Parallel process in the world system: Intermediate agencies and local factionalism in the United States and Mexico
分析了行政中介机构在塑造世界经济体系中的社会冲突与发展中的作用，通过比较美国和墨西哥的农村合作发展项目，揭示了核心与边缘地区发展中的意外平行现象。
This article analyses the role of administrative intermediaries in shaping social conflict and development in the world economic system. It argues that more explicit focus on the points of contact between national and local systems can help identify and explain unanticipated parallels in core and peripheral development. The analysis is based on comparative case material gathered in independent investigations of cooperative rural development projects in the United States and Mexico.
