Immanuel Wallerstein’s highly influential, multi-volume opus, The Modern World-System, is one of this century’s greatest works of social science. An innovative, panoramic reinterpretation of global history, it traces the emergence and development of the modern world from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. This new volume encompasses the nineteenth century from the revolutionary era of 1789 to the First World War. In this crucial period, three great ideologies—conservatism, liberalism, and radicalism—emerged in response to the worldwide cultural transformation that came about when the French Revolution legitimized the sovereignty of the people. Wallerstein tells how capitalists, and Great Britain, brought relative order to the world and how liberalism triumphed as the dominant ideology.

From the Inside Flap
“Wallerstein is a pleasure to read for his lucid organization of vast materials and his eye for the telling detail. Following a more narrative method than earlier volumes, Volume IV of The Modern World-System is full of clever and surprising turns of interpretation of what might seem the well-worn territory of nineteenth-century ideologies, politics, and movements. Wallerstein shows himself a graceful and accomplished historian as well as grand theoretician of the historical social sciences. This installment also includes the best analytical overview of Wallerstein’s entire multi-volume project.”
—Randall Collins, Dorothy Swaine Thomas Professor of Sociology, University of Pennsylvania
“This is an exciting and significant work, at once an important account of how centrist liberalism came to dominate political ideology worldwide and a vital contribution to world-system analysis, one of the truly major innovations in the last fifty years of social science. Here its most important innovator carries forward the project he launched in 1974 not only chronologically but conceptually, advancing the idea of a ‘global geoculture’ and deepening understanding of the relationship among political, cultural, and economic dimensions of the world-system.”
—Craig Calhoun, President, Social Science Research Council

A strong State(ment)
By Luc REYNAERT
This brilliant `ideological' analysis of the history of `The Modern World System' from 1789 to 1914 (Part IV) is certainly far less controversial than I. Wallerstein's Part III about the Industrial Revolution (for him, only `a cyclical upward increase in the mechanization of industrial production').
Part IV is based on the ideas generated by and on the main issues fought for during two crucial events.
The French Revolution and the Revolution of 1848
The French Revolution legitimated the concept of political change and the idea that sovereignty lay with the people. The Revolution of 1848 centered on exclusion from the benefits of citizenship and showed two separate ways to deal with exclusion: more rights within the nation (the social revolution) and the exclusion of ethno-groups (the national revolution).
Mega-strategies and the State
After the French Revolution the fundamental political problem became how to reconcile the concept of popular sovereignty with the aim of the powerful to keep their privileges. To solve this problem three mega-strategies (ideologies) were created. Conservatism wanted to reverse (or limit the damage) the acquisitions of the French Revolution. Liberalism believed in reformism. Socialism wanted to accelerate political and social progress through full participation of all segments of society.
All three ideologies considered (control of) the State (power) as a crucial means to attain their ends. Even the die-hard liberals saw a strong State as the only sure guarantor of individualism.
Centrist Liberalism Triumphant (till today)
For the author, centrist liberalism tamed the other ideologies by stimulating (but limiting the impact of) anti-systemic movements (the concept of citizenship) and by inventing a superstructure, the historical social sciences (economics, sociology, political science), in order to define, explain (or cloak) and support its policies and to educate (control) the masses.
Liberalism created the liberal State in the core zone of the world economy. One pillar of this State ended in universal suffrage and the extension of civil rights to all citizens. The other pillar was taming the dangerous classes through the protection of the economically and socially weak by giving them a small part of the economic pie.
For the creation of a `strong' State historians were charged to `discover' the history of the State so that its population could identify itself strongly with the `nation'.
The liberals achieved in the mid19s an upswing of the world economy and a rather steady worldwide progress until today (a strong market, a strong State and a strong interstate system).
Immanuel Wallerstein's rather short thesis (supported by a mega-bibliography) constitutes a giant effort to explain in a crystal clear nutshell the dominant motives behind an at first sight very complex reality. Who takes up the gauntlet?
This book is a must read for all those who want to understand the world we live in.

Required Reading for People into Intelligent Historical Writing
By J. Lewis
This is the fourth and most recent volume in Wallerstein's analysis of what he calls "the modern world system" and what since the 1990s has been called "globalization" in popular discourse. Focusing on the European 19th century, it situates that history in a larger global history evolving since the late 15th century, when the Portuguese and Spanish overseas conquests of that era began constructing the modern world system referenced in the titles of Wallerstein series; a system that centered around particular regions of western Europe. This fourth volume focuses on the consolidation of this globalization around the ideology and practices of classical Liberalism and its political economy, laissez-faire capitalism. Wallerstein correctly emphasizes the centrality of an Anglo-French axis in the aftermath of the French Revolution as the key element in this stage of "globalization," with the British being the dominant partner. He also discusses with great detail and nuance the double-edged swords of cultural and ideological constructs that sustained this hegemony such as Romanticism, nationalism and classical Liberal ideology (what here in the United States might be called rightist libertarianism these days). Wallerstein's discussion of how and why particular regions of northwest Europe became the model of "the West" that did not include regions to the east (Poland. Russia) is another particularly interesting aspect of this book.
What's most refreshing and intellectually novel in Wallerstein's work is, paradoxically, its old-fashioned rigor and presentation. In an era in which much academic writing is dominated by codified language drawn from the dubious theoretical models from post-modernist, feminist, and other intellectual fashions of doubtful value and little clarity, Wallerstein's text is clear, rigorous and grounded in a breath-taking grasp of the historical literature dating from the 19th century to the present. While Wallerstein is a prominent academic with a well-establish reputation that even his critics must take seriously, this volume is entirely accessible to the general educated public who is not in the least familiar with or interested in the precious academic "discourses" that dominates so many academic "spaces" these days, but would be interested in an analysis of exactly how what we today call globalization came into being in an intellectually serious and clear manner. Wallerstein's discussion here of the 19th century is one of the best possible places to get it.

Informing
By Bradley Farless
This isn't my usual area of study in history. That being said, I found the writing style to be clear and persuasive and it's certainly informing. Without having been exposed to other streams of thought regarding the subject, though, I can't speak on the strength of the arguments.
