In this dissertation, I explore world-hegemonic competitions in the 'Greater Mediterranean Region' over the Long Duree. Previous studies on world-hegemonies have examined neither their ecological dimensions nor their relation to transition to capitalism. By employing a comparative historical methodology and studying primary and secondary sources, I examine the contrasting tendencies that the pre-capitalist and the capitalist world-hegemonies exhibited in relation to climate change. Pre-capitalist world-economies and world-hegemonies demonstrated a positive correlation with climatic cycles. In other words, agricultural production, rural and urban populations, commercial exchanges, and artisanal production increased concurrently with rising regional temperatures, and vice versa. In contrast, the capitalist world-economy, at least in the early modern period, showed a negative correlation. It emerged and expanded during the 'Little Ice Age.' Furthermore, its world-hegemonic cycles, too, demonstrated a negative correlation: The material expansion phases of the Venetian and Dutch World-Hegemonies, more or less, overlapped with the coldest periods of the Little Ice Age i.e. the Sporer Minimum (circa 1400-1550) and the Maunder Minimum (circa 1650-1725), respectively. I argue that the capitalist world-economy and its world-hegemonies escaped the pre-capitalist pattern of development due to the rise of industrial capital, and, territorial expansion of the capitalist world into the temperate and tropical zones of the globe through politico-military means. I also scrutinize the emergence of capitalist world-hegemonies with respect to debates on transition to capitalism in order to account for the consolidation of capitalism as a socio-ecological system. I argue that the rapid capitalist industrial development of 'insular states' such as Venice and the United Provinces not only allowed them to economically and militarily outcompete 'territorial states' such as the Holy Roman Empire and Spain, but also prevented the capitalist world to transform into an empire. I conclude that although globalization of production liberated capitalism from the whims of regional climate and led to long-term economic growth; it simultaneously devastated local ecologies, and, progressively subjugated capitalist production to global climatic patterns over the centuries.
