The international political economy has experienced a sequence of economic booms and busts, as well as periods of relative peace and world war, for the last 500 years. Capitalist industrialization has expanded productivity and integrated everlarger numbers of people into a single global economy in waves of industrialization and market expansion. These waves have been repeatedly punctuated by world wars. The current level of economic integration, and other factors, cause many students of the global system to argue that the periodic outbreak of world wars is over. This book focuses on both long run trends and recent developments in the modern world-system, and their implications for the future of humankind. Will the cycles of boom bust, peace and war continue? Or have long terms trends (or recent changes) altered the nature of thesystem sufficiently such that these oscillations will cease, or take a less destructive form?

This article briefly describes some of the major theories of international political economy, namely: Liberal Trade Theory; Nationalist trade theory; The theory of "Dual Economy"; Theory of the Modern World System (MWS); Hegemonic stability theory. Each of these theories has shown an important aspect of economic and political relations. In addition to having the advantages of each, above theories also opened the weaknesses of another theory, allowing us to see the extent of his power in explaining trends in today's global economy. Each theory has its contextual truth respectively. In addition, any such theory can not stand alone. We need elements of each other's views to be aware of the complex relationship between economics and politics. In international relations the interrelationship or interplay between economic factors with the political factor is absolute.

Finally, it presents a brief summary of the rest of the volume, where authors look at specific periods of the seven decades of the Survey.

In the 21st century, the world became a sign of globalization: global conflicts, global disasters, global economy, global Internet, etc. The Polish researcher Casimir Zhigulsky defines globalization as a kind of process, that is, the target set of characteristic changes that develop over time and occur in the modern world. These changes in general are reduced to mutual rapprochement, reduction of distances, the rapid appearance of a large number of different connections, contacts, exchanges, and to increase the dependence of society in almost all spheres of his life from what is happening in other, often very remote regions of the world.

Reasons of high inequality in the modern world are considered in the article. In developing countries it interacts with underdeveloped markets and inefficient government programs to slow growth, which in turn slows progress in reducing poverty. Increasing reach of global markets makes rising inequality more likely and deepens the gap between rich and poor countries. Because global markets work better for the already rich, we should increase the representation of poor countries in global fora.

Drawing on rehabilitation publications, novels by both famous and lesser-known American writers, and even the prosthetic masks of a classically trained sculptor, Great War Prostheses in American Literature and Culture addresses the ways in which prosthetic devices were designed, promoted, and depicted in America in the years during and after the First World War. The war’s mechanized weaponry ushered in an entirely new relationship between organic bodies and the technology that could both cause and attempt to remedy hideous injuries. This relationship was evident in the realm of prosthetic development, which by the second decade of the twentieth century promoted the belief that a prosthesis should be a spiritual extension of the person who possessed it. This spiritualized vision of prostheses held a particular resonance in American postwar culture. Relying on some of the most recent developments in literary and disability studies, the book’s six chapters explain how a prosthesis’s spiritual promise was largely dependent on its ability to nullify an injury and help an amputee renew (or even improve upon) his prewar life. But if it proved too cumbersome, obtrusive, or painful, the device had the long-lasting power to efface or distort his “spirit” or personality.
