American Tianxia
The United States has become the central state of a global world-system. Analogous in structure to China's historical Ming Dynasty tianxia ("all under heaven"), the American Tianxia is centered on the United States but incorporates other countries in proportion to their acceptance of individualistic world-society principles like human rights, democracy, and rule of law. Contrary to declinist narratives, the prominence of the United States in glob…
American Tianxia
After a meteoric rise, China's once inexorable growth has come to a screeching halt. With it ends China's dream of establishing a new tianxia (‘harmonious order’) in Asia with China at its centre. Salvatore Babones provides an up-to-date assessment of China's economic problems and how they are undermining China's challenge to the Western-dominated world order. As China's neighbours and many of its own most talented people look to the United State…

A Structuralist Approach to the Economic Trajectories of Russia and the Countries of East-Central Europe since 1900
I introduce geographical specificity to world-systems concepts of core and periphery to develop a structuralist approach on semiperipheral development in the world-economy. I apply this approach to the historical trajectory of economic growth in Russia and east-central Europe since 1900. I find circumstantial support for Wallerstein's classic assertion that mercantilist semi-withdrawal is a potentially effective development strategy for semiperip…
A structuralist perspective on economic growth in China and India
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine a much‐overlooked aspect of the rise of China: when will it end? Obviously, the Chinese economy will not grow at an annual rate of 10 percent forever. At some point Chinese growth will stabilize. When is of vast importance for the political, economic, and ecological future of the world. Design/methodology/approach Data from the World Development Indicators database are used to benchmark the recent e…

Trade globalization, economic development and the importance of education-as-knowledge
It is widely asserted that globalization puts a premium on knowledge, but in fact there is no empirical correlation across countries between globalization and returns to education. One reason for this discrepancy may be that education is not everywhere coequal with knowledge. In this article the overall contribution of education to income is modelled as the sum of the contributions of two components of education, education-as-knowledge and educat…
Trade globalization and national income inequality - are they related
This article takes a comprehensive approach to examining the empirical relationship between trade globalization and national income inequality. We estimate the relationship between trade globalization on national income inequality for a wide panel of countries for the years 1975, 1985 and 1995, and the periods 1975-85 and 1985-95. We also study four subpanels of developed and developing countries and small- and large-population countries. Across …

Standardized Income Inequality Data for Use in Cross-National Research
This article introduces the first version of a new, standardized data tool that can be used to test models of global income allocation, the Standardized Income Distribution Database (SIDD). It is based on a comprehensive collection of income distribution data compiled by the United Nations University's World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER 2000). International and intertemporal inconsistencies in these data have historical…
