The Strategy of 'Proxy War' According to Christopher Chase-Dunn

Due to the progress of modern military technology, especially the development of nuclear weapons, war between the great powers seems to be a past heritage of the past half century. Since the end of World War II, the outlook for mutual destruction fundamentally changed military and diplomatic strategies. These countries are not directly confronted with confrontations between the great powers, but now they have chosen more indirect means to challenge their opponents. One manifestation of these changes is the emergence of the importance of proxy warfare, it is a means to face and challenge powerful countries without directly inducing it.

Christopher Chase - Dunn is an emeritus professor of sociology at the University of California Riverside and is the director of the World Systems Institute. He says "Wintu and its neighbors" (in collaboration with Kelly Mann) and "spirit of capitalism and socialism" (in collaboration with Thomas D. Hall) "(In collaboration with Terry Boswell). He is the founder and former editor of the World System Research Journal. Chase - Dunn is currently studying world party formation and social movement of anti - socialization. He also studied the settlements and political changes from the stone age and the trajectory of the global nation formation.

Christopher Chase - Dunn, one of the leading experts in world system theory, points out that the restriction theory applies to the global system as the world system is limited. In fact, within a century of its unrestricted existence, the global system overcomes the power equilibrium of hundreds of years and achieved unipolarity. Given the "certain spatial parameters" of the global system, its unipolar structure is not historically abnormal or theoretically surprising. Randall Schweiler believes that a "closed international system" like globalization will achieve "entropy" within the law of thermodynamics one century ago. Once the entropy state is reached, it will not return. The initial condition has gone forever. Schweler emphasized the curiosity of this fact and said that the process evolved only in one direction since the moment the modern world became a closed system.

Future predictions In 1998, Volker Bornschier and Christopher Chase-Dunn organized an international collaborative research network to participate in the 14th World Sociological Congress held in Montreal, Canada. The network seeks to theoretically and empirically identify many aspects related to globalization, in particular economics, politics, common ecological constraints, cultural values ​​and institutions, and communication globalization (WCSDG, 2004) . The first result of this collaborative research was presented at two sessions of the Montreal World Sociological Congress. Early generic discourse on globalization seems at least implicitly suggesting that globalization and global economic growth occur simultaneously, but more rigorous analysis suggests that all aspects of globalization are long-term Indicates that it became more prominent than economic growth. . Long-term economic growth
