Long Waves and Historical Generation: A World-System Approach

.
(September 1995)

Abstract

This paper reviews the existing literature on generations and long waves and then examines 41 generational movements to determine if there is any relationship between generations, long waves and regions of the world economy. It finds that the majority of generational movements in the core occurred during A, or expanding, phases of long waves and the majority of generational movements in the periphery and semi-periphery occurred during a B, or contracting, phases of long waves. The final section speculates on the implications of these findings for both generational and long wave research.
