The Architecture of Collapse: The Global System in the 21st Century (Clarendon Lectures in Management Studies) By Mauro F. Guillén Kindle Edition Sociology The Architecture of Collapse: The Global System in the 21st Century (Clarendon Lectures in Management Studies) Why are there so many crises in the world? Is it true that the global system is today riskier and dangerous than in past decades? Do we have any tools at our disposal to bring these problems under control, to reduce the global systems proneness to instability? These are the tantalizing questions addressed in this book. Using a variety of demographic, economic, financial, social, and political indicators, the book demonstrates that the global system has indeed become an architecture of collapse subject to a variety of shocks. An analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and China, and the European sovereign debt crisis illustrates how the complexity and tight coupling of system components creates asituation of precarious stability and periodic disruption. This state of affairs can only be improved by enhancing the shock absorbing components of the system, especially the capacity of states and governments to act, and by containing the shock diffusing mechanisms. In particular, those related to phenomena such as trade imbalances, portfolio investment, cross border banking, population ageing, and income and wealth inequality.

Fragility in the global systemThis is a key book that shows international crises are on the rise and why this is happening The author applies Charles Perrow s normal accident theory to international crises and highlights features of the global system that transfer and amplify crises on an international and global scale The author focuses on the global recession the Euro crisis and the relationship between the US and China as case studies to show how crises play out in the global system Guillen applies a sort of network analysis to societies and the global system and offers some partial solutions to the fragility of the global system He acknowledges at the end that these problems are economic political and social and must be addressed on both national and international levels and that the international institutions that address these issues are not quite up to the task Kindle Edition
