        Globalization and European Integration
Arno Tausch (University of Innsbruck, Austria) and Peter Herrmann
(University of Cork, Ireland)
2001.  423 pages.  ISBN 1-56072-929-5.  $59.


This book is the outcome of empirical research on the development and decay
tendencies of the capitalist world economy since the early 1980s and the
role that Europe will play in these constellations. Over these years the
conclusion was reached that the logic of capitalist world development
changes with the ups and downs of longer Kondratieff cycles, and that
different periods of hegemony and of world political constellations,
connected with these Kondratieff cycles, in turn give rise to different
constellations of world economic ascent and decline. Those that hoped that
world trade and open financial markets would shift incomes in favor of the
poor, must now recognize that - however we look at the figures - there is a
tendency towards rising poverty on a global scale, especially after the
Asian crash of 1997.
