Examining the concept of TimeSpace in the work of Immanuel Wallerstein and its crucial role within world-systems analysis, Uncertainties of Time brings together important but previously hard-to-access material from Wallersteinâs writings.

TimeSpace is a concept developed from Wallersteinâs earliest days in the 1970s until well-into the twenty-first century, drawing from the historian Fernand Braudel and the chemist Ilya Prigogine, to rethink historical timeâs two overlooked modesâ"long enduring or eternal time, on the one hand, and, on the other, uncertainty in world-systems. He, thereby, invented a fresh innovation of historical social sciences that brought together economics, politics, and sociology.

This book is an essential volume for understanding Wallersteinâs unique contributions to the understanding of the Modern World-System, which he argued came to an end after the world revolution of 1968â"leaving us now in an indeterminate world of chaos. This book is thereby invaluable as a resource for researchers and students who care about the history and decline of our chaotic world.
