Have a look at:

Samir Amin, Capitalism in the Age of Globalization. London: Zed Books, 1997.
Chapter 1 has a section on "The Present World System and the Five Monopolies
of the Center" (technological, financial, access to natural resources,
media, weapons of mass destruction)

Specifically on hunger, with interesting case material:
E.M.Young, World Hunger. London: Routledge, 1997. Has chapters on
international perspectives on hunger, national perspecives, subnational
perspectives, gendered perspective, conflict perspective.

I assume you may have seen:
C. Chase-Dunn, Global Formation
A.G. Frank, Crisis (2 volumes)
