Just Released! The World System in Transition: a panoramic view

Just released! The collective work with International Relations reseachers from Brazil, Italy, China and Ecuador. Edited by Charles pennaforte. Free download!

Another element that deserves to be highlighted is the Covid-19 pandemic, which has affected the entire world, impacting relevantly the world economy with long-term real effects that have not already been measured.
