated on contemporary international political economy and the present world economic crisis of capital accumulation. Its first identification in lectures and pub- lications in 1972 and 1973 predicted that the economic crisis would be world- wide, that it would increasingly integrate the "socialist" economies, and that export promotion would be widely imposed and enforced in the Third World through military coups and other forms of political repression. The 1973-75 recession was analyzed as no "oil shock," but as one in a series of successive and ever deeper recessions in this ongoing world economic crisis. Several articles argued how that crisis would oblige "policy" makers North and South, West and East, first to replace post war expansive Keynesian polices with monetarist ones of "stabilization." and then to lose control over the world -- and a forteriori over any "national" -- economy altogether. These lectures and articles appeared in Reflections on the World Economic Crisis [1981] and in the related books Crisis: In the World Economy and Crisis: In the Third World [1980/81]. Work on the economic and debt crisis con- tinued through the 1980s and forecast the formation of US-European-Japanese economic blocs and a still more severe next recession with titles like "Is the Reagan Recovery Real or the Calm Before the Storm?" [1986], "Perils of Economic Ramboism," and "Illusions of Recovery and Threats of Deflation and Depression in the World Economy"[1987]. Related topics:
World Economic and Financial Crisis; Policy Options for Europe; Rela- tions among US-Europe-Japan, East-West Europe, North-South; Third World Debt; Development Theory and Dependence; Gulf War & New World Order; Russia & East Europe


- EX-SOVIET AND SOCIALIST STUDIES [SE]
Organization of Economic Activity in the Soviet Union [1957],
General Productivity Soviet Agriculture & Industry:Ukraine 1958. The analy- sis of the world economic crisis was also extended to the "socialist" economies that had already been examined under the title "Long Live Transideological Enterprise! The Socialist Countries in the International Division of Labor" [1976]. The theme was extended in The European Challenge [1983]. It argued that, all ideology notwithstanding, Pan- European union is possible and desireable, though the East would necessarily be dependent on the West. In 1989 still before the Berlin Wall came down, this analysis was applied to the desireability of the European Union's exten- sion eastward in connection with its programmed deepening in 1992. The renewed and once again deeper and wider world economic recession since 1989 occasioned analysis and prevision of its dire consquences for the European East, specifically including Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, whose breakup was predicted in 1991 and published [1990-94] by UNESCO as "World Economic Interpretation of Politics in East and West Europe," and elsewhere as "A World Economic Interpretation of What Went Wrong in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe," "Revolution in Eastern Europe: Lessons for Democratic Social Movements (and for Socialists?)" etc.


- SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND CIVIL SOCIETY [SM]
Social movements and their cycles over the past two centuries were also examined with Marta Fuentes in several "theses" on womens, environmental, peace, peasant and other movements in the West, East and South in "Civil Democracy: Social Movements in Recent World History" in Transforming the Revolution written with Amin, Arrighi and Wallerstein [1990], and in studies of the Gulf War.

Related topics: Historical & Contemporary in West,East Europe,Third World; Relations to state, democracy and development; cycles in social movements.


- FIVE HUNDRED YEAR WORLD SYSTEM HISTORY
East and West: Global Economy in the Asian Age [forthcoming]:
This book outlines and analyzes the global economy and its sectoral and regional division of labor and cyclical dynamic from 1400 to 1800. The evi- dence and argument are that within this global economy Asians and particu- larly Chinese were preponderant, no more "traditional" than Europeans, and in fact largely far less so. Moreover, the Europeans did not do anything - let alone "modernize" - by themselves. That contention turns the tables on the last two centuries of historiography and social science, and indeed also of the humanities a la "the East is East, and the West is West, and never the twain shall meet." They DID meet, albeit not at all on the alleged European terms, and the question is WHY?

The book builds up, chapter by chapter, the global scaffolding that will permit the construction of at least preliminary answers derived from the structure and dynamic of the world economy as a whole. Chapter 2 outlines the productive division of labor and the multilateral trade framework, as well as the sectoral and regional inter-connections within the global economy. Chapter 3 signals how American and Japanese money went around the world circulatory system and provided the life blood that made the world go round. Chapter 4 examines the resulting world population, productive,income and trade quantities, the related technological qualities and institutional mechanisms, as well as how several regions in Asia maintained and even increased their global preponderance therein. Chapters 5 and 6 propose a global marcohistory that treats the Decline of the East and the Rise of the West as related and successive processes within and generated by the global world economic structure and dynamic. Chapter 6 inquires how Asia's world economic advantage between 1400 and 1800 turned to its disadvantage and to the [temporary] advantage of the West to face the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. World-encompassing macro- and micro-economic analysis is used to account for The Rise of the West in global instead of the received Eurocentric terms.

The introductory Chapter 1 suggests that received historiography and social theory fall seriously short of what we need. Marx and Weber or Parsons and Rostow and their many disciples are far and away too Eurocentric, and Braudel and Wallerstein also are still not nearly holistic enough. None of them is able, or even willing, to address the global problematique, whose whole is more than the sum or its parts. Chapter 7 then builds on the historical evidence and argument of this book to derive theoretical conclusions about how to analyze this global whole. Only a globally holistic analysis can permit a better, indeed any even minimally satisfactory, comprehension of how the whole world economic structure and dynamic shape and differentiate its sectoral and regional parts East and West, North and South. Recourse to a more holistic global historiography and social theory suggests how Asian, and particularly Chinese, predominance in the world economy through the eighteenth century may presage its return to dominance also in the twenty first century.

FIVE THOUSAND YEAR WORLD SYSTEM HISTORY
The concern with the last 500 years of "capitalist" world economic development since 1500 has also been extended backwards to study the past 5,000 years -- and to search out this longer perspective's implications for modern world history and alternative social theory. Several articles from the early 90s are included in The World System: Five Hunderd Years or Five Thousand? edited with Barry K. Gills [1993]. They pose a humanocentric challenge to Eurocentrism, which argues that the contemporary world system has a long history in which the rise to dominance of Europe and the West are only recent - and perhaps passing - events. The main theoretical categories are: 1. The world system itself, its structure, process and transformation. 2. Capital accumulation as the motor force of [world system] history. 3. Center-periphery relations in the world, which however are not necessarily system-wide. 4. Periodic alternation between regional hegemonies and succession rivalries, although world system-wide hegemony appears rare or inexistent. 5. Long [and short] economic cycles of alternating ascending ["A"] phases and descending ["B"] phases in world system-wide economic growth and the other abovementioned features, and their "regional" impact in Central Asia, Latin America, and Europe. This work includes the identification and dating of 500 year long world system wide political economic and also ecological cycles from 3000 BC to the 1750 AD, whose existence and dating others have largely confirmed by others using city size data in 3 independent tests. Accumulation, core/periphery, hegemony/rivalry & long cycles in Afro- Eur-Asian world system & Central Asia since 3000 BC; Bronze Age World System Cycles; 1492 and Latin America in long world system history perspective; modern world history; theoretical and policy implications for present & future.

AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT

This book outlines and analyzes the global economy and its sectoral and regional division of labor and cyclical dynamic from 1400 to 1800. The evidence and argument are that within this global economy Asians and particularly Chinese were preponderant, no more "traditional" than Europeans, and in fact largely far less so. Moreover, the Europeans did not do anything - let alone "modernize" - by themselves. That contention turns the tables on the last two centuries of historiography and social science, and indeed also of the humanities a la "the East is East, and the West is West, and never the twain shall meet." They DID meet, albeit not at all on the alleged European terms, and the question is WHY? The book builds up, chapter by chapter, the global scaffolding that will permit the construction of at least preliminary answers derived from the structure and dynamic of the world economy as a whole. Chapter 2 outlines the productive division of labor and the multilateral trade framework, as well as the sectoral and regional inter-connections within the global economy. Chapter 3 signals how American and Japanese money went around the world circulatory system and provided the life blood that made the world go round. Chapter 4 examines the resulting world population, productive,income and trade quantities, the related technological qualities and institutional mechanisms, as well as how several regions in Asia maintained and even increased their global preponderance therein. Chapters 5 and 6 propose a global marcohistory that treats the Decline of the East and the Rise of the West as related and successive processes within and generated by the global world economic structure and dynamic. Chapter 6 inquires how Asia's world economic advantage between 1400 and 1800 turned to its disadvantage and to the [temporary] advantage of the West to face the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. World-encompassing macro- and micro-economic analysis is used to account for The Rise of the West in global instead of the received Eurocentric terms. The introductory Chapter 1 suggests that received historiography and social theory fall seriously short of what we need. Marx and Weber or Parsons and Rostow and their many disciples are far and away too Eurocentric, and Braudel and Wallerstein also are still not nearly holistic enough. None of them is able, or even willing, to address the global problematique, whose whole is more than the sum or its parts. Chapter 7 then builds on the historical evidence and argument of this book to derive theoretical conclusions about how to analyze this global whole. Only a globally holistic analysis can permit a better, indeed any even minimally satisfactory, comprehension of how the whole world economic structure and dynamic shape and differentiate its sectoral and regional parts East and West, North and South. Recourse to a more holistic global historiography and social theory suggests how Asian, and particularly Chinese, predominance in the world economy through the eighteenth century presages its return to dominance also in the twenty-first century.

A work of highest intellectual, social and moral importance. Specialists will welcome the forcefulness, verve, and coherence of Frank's BIG PICTURE. Much of it will be completely new to many other historians and social scientists who will have to change their views and rewrite their lectures after they read it. Would have a major impact [1]. This is a stimulating and exiting book written in a style to challenge received wisdom. This book breaks new ground with an historiographic self- consciousness that should make it accessible to readers who will nevertheless find the major theses a basic challenge to their assumptions and understandings of early modern world history. The great virtue of this book is its relentless push to redefine our framework for thinking about the early modern economy. At this large task I believe the author has succeeded. I believe this book could become a benchmark study [2]. This can be a landmark book that not only arouses powerful controversy but shapes substantially the scholarship and understanding of the next generation of researchers. It should have an immediate impact [3]. The book is clearly written and understandable. The scholarship is superior. The greatness of this book is that it touches a number of intellectual nerves [with] an important thesis that will generate much discussion and intellectual debate because it forces a rethinking. Will command a very general audience. There is no directly competing book [4]. Compelling argument against Eurocentrism, for holistic theory/"globology" to understand the whole world. Forces us to turn the telescope of world history around to see that the focus was, and is Asia NOT Europe [5]. This will be an extremely important book of sufficient originality and importance ... at the intersection of several iportant literatures [to] have a major impact. It could not be more ambitious [6]. Impressive breadth of scholarship. Succeeds in its overall argument. Persuasive, approaching CONVINCING. Conclusion is IMPORTANT [7]. A very provocative read. A fair competitor with Francis Fukuyama's THE END OF HISTORY [8]. This is a bold new interpretation that ... creates a distinctive argument to explain Europe's post-1800 successes. The author places his argument in an even longer-run perspective to suggest that Europe's 'rise' may be just a temporary one bracketed on either side by eras of Asian dominance. It departs from virtually all other 'global' or 'world' system perspectives by arguing that Europe was not the central location of economic dynamism in the early modern world (1400-1800) and therefore that 'capitalism' was not a unique cultural phenomenon that can explain the differential economic success of Europe over Asia. The author redefines our baseline for assessing the 'rise' of Europe [2]. The book is a plea for global studies as a general historical proposition. What is most impressive to this reader is where you succeed in bringing to bear ample data to demonstrate the logic of world economy processes. You are probably correct in essentials on many of the boldest hypotheses, and notably the global framing of the economy, on the argument of the centrality of Asia for the period 1400-1800, and on the rejection of the entire Eurocentric analysis of incorporation, 1500 and all that [3]. It aims, first, to provide a new account of the rise of Western Europe in which the actions and institutions of Europe itself become far less important than forces that operated at the global level, and were largely a product of developments that began in East and South Asia circa 1400, and were then accelerated by the rush of New World silver after 1500. It was this silver alone that enabled Europeans to move from a very marginal position in the world economy to a significant one, and later to a (temporarily) dominant one. Then, as if these claims were not enough, the book moves to argue that almost all received social theory is wrong, since it a) directs our attention to supposedly unique features of European society that were actually neither very unusual nor of much importance in explaining the divergent development paths, and b) directs our attention away from [these and to] attempting analysis at the global level, which the author claims is by far the most illuminating place to look for explanations of what may at first seem like regional differences [6]. No other work both provides the exhaustive documentation and the theoretical clarity and conviction of thesis. You get the feel of the interconnectedness of the world in a way ... not felt before and the reminder that according to all received theory this is not supposed to be so. That is the power of this book. Frank gained his world wide fame by making an argument that caused a revolution in thinking about Third World Development. Well, the same thing is about to happen again, except this time the stakes are much higher. Now it is the theories of the endogenous nature of change in the West that is being challenged. The Wallersteinian world economy did not give rise to the world-system, Frank argues, but the Afroeurasian world system gave rise to the European world economy. To correct the historical fact is to challenge the theoretical scaffolding of everyone from Marx to Weber to Braudel to Wallerstein. Frank's point is that they simply got it wrong. [He] turns on their heads many of the received assumptions about the origin of the modern world system/economy. The book is that conceptually important [5].
