The authors argue that inter-societal systems have existed since the beginning of human societies and the dynamics of these systems are a fundamental property of the social universe. However, while world-systems analysis has emphasized this latter point, the authors argue the reluctance to theorize complex abstract models and systems of explanatory propositions on the dynamics driving inter-societal systems hinders scientific explanation of inter-societal dynamics. In this context, the authors critically look at contemporary theorizing and review key theories that have been developed to explain geo-economic, geo-political, and geo-cultural dynamics, from the classic period through present-day world-systems analysis and cliometrics. The book summarizes these theories clearly, emphasizing their strengths and weakness, finally developing a theoretical synthesis through new models and propositions on the dynamics of premodern and modern inter-societal systems. Professor Turners decades of experience writing theory books for undergraduates have ensured that this book presents abstract ideas clearly and with examples so that students can understand the arguments. This book is a must-read for all social theory researchers, academics, serious undergraduate students, graduate students, and interested laypersons. 001461333 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 14, 2023). 001461333 650_0 $$aSociology. 001461333 650_0 $$aSocial structure. 001461333 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001461333 7001_ $$aRoberts, Anthony J. 001461333 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTurner, Jonathan H.$$tInter-Societal Dynamics$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023$$z9783031124471 001461333 830_0 $$aEmerging globalities and civilizational perspectives. 001461333 852__ $$bebk 001461333 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-12448-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001461333 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1461333$$pGLOBAL_SET 001461333 980__ $$aBIB 001461333 980__ $$aEBOOK 001461333 982__ $$aEbook 001461333 983__ $$aOnline 001461333 994__ $$a92$$bISE
