Editors Introduction:
In March 2015, we had the privilege of hosting the 39th Annual Conference on the Political Economy of the World-System of the American Sociological Association at the Institute for Latin American Studies of the Freie Universität Berlin. The conference addressed the theme of "Global Inequalities: Hegemonic Shifts and Regional Differentiations", drawing attention to how the longue durée shapes contemporary struggles for hegemony. More than 40 researchers from all five continents presented and discussed research on the conference theme.
Selected contributions to the conference are published in four different venues.

Hans-Heinrich Nolte, Religions in World- and Global History. A View from the German-language Discussion

Volume 4 has by further addenda grown too voluminous for the foregoing three collections and has been published seperately. Nolte argues that religious history is underestimated in its importance for World- and Global history. The history of religions is quite often an established sub-discipline within convincing research traditions. In order to reconstruct the past adequately, historians need academically controlled data about the beliefs of the people they are dealing with. This book offers ten examples from a wide range of religious beliefs which show that developments in religion have far reaching consequences for general history – in the change from Empire to the system of European nations, in establishing social disciplines as part of capitalist societies, in attempts of semi-peripheral states struggling for a place in the European World-System, in defence of Muslim societies on the peripheries and in postcolonial Africa.
