World‐System and Social Movements

Abstract: Proponents of the world‐system perspective have argued that the modern world‐system first took shape in Western Europe and the Americas between 1450 and 1650, the “long sixteenth century” (Wallerstein 1974, 1980, 1989). Although social conflict was endemic during the early modern period, “antisystemic” movements emerged only in 1848 (Arrighi, Hopkins, & Wallerstein 1989). Class and status‐based movements subsequently seized state power as a means of changing the inequalities associated with the capitalist … Show more

“…By combining Brook's (2009) elaboration of Hochschild's theory in Marxian terms for the labor process, with my argument here and with Hochschild's subsequent work on the link between emotions, ideologies, and action strategies thus seems a fruitful line of inquiry. The fact that "social movement" scholarship represents one area where "emotions" have had a decisive impact may reflect this (e.g., Flam and King 2005;Goodwin, Jasper, and Polletta 2001;Schaeffer and Weyher Forthcoming). As Hochschild (1990:129) notes, "emotional management" is not necessarily estranging for, in the course of any struggle, "we try to change 'how we feel' to fit 'how we must feel' in order to pursue a given course of action."…”

“…One reason for the increasing popularity of this movement strategy is that, in a globalising, neoliberal world, movements realised that ‘state power was more limited than they had thought’ (Wallerstein, 2002: 32). Moreover, they were disenchanted by earlier anti-systemic activism which did successfully gain state power, but then focused more on retaining that power than enacting the intended social reforms (Schaefer and Weyher, 2013: 3; Wallerstein, 2014: 161). Similar critiques have been made of overly bureaucratised social movements even when they do not gain state power.…”
