You might want to get in touch with Professor Betty Dobratz at Iowa State
University.  In the past she has taught a graduate-level course on social
stratification (open to qualified undergrads) that had some material that
should be useful to you.  I don't know if she still teaches the course or
not, but if not, she could point you to the person who teaches it now.

Her contact details are the following:

Betty A. Dobratz
Associate Professor
218 East Hall
Iowa State University
Ames IA 50011

(515) 294-2033
FAX: (515) 294-2303

Email:  bdobratz@iastate.edu 


A couple of other sources that might be useful:

The Gap between rich and poor : contending perspectives on the political
economy of development, edited by Mitchell A. Seligson
Boulder: Westview Press, 1984.

This book is a reader of golden oldies on the subject of global
inequality--possibly a bit dated now.  Could still be useful in exposing
students to some of the basic contending perspectives and classic articles.

Other possibilities:

Sociology of the global system / Leslie Sklair
Baltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995.

The spiral of capitalism and socialism: toward global democracy / Terry
Boswell, Christopher Chase-Dunn.  Boulder, Colo.: Lynne Rienner Publishers,
2000.
