"World-system" as a book category groups works that analyze the globe as an interconnected system of economic, political, social, and environmental relationships rather than as isolated nation-states. These books—drawing on world-systems theory, global history, political economy, geography, and interdisciplinary scholarship—examine long-term, large-scale patterns such as core–periphery dynamics, unequal exchange, imperialism, transnational institutions and networks, migration, and the environmental consequences of global integration. They focus on structural forces, comparative and macro-historical perspectives, and the ways local and regional developments are shaped by systemic global processes, making them useful for readers interested in critical, big-picture accounts of globalization, development, and planetary change.
