GIOVANNI ARRIGHI'S ANALYSIS OF CAPITALIST TERRITORIALISM
As the term implies, a central concern in political economy is the relationship between economic and political factors. The lectures in this unit will outline an understanding of modern historical development that takes seriously the mutual dependency between the state and the economy. The assigned readings are examples of historical scholarship that takes this same approach and for which the period from the late nineteenth century to the end of World War II is of particular importance.
Discuss Giovanni Arrighi’s analysis of capitalist territorialism as presented in “Hegemony Unravelling--2.” To what extent do the pieces you read by Beckert, McCormick, Leffler support Arrighi’s view?
when discussing Arrighi, please confine your comments to sections II and III of his article, focusing on the rise and decline of British hegemony and the subsequent rise and decline of US dominance.
NOTE: Your paper is to be based on the assigned reading only. Reviews and other sources must not be used. Papers must be completely and correctly footnoted in the Chicago Style. Footnotes must be placed at the bottom of the page and numbered consecutively throughout the paper. Papers must be double spaced and printed in 12 point font on one side of the page.

Introduction
For the capitalism theory to deal with the revolutions of history for the past few decades, it can only explain the economic improvements which are only understood intently but also must be in a position to brighten the natural changes of cultural and social life within the capitalist framework. It is only then that critical capitalism theory can claim to be precarious in the modern era, which is traditionally subjective rather than a determinate economic organization theory. With that, the critical capitalism theory should also be capable of expounding qualitative, social objective interrelated changes, and the subjectivity of addressing the cultural changes as well as social appointments. Only then that at least a capitalist theory can be overcome. In this paper, I will look into the analysis of hegemony by Giovanni Arrighi on capitalist territorialism. I will touch on the surface and deep structure.
Analysis of Capitalist Territorialism
Arrighi is considered to be among the theorists that conceptualize the period from 1973 as among the qualitative variations. He embodies the change in terms of capital financialization terms as its predominant feature. In his arguments against the positions, the enhanced significance of finance capital marks a new stage entirely for the development of capitalists. He maintains that the financialization predominance is an intermittent singularity. It is a phase of capitalists' greater cycles development which started in early contemporary Europe and late medieval.[Taylor, Ian. "Global Governance and Transnationalizing Capitalist Hegemony." 2016. doi:10.4324/9781315414058.]
The study on the twelve-century crisis by Arrighi is mainly set in a much larger context. It involves the analysis of the processes and structure of the capitalist realm system entirely at various development stages. In turn, the latter is deeply informed by the ambitions of Arrighi in attempting to think in harmony what was characterized by Charles Tilly to being the two modern master processes that are interdependent. They involve the creation of the national state system and the establishment of a global capitalist system. With these two to the universal systems, he has an alternative to the previous theories by Karl Polanyi and Ferdinand Braudel. He adopts Braudel's capitalism as the top cover of the three-tiered construction entailing the lowermost layer known as material life by Braudel. The non-economies stratum can be molded through capitalism, a market economy's middle layer, and the anti-market, which is the top layer and the zone for the large predators. The upper level by Braudel is considered as the real locus of capitalism. Based on broadens understanding, Arrighi claims the capitalist development historically was not considered as an innumerable unpremeditated consequence of actions that are taken on by persons and various world economy communities but that the restructuring and expansion of the capitalists global economy have happened under particular communities leadership and government blocs as well as the bus...
