Tehranian begins by tracing the evolution of the world system from its agrarian origins into today's post-industrial, information-based "pancapitalism". He then draws out the implications of that evolution for global systems of domination, development, and discourse in the context of fragmentation. A study of the complexities of relations between the Islamic and Western worlds demonstrates how systemic distortions in cross-cultural communication have led to tragedies in world politics. The concluding chapter, addressing the pathology of physical and cultural violence, reflects on the possibility of transforming existing conflicts into creative tensions based on the acknowledgement of differences.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USAuthor: Majid TehranianGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Law & PoliticsType: TextbookRelease Year: 1999 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
