Damian, Debra Strassfogel has written extensively on this topic: Straussfogel, Debra. 1997. "World-Systems Theory: Toward A Heuristic and Pedagogic Conceptual Tool." Economic Geography 73:1(Jan.):118-130. _____. 1997. "A Systems Perspective on World-Systems Theory." Journal of Geography 96:2(Sept/Oct):119-126. _____. 1997. "Redefining Development as Humane and Sustainable." Annals of the Association of American Geographers 87:2(June):280-305. _____. 1998. . "How Many World-Systems? A Contribution to the Continuationist/Transformationist Debate." Review 21:1(Winter):1-28. Straussfogel, Debra. 2000. "World-Systems Theory in the Context of Systems Theory: An Overview." Pp. 169-180 A World-Systems Reader: New Pespectives on Gender, Urbanism, Cultures, Indigenous Peoples, and Ecology edited by Thomas D. Hall. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield. The 1998 paper is the most detailed in exploring complexity, the 2000 chapter has loads of references. My paper with Chris Chase-Dunn has some comments on complexity models about world-system change: Chase-Dunn, Christopher and _____,. 2000. "Comparing World-systems to Explain Social Evolution." Pp. 86-111 in World System History: The Social Science of Long-Term Change, edited by Robert Denemark, Jonathan Friedman, Barry K. Gills, and George Modelski. London: Routledge. These should be of some help, especially Straussfogel. tom Thomas D.
