Current World-System and Conflicts
Under the Trump presidency, the United States and China were embroiled in an open trade war that threatened the neoliberal world order. This paper attempts to put forward an explanation of the trade war from a world-systems perspective.

One of the pillars of th…

Periodically, the state deploys the military and the police to clamp down on ASM for destroying…
