In 1984, renowned sociologist and historian Norbert Elias organized a groundbreaking conference titled "Civilizations and Civilizing Processes at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research (University of Bielefeld)." The event brought together a constellation of distinguished and influential scholars from the fields of historical sociology and world history. The participants included luminaries such as Johann P. Arnason, Elias, Hans-Dieter Evers, Johan Goudsblom, Keith Hopkins, William H. McNeill, and Immanuel Wallerstein, each of whom made significant contributions to their respective disciplines. This conference, which took place, marked a historic gathering of eminent and internationally renowned scholars, and its proceedings have remained unpublished until now. However, the event was meticulously documented on paper and through tape recordings, preserving the invaluable insights and discussions that took place. The upcoming publication of these proceedings in a single volume is poised to be a significant milestone for students of human history, as it offers a rare and comprehensive glimpse into the long-term structural transformations that have shaped our world.
