Dear wsn list members,
Although, or perhaps because, I am fairly new to
this email list, I would like to ask for a clarification of the purpose of this
list. As I am about to begin my PhD studies in human ecology this autumn where
my dissertation will be an effort to quantitatively integrate world system
analysis with traditional and modern economic geography, I am of course very
much interested in the current debates and discussions concerning world system
analysis and analytical perspectives of the world from a 'Wallersteinian'
viewpoint.
I found this purpose at csf:
"WSN is an electronic conferencing network and
information source for scholars and researchers who are studying world-systems.
The purpose of WSN is to facilitate the sharing of information about
research, data, publications, announcements, meetings, syllabi, commentary, book
reviews, scuttlebut and etc. " (http://csf.colorado.edu/wsystems/)
Based on this statement of purpose, I must ask
whether posts rallying for anti-globalisation belongs here, posts implictly
taking for granted that there is a shared belief that analytical,
academical/scientific interest in world system perspectives also entails a
massive interest for normative action against this vaguely undefined
"globalisation" taking place. Or will world
system analysis, dependency theory and "meta-macroeconomics" once again only be
remembered as a part of an angry youth movement in the late 90's early
00's?
Yours,
Carl Nordlund
