In the sociology literature of development, there is a heated debate on whether social class or the world-system is a more important factor in the historical development of the Third World countries. Responding to the above debate, this dissertation outlines a synthetic model to study the changing class relations in the capitalist world-system. The synthetic model contends that we should go back to examine the nature of pre-incorporated social formation, the historical process of incorporation into the capitalist world-system, the commercialization of agriculture, and the upward and downward phases of peripheral industrialization in order to understand the present development of the Third World countries. The rest of the dissertation applies the synthetic model to study the changing political economy of the South China silk district from the early nineteenth century to the 1930s. Focusing on the interplay between external constraints and domestic class relations, this dissertation points to the key role played by the gentry class in shaping the historical development of South China. Highlighting the interesting experiences of the South China gentry class, many new concepts such as gentry landlordism, uneven incorporation, the petty producer mode of commercialization of agriculture, and the cyclical pattern of peripheral industrialization have been developed in the five chapters of this dissertation. In the end, there is a conclusion which spells out the contributions of this dissertation to the field of sociology of development.
