“…At the same time, he counters those who heralded internationally-trained technocratic teams as the internal architects of neoliberalization (Babb 2001;Centeno 1995). Instead, he affirms those who trace neoliberalism to internal elite champions (Gates 2009: Thacker 2000, in this case to mining elites who sought to eclipse landed elites. In doing so, he unveils how conflict between elites co-constituted the uneven geography of the current neoliberal capitalist world-economy.…”

Can world-systems analysis illuminate politics? Can it help explain why illiberal regimes, outsider parties, and anti-immigrant rhetoric seem to be on the rise? Can it help explain any such nationalchanges that seem destined to shift how nations relate to world markets? Leading surveys of historical sociology seem to say no. We disagree. While there are problems with Wallerstein’s early mode of analyzing politicsin the capitalist world-system from the outside-in, historical sociologists have been too quick to dismiss world-systems analysis. We propose an alternative inside-out approach anchored in a methodology for selecting what to study: those national political transformations which constitute puzzling instances within a given world-historical political process. We recommend promising theoretical lineages to guide empirical research on the selected puzzle: those that specify the elite social bases of politics. We thereby turn world-systems analysis inside-out. Our inside-out approach advances the project of world-systems analysis as a methodology, rather than a theoretical prescription in several ways. First, it addresses an important but largely overlooked question: how to select what to study. Second, it devises a methodology that can, but does not have to, pair with the methodology of incorporated comparisons. Third, it offers a methodology that stimulates, rather than forecloses, theoretical flexibility and fresh interpretations of politics and the world-economy. We illustrate the strengths of this new approach with three books, two of which won the best book award from ASA’s Political Economy of the World System (PEWS) Section.

“…For a number of reasons the situation may have been different in Mexico (see Fairbrother 2008, pp. 153-155; however, see Gates 2009 for an interpretation putting greater emphasis on the role of business). 2.…”
