Abstract World-system analysis emphasizes the economic and material dimensions of major units of world history. Part of Immanuel Wallerstein's analysis posits that in premodern times, only two varieties of world-system existed: world-empires and world-economies. The history of the Islamic world shows that there may be a different type of world-system: a hemispheric community of discourse where the patterns of communication are based on Islam. In this perspective, the post-Abbasid world of Islam is better described as a discourse-based world-system than as "Islamic civilization". Journal Information Devoted to historical analysis from a global point of view, the Journal of World History features a range of comparative and cross-cultural scholarship and encourages research on forces that work their influences across cultures and civilizations. Themes examined include large-scale population movements and economic fluctuations; cross-cultural transfers of technology; the spread of infectious diseases; long-distance trade; and the spread of religious faiths, ideas, and ideals. Individual subscription is by membership in the World History Association.
