Macht, Herrschaft und die Rolle oppositioneller Akteure im Weltsystem
Protest events in international press coverage: An empirical critique of cross-national conflict databases
The empirical analysis of protest events and other expressions of social conflict is one of the core tasks of the discipline of comparative sociology. The numerous international data sets and empirical country comparisons that rely exclusively on reporting in English-language newspapers such as The New York Times in surveying protest events nevertheless suffer from considerable distortions. Using the example of some 1800 protest events in Argenti…

Nicht nur Wirtschaftsunternehmen organisieren sich global. Auch soziale Bewegungen gehen immer häufiger Koalitionen ein, die weit über einzelne Landesgrenzen und Kulturräume hinausreichen. Damit erhöh

A Brief History of the Future of World Society
Earlier versions of the articles in this issue were presented and discussed atthe international symposium on The Future of World Society, held in June 2004 at the University of Zurich.1 The theme of the symposium implied two assumptions. One, there is in fact a world society, though still very much in formation. And two, as social scientists we are in a position to predict the future of that society with at least some degree of certainty. The ?rs…
Convergence and Divergence in the Contemporary World System: An Introduction
The Double Dividend of Expanding Education for Development
Education has been used in models of both econometricians and sociologists to explain differences in the speed of economic development. This important field of research is, however, theoretically underspecified, and the empirical tests have remained incomplete for they only model the direct effects of education suggested by the human capital school. This article complements this individualistic view by also considering functions of education stre…
Political and economic logic of western european integration: A study of convergence comparing member and non-member states, 1980–98
One of the few cross-national studies, which contrast members of the EU with a comparable set of other countries as benchmark, suggested that membership is beneficial for economic growth and may cause faster economic convergence of less wealthy EU member states. Employing a newly collected data set on inter-state transfers in the EU, we test whether this faster economic convergence is due to access to the Internal Market (proposition of the econ…
Transnationale Konzerne im Weltsystem: Globale Unternehmen, Nationale Wirtschaftspolitik und das Problem Nachholender Entwicklung
Transnational Corporations in World Development Still the Same Harmful Effects in an Increasingly Globalized World Economy
Transnational corporations (TNCs) have reached historically unprecedented weight and power in the world s political economy. Thus, the old question of how these corporations a?ect global development is nowadays more signi?cant than ever. While some scholars claim that corporate globalization will eventually close the worldwide development gap, many others contend that TNC activities lead to insu?cient exploitation of growth potentials within the …
Quantitative Cross-National Analysis as a Research Tool in the Sociology of Developing Countries: A Critical Examination
Quantitative cross-national analysis (CNA) is one of the most frequently used research methods in empirical sociology, particularly in research on developing countries. Its frequent application implies that CNA is a useful instrument that yields trustworthy results. However, numerous criticisms, which call into question the method's legitimacy, can be found in the relevant literature. This article discusses the most important among these criticis…
