Incineration, or waste-to-energy, is a widespread means of greenwashing municipal solid waste collection worldwide. This paper looks at incineration and the trade of bottom ash to discuss how urbanization in one country pressures urban expansion elsewhere in the modern world-system. Incineration is a coping mechanism for excess waste produced by cities under capitalism. It generates energy, reduces the volume of waste, and creates ash that can be used in cement production. However, it is far from sustainable, as it facilitates expansion-oriented growth. Using UN Comtrade data, we find that incineration is a material and metabolic process that promotes global urbanization in the following ways: 1.) Corporations producing and selling incineration are part of a transnational growth machine that fuels the treadmill of production. 2.) North-North, North-South, and South-South relationships encourage incineration as a means of ecological modernization. 3.) These relationships have both hierarchical and polycentric dimensions—allowing us to create a typology for understanding such processes within the modern world-system.

Between the second half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century, Australia and the islands of the southwestern Pacific were the setting of a wide context of encounters between Europeans and Indigenous peoples, in regions that could be perceived as disconnected at a first glance. However, it was part of a wider project of colonization that overlapped on a not less wide set of Indigenous networks of interconnection. Such a colonial project had landscape modification as a main common goal, added to projects of ethnic and cultural separation and segregation. This article suggests an approach to cultural seascapes as an approach to power relations between European colonizers and Indigenous people in this region. I suggest that this level of analysis allows to connect realities that could be perceived as disparate, but which were coherent with global projects of imposition of colonial identities according to a dominant global matrix of power. I aim to highlight the value of local spaces of interconnection as expressions of wider realities, approachable throughout the analysis of cultural seascapes as mobile spaces of power relations.

To address literature on U.S.-China hegemonic competition, this paper examines the properties of China among select Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) states which pertain to the features of hegemony per world-systems analysis and how it compares to the United States and regional powers Brazil and South Africa. I demonstrate that Beijing has made significant progress propagating its modus operandi by way of greater yuan use and imposing its legal code on examined BRI states, economic dominance through besting competitors in exports to these states, achieving an overall trade surplus as well as setting up free-trade zones to maintain and enhance this, and establishing a stream of revenue from examined states via high-interest, short-term loans, income from projects, and trade surpluses. In military dominance, China has made gains in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Pakistan. Meanwhile, Washington remains dominant in Peru, and, with Paris, more culturally dominant in SSA.

The European political class as a whole is in a state of denial. Polarization between ideologically different political parties tends to occur in an ever narrowing circle of political views and solutions. There is a clear difference between parties that defend rights and parties that attack rights (in the case of the far-right), but is this enough to distinguish the left from the right? It will certainly not be enough to face the two great challenges that question to the limit both the relationship between humanity and nature (the impending ecological catastrophe) and human coexistence (artificial intelligence). The circle of the politically possible has narrowed and within it the political class pushes itself to mark differences that, in fact, are more rhetorical than real. The denial lies in accepting this state of affairs as an inevitability. The immediate cause of the qualitative reduction of politically addressable problems and the consequent expansion of unapproachable problems is the war in Ukraine—the war itself, its continuation and possible expansion. But the continuation of the war is only the latest episode in the rivalry between the United States and Europe as global centers of capitalist accumulation.

整个欧洲政治阶层都处于否认状态。意识形态不同的政党之间的两极分化往往发生在政治观点和解决方案不断缩小的圈子里。捍卫权利的政党和攻击权利的政党之间有明显的区别（在极右翼的情况下），但这足以区分左派和右派吗？仅仅面对人类与自然之间的关系（即将到来的生态灾难）和人类共存（人工智能）这两个极限挑战肯定是不够的。政治可能性的圈子已经缩小，在这个圈子里，政治阶层推动自己标记差异，事实上，这些差异更多是口头上的，而不是真实的。否认在于接受这种情况是不可避免的。政治上可解决的问题在质量上减少，随之而来的不可解决问题扩大的直接原因是乌克兰战争——战争本身、战争的持续和可能的扩大。但战争的持续只是美国和欧洲作为全球资本主义积累中心之间竞争的最新一幕。从20世纪70年代起，美国意识到其在世界经济中无可争议的霸权ISSN:1076-156X |第29卷第2期| DOI 10.5195/JWSSR.2023.1217 | JWSR.pitt.edu

The article examines the concept of geoculture understood as a form of dominant ideology in the twenty-first century. It situates this in the context of the attempt by conservative and liberal elites in the core states to frame a coherent understanding of the post-Cold War world with which to guide, justify, and legitimize policies and actions. The dominant geoculture has come to be framed by two contrasting grand narratives which establish a framework for legitimate intra-elite debate and understanding of the post-Cold War era: Neoliberalism and the Clash of Civilizations. The significance of these two intra-elite grand narratives is that they represent a break with what Wallerstein has called “centrist liberalism,” which has tended to dominate the geoculture of the modern world-system.

Even radical innovations are shaped by historical paths and contexts. They depart from some features, reproduce others, and show the marks of their origins. It takes nothing away from the achievements of remarkable creators, save perhaps individualistic illusions, to note that they are made possible by preparation, pathways, and contributions from many sources. World-systems analysis is no exception.

即使是激进的创新也受到历史路径和背景的影响。它们偏离了某些特征，复制了其他特征，并显示了它们的起源标志。值得注意的是，杰出创作者的成就是通过准备、途径和来自多个来源的贡献而实现的，除了个人主义的幻想。世界系统分析也不例外。它是二十世纪末最具原创性和最重要的社会科学项目之一，由许多学者跨越学科和国家界限共同工作和辩论产生。然而，伊曼纽尔·沃勒斯坦至关重要。他在思想上的创新、清晰和对核心主题的不懈追求都是非凡的。ISSN:1076-156X |第29卷第2期| DOI 10.5195/JWSR.2023.1197 | JWSR.pitt.edu
