Associated-dependent development and accelerated industrialisation at periphery of the world system. Pretensions of the developing countries and response of the West. Neoliberalism, market renaissance and their non-market foundation. From the Leftist idea of social equity towards the Rightist principle of elitism. Neoconservative wave: post-capitalism under capitalist slogans? The new technological revolution and globalisation. Counter-revolution as a form of progress?
Two models of information society as two models of globalisation: expansion of innovations and creative activity versus optimisation of resources allocation and financial flows. The growth of financial bubble. The global slowdown of productivity growth: what does it mean? The rise of new configuration of the world system. The North in the South and zones of the South in the North. Globalisation as decline of modern epoch? The end of the Second World (the collapse of communism and paradoxes of History). Implications of the Soviet experience for the XXI century players: "optimisation" and "distributivism" as causes of the collapse. Structural adjustment and restoration of archaic social life. The main agents of development in the XXI century. Prospects of the global turmoil. A search for alternative models.

The rise of the world system: a concept and origins. Two approaches to the study of history: stages (formations of society) and civilisations. Three macroformations of society. The secondary macroformation of society as the economic formation and diversity of civilisations. East and West: two kinds of personality and economic dynamics in the long-term period. A puzzle of capitalism's origin - a key to the world-system's approach (a uniqueness of capitalism). Revolutionary character of the western societies. The sources and rise of modern epoch. Culture of modernity. The mid-millennium: an expansion of the West and stagnation of the East. Traditional and modern society. Modernisations as modernity in action (Alain Touraine). Endogenous and exogenous modernisations. Three echelons of capitalist development and a division of the world system into core (centre), periphery and semi-periphery. The conceptions of Immanuel Wallerstein and Fernand Braudel. Pre-industrial, early-industrial and late-industrial modernisations in the centre of the world system; its particular features. Social agents and conflicts in the process of modernisation. The theory of big cycles (Kondratiev and Schumpeter) and the social-technological stages of modernisation. Big cycles and the world hegemony.
The industrial revolution and colonialism. Objective limits to the capitalist expansion in the XIX century (Karl Marx and illusions of modernity; Max Weber and decline of the XIX century capitalism). Capital-property and capital-function: domination of the latter. Claude Monet and Henry Ford: revolutions in paintings and technologies. The rise of new social strata. Signs of decline and crises of the first third of the XX century. The renovation of capitalism and the managerial revolution. The fordist-keynesian model and triumph of social-reformism. The dictatorships of middle class? The problem of catching up development: new opportunities.
