Review:
From the Foreword: "Jieli Li has brought a new and key element of conflict theory to the table, illustrated with key examples that lend much credence to the theory. It is a work that anyone working in comparative- historical sociology, world-systems analysis, or macro-level theory in general must read." - Prof Jonathan J. Turner, University of California, Riverside. From a Peer Review: "The book reflects the highest level of skill in comparative historical research and a truly brilliant facility to synthesize and theorize about the data at hand. The work is bound to be read widely and cited often in the US and throughout the world. It is an unusually timely addition to the scholarly literature, and it is bound to succeed in every respect." - Prof. Jay Weinstein, Eastern Michigan University
