ABSTRACT
Measuring and modeling long-term, political globalization is not a novelty. We have been doing it for some time. We simply have not called it political globalization. Rather, some of us have referred to it as processes of long-term structural change, systemic leadership and global war, with the presumption being that some of the behavior is relatively new – in the sense that it has emerged only within the past 500 years in readily recognizable form.1
