Project description
 

This project assesses the historical processes of peasant transformation in relation to world-systemic expansion within a comparative research design. The North Sea Basin, East Congo, the Central Andean Highlands, and the Yangzi River Delta reflect divergent historical roads of peasant incorporation in space (zoning within the world-economy) and over time (phases of incorporation).
