World society theories have systematically demonstrated the way in which politics, the economy, science, law, sports, education, and religion make for expressions of world society. Despite this wide-ranging research program, it is striking to note just how little attention they have afforded global conflict, manifesting itself in imaginations of and interconnections amongst anti-colonial struggles. Drawing on the fields of global and transnational history, I set out to show how the communicative nexus of global conflict makes for a structure of world society, i.e. an expression of the historical process of globalization. The aim is hence to narrate a history of the emergence of world society in terms of inter-struggle relations. Selecting and adapting lines of thought from the systems theory of Niklas Luhmann, this study puts interaction, organization, and communications and transport technologies center-stage for probing into the social preconditions for the emergence of this historically formed, globally extended communicative nexus. At issue are the African American, Palestinian and South African struggles and, starting in the mid-1960s, their self-styled re-invention and re-imagination as global anti-colonial struggles. Sprinkled in along the way are the comparative advantages afforded by systems theory in contrast to extant theories of globalization in the study of the globalized re-imaginations of liberation struggles.
