    RECONSIDERING THE EAST ASIAN PEACE
    THOMPSON, WILLIAM R.
    This volume re-examines the notion of the East Asian peace, arguing that it requires updating for the current and near-future context of US-Chinese rivalry. The “East Asian peace” refers to the remarkable change in conflict levels in eastern Eurasia over the past 80 years or even the past 130 years or so. Prior to the late 1970s, East Asia was regarded as the most conflictual r...

    PULLING BACK THE CURTAIN ON QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
    WILLIAM THOMPSON / MICA THOMPSON
    In Pulling Back the Curtain on Qualitative Research, the authors maintain that for sociologists the entire world is a laboratory. Seldom do they attend social gatherings without observing people and their interaction in a systematic and intellectually curious way. Regular trips to the grocery store, church services, and engagement with social media all open the door to sociolog...

    SACRED COWS AND HOT POTATOES
    WILLIAM P. BROWNE / JERRY R SKEES / LOUIS E SWANSON / PAUL THOMPSON

    LIMITS TO GLOBALIZATION
    WILLIAM R. THOMPSON / RAFAEL REUVENY
    In the post-Cold War era, economic globalization has loomed, at least for some, as the world system's next crisis carrier, creating winners and losers and trampling on the distinctiveness of local cultures. Yet the liberal assumption is that if the market does its job, the poor will catch up to the rich via trade-driven growth and the economies of developed and less developed c...

    China’s rising status in the global economy alongside recent economic stagnation in Europe and the United States has led to considerable speculation that we are in the early stages of a transition in power relations. Commentators have tended to treat this transitional period as a novelty, but history is in fact replete with such systemic transitions—sometimes with perilous resu...
