Wallerstein’s paper underlines the difference, ambiguity and complex reality expressed and created by two opposite but equally important meanings or versions of the concept of ‘civilisation’. He identifies the singular version of ‘civilisation’ more or less with the concepts of ‘progress’ and ‘modern capitalism’ and the universalist ideologies or worldview connected with the former. The plural conception of the term (‘civilisations’) which became more usual in the early twentieth century is associated with a plurality of more localised ‘empires’ (or ‘world empires’) and with counter-movements against the general trend towards a global figuration or system of power without boundaries. Such counter-trends are often expressed in movements which are grounded in more localised or more particular(ist) social formations, or strands of ‘tradition’ respectively (such as fundamentalist religious or nationalist movements). He advocates the ‘deconstructing’ of the existing global system—modern capitalism—without constructing another one which would imply also inequality or hierarchy.

... To survive or grow in any new society or country, it's very crucial to know the language of that society or country. By learning language of such community which you need to be benefited by academically or for business purpose (Wallerstein, 2023).

... Simultáneamente, el contenido cultural en estas plataformas presenta un estado complejo de constante emergencia y desvanecimiento. Aunque la cultura constituye "un campo de batalla ideológico del sistema mundial moderno" (Wallerstein, 1990: 2-3), el espacio de comunicación intercultural se ha transformado en un ámbito de confrontación entre fuerzas políticas, sociales y económicas. No obstante, es fascinante observar cómo persiste la curiosidad entre diferentes grupos culturales, quienes buscan un equilibrio entre la afirmación de la identidad propia y la exploración de diferencias con otros (Wang, 2020). ...

... While there are systems based on the prevention of climate change, there is also the concept of a carbon right, which is defined depending on the transformation of carbon trade into certain market systems and the placing of it on a certain basis [46,47]. This situation naturally led to the emergence of systems that provide different definitions and interpretations of the subject in different countries [48]. Therefore, it is very difficult to deal with carbon rights and the related benefits arising from them in a single system. ...

... The globalization of financial markets and the transition of advanced economies from manufacturing industries to knowledge economies has increased the demand for STEM graduates (Lu, 2015;Wallerstein, 2005). Although there is high employer demand for STEM graduates, low interest in STEM fields among entering college students and poor achievement rates of first-year college students have resulted in an insufficient number of STEM graduates (Morrison et al., 2011). ...

... In this, we have found a comparability between both cases, where increased containment, securitization, and criminalization of migration at the macro-level -and specifically in the United States and European Union -has indeed trickled down within these micro-level spaces. Relatedly, we found that the literature often pointed to American and European crisis-making around migration as precipitating increased border enforcement across scales, showing -in terms familiar to world systems theory (Wallerstein, 1992) -that a realpolitik at the core is indeed articulated in peripheral spaces that succumb to regional hegemons. Some empirical work in these contexts, and particularly that focusing on Central American women in Chiapas, has shown the extent in which these changes have led to localized containment. ...

... "We do not know what type of historical system will replace the currently existing one," says, for example, the famous American sociologist I. Wallerstein. "But we know for sure that the peculiar system of which we are contemporaries, a system in which states played a key role in ensuring the unlimited accumulation of capital, is no longer able to function" (Wallerstein, 2021). There are many reasons for this conclusion, rooted in the processes of globalization, post-industrialization, informatization, growing intercivilizational contradictions, loss of identity, etc. ...

... This also translates into the question of to what extent ecological activists are or can be part of the antisystemic movement. Here, antisystemic movements are understood according to Wallerstein's (2022) definition; namely, movements are or were antisystemic "in one simple sense: They were struggling against the established power structures in an effort to bring into existence a more democratic, more egalitarian historical system than the existing one" (7). Space entangled in the unequal distribution of financial and cultural capital has enormous potential to generate antisystemic actions and demands. ...

... The Russian-Ukrainian war fits well into this Sino-centric strategy, which, together with the flaring up Middle East war and the pre-war situation around Taiwan, I. Wallerstein could well be regarded as elements of the new "Thirty Years' War". In his works, the American world-system analyst has repeatedly pointed out that the final breakdown of the existing world order and the existing world-system will occur by the middle of the 21st century (Wallerstein, 2021). ...

... In order for the social sciences to be useful to actors, they should decipher the assumptions and ideologies underlying the discourses and actions of actors, and develop a critical view of the way "resources" are mobilized. This implies a assuming a political posture, or at least an ethical engagement on the part researchers-that they agree that the knowledge they produce is "situated" (Collignon, 2010 ;Hancock, 2007) and that they expressly state their position, as many American researchers have done while developing a critical analysis of capitalism and demanding a radical positioning to the left on the political scene (for example, Wallerstein, Calhoun, Collins, Mann, Derluguian, 2014or Fraser, 2016. The issue is to be aware of the beliefs and ideologies that our research conveys and perpetuates, to make these explicit, to manage to maintain some critical distance regarding interpretive schemes of the world, such that social sciences contribute to building new paradigms. ...
