Dear colleagues,

since I do not know Spanish and think that C. Barros might not know German I should like to take up your thread in English.

I have started my scientific reception of Wallerstein with an article in JAHRBUECHER FUeR GESCHICHTE OSTEUROPAS 1980, which has been published in English in REVIEW OF THE FERNAND BRAUDEL INSTITUTE 1982. In 1982 also I published DIE EINE WELT; 2nd.ed. 1993, not available at the moment. My main point, in short, is and was, that intellectual, political , social criteria have to be included into the discussion on the World System. Since then I am taking part in the international debate on World-History (transgressing the concept of system) and I am a member of the World-History-Association.

Further a group of friends and I have founded a VEREIN FUeR GESCHICHTE DES WELTSYSTEMS , which is editing a RUNDBRIEF, on its way to a Journal just now.

If you are interested, please send your adresses to me. In case you would do that immediately, I would send to you Satzung etc. in return. A homepage is in the making, but not yet finished - sorry, I am only learning in that field.

My position: I am Professor for History of Eastern Europe in Hannover (HISTORISCHES SEMINAR der UNIVERSITAeT HANNOVER, Im Moore 21, 3o167 Hannover). My last book: Kleine Geschichte Russlands, with Reclams Universalbibliothek Nr. 9696.

The adress of our Verein also is my private adress:
Bullerbachstr. 12
D-30890 Barsinghausen
Germany

I have been elected fellow of the Nobel-Institut, therefore you might ,
following February 1st, turn to:
c.o. Det Norske Nobel Institut
Drammensveien 19
N 0255 Oslo
Norway
Email: <gf2@nobel.no>

hoping to hear from you, and glad that this debate - which in the US already has led to new history-textbooks - is reaching good old Europe -

sincerely
Hans-Heinrich Nolte
