Observing the
latest trends of a rise in interest in the
development of power distribution in a world-system
created and dominated by states but increasingly
challenged as such, this paper takes a deeper look
at the historical evolution of this system, its
current transformation, and likely future
development. After a brief discussion of prevalent
concepts of world(-)system development and its
sociopolitical control, this work offers an
evolutionary perspective to place current changes
of power and its distribution in the dynamic
long-term development of global system formation.
It then presents alternative visions of the future
development of political and economic hegemony. It
concludes that a further rise in instability of
global political power distribution accompanied by
a likely challenge to existing distributional
patterns has a high probability of occurrence.

The New Economy, the Leadership Long Cycle, and the Nineteenth K-Wave (2002)

Most authors analyzing the ‘New Economy’ study it as an isolated phenomenon. This approach, however, misses the continued significance of structural economic and sociopolitical fundamentals, both domestically and within the world economy. This paper examines the current changes in the global economic environment in a historical and structural context and identifies change as a pattern constantly discernible in at least the past one thousand years. The changes leading to the New Economy are neither unique in a historical context, nor do they represent the end of the nation state and its role in the global economy. Instead, the changes represent a common pattern observed over an extended period of time. A convincing framework to study and explain the question of economic and political global leadership in the course of history is the leadership long cycle paradigm. The paper identifies the Internet as the new leading sector of the nineteenth K-wave and the United States as the country most likely to be the old and new leading economy in the world economic and political system.
