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 w...
Cadenas productivas en la economía-mundo antes de 1800.
Q. Edward Wang’s unparalleled four-volume survey of historiography examines the nature and significance of history writing from ancient worlds to the present day. Taking a global approach, it presents and contextualizes classic works that portray the traditions of historical writing around the world. The collection also incorporates key essays and...
Celso Furtado (1920-2004) era um republicano exemplar. É assim que o define o sociólogo Francisco de Oliveira neste Volume 2 da Trilogia Celso Furtado: a esperança militante. Trata-se de uma coletânea de quase duas dezenas de depoimentos de pessoas que trabalharam, estudaram e/ou acompanharam, de perto, a carreira intelectual e política do paraiban...
Monthly Review and Monthly Review Press author and celebrated world-systems theorist Immanuel Wallerstein died on August 31, 2019. In his memory, we republish an article that first appeared in Monthly Review 55, no. 3 (July–August 2003).
Die erfolgreiche Einführung in die Welt-System-Analyse von Immanuel Wallerstein liegt nun erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vor.
Immanuel Wallerstein liefert eine prägnante und leicht zugängliche Einführung in den umfangreichen Ansatz der Welt-System-Analyse, den er selbst vor über vierzig Jahren auf den Weg brachte, um die Geschichte und die Entw...
Die Welt-System-Analyse entstand in den frühen 1970er Jahren als eine neue Perspektive auf die soziale Wirklichkeit. Einige ihrer Konzepte sind seit langem in Gebrauch und manche sind neu oder zumindest neu benannt. Konzepte können nur in ihrem historischen Kontext verstanden werden.
Der moderne Staat ist ein souveräner Staat. Souveränität ist ein Konzept, das im modernen Welt-System erfunden wurde. Auf den ersten Blick bedeutet Souveränität vollkommen autonome staatliche Macht.
Die Französische Revolution war, wie wir festgestellt haben, ein Wendepunkt in der kulturellen Geschichte des modernen Welt-Systems. Sie brachte zwei fundamentale Veränderungen hervor, die als Basis der Geokultur des modernen Welt-Systems bezeichnet werden können: Die Normalität politischen Wandels und die Umgestaltung des Konzeptes der Souveränitä...
Die Welt, in der wir heute leben, das moderne Welt-System, hat seine Ursprünge im 16. Jahrhundert. Dieses Welt-System war damals nur in einem Teil des Globus zu finden – vor allem in Teilen Europas und Amerikas. Im Laufe der Zeit dehnte es sich über den ganzen Globus aus. Es ist und war immer eine Welt-Wirtschaft; eine kapitalistische Welt-Wirtscha...
Wie schon gesagt, führen historische Systeme ein Leben. Sie entstehen an einem bestimmten Punkt in Zeit und Raum aus Gründen und in einer Art und Weise, die wir analysieren können. Wenn sie ihre Geburtswehen überleben, führen sie ihr historisches Leben im Rahmen der sie konstituierenden Strukturen, folgen dabei ihren zyklischen Rhythmen und sind in...
This essay discusses the historical development of working class and resistance movements within the modern world-system. Departing from the French Revolution and the three modern ideologies – conservatism, liberalism, and radicalism – that emerged in its aftermath, the essay contextualizes social movements and political currents of the 19th and 20...
Entrevista concedida por Immanuel Wallerstein, pesquisador do Depto de Sociologia da Universidade de Yale, EUA, ex-presidene da Associação Internacional de Sociologia.
This book is a critical appraisal of the themes Göran Therborn has pursued up till now, and is introduced by Robin Blackburn, for almost twenty years his editor at New Left Review.
In between Science, Class and Society (1976) and The Killing Fields of Inequality (2011) Göran has consistently challenged received wisdom in politics and the social sci...
The coming into existence of the capitalist world-economy created new constraints on utilizingthe land for productive purposes. The single most important change is that it established asystematic legal basis for what is called title to the land. Title to the land is fundamentally apolitical question masked by a legal veneer. The amount of land that...
The concept of evolution is ambiguous. Sometimes it only means those changes that have historically ocurred. In other cases it has a more teleological aspect, as in the claim that acorns evolve into oaks. In that meaning, the end result is the normal outcome of a pattern inscribed in the inner structure of the entity under discussion... I consider...

Se examinan los retos de la universidad y el rol de los intelectuales en el siglo XXI; en este largo proceso, caótico, oscuro, ultraviolento, que marca la transición entre un sistema-mundo capitalista y otro aún desconocido
Jusqu'à récemment, la plupart des analystes ont voulu, pour des raisons diverses, nier l'existence des classes sociales en Afrique. Ces analyses proviennent des erreurs d'appréciation à la fois de la réalité sociale d'Afrique contemporaine, de l'histoire véritable de l'Europe occidentale, et des concepts marxistes classiques de classe. Une classe e...
Les anthropologues qui ont été les premiers occidentaux à étudier sérieusement les cultures africaines peuvent être vus comme missionnaires laïcs traduisant la culture de leur "tribu" à l'usage de l'Occident. Le changement politique de l'après IIe guerre mondiale affecta la légitimité de ces études et fut à l'origine de nouvelles directions de rech...

The biggest internal debate absorbing the world left for at least the last seventy-five years has been whether identity is a left concept and therefore...
Immanuel Wallerstein skriver om militærstyrets magt i Egypten.
The existing modern world-system, which is a capitalist world-economy, is in a structural crisis, and there is no way for it to survive. To understand this, we must review (1) how the modern world-system has actually functioned, (2) why it can no longer function in that manner and is therefore in a systemic transition, (3) what happens in a systemi...
Immanuel Wallerstein, who passes away in 2019 was internationally renowned sociologist and world-systems theorist. In the present conversation conducted by Almantas Samalavicius in 2013 Wallerstein commented on the global systemic shifts and suggested one of two possibilities: more hierarchy, exploitation and polarization; or a system that has neve...
The crucial difference between Robinson’s view of the world today and mine has to do with what has been happening in the last 30–50 years. Robinson sees ‘globalization’ as a new stage in capitalism, in which financial institutions are the main mechanisms of capitalist accumulation. I see the same period as one in which capitalist structures have mo...
O TEXTO ABORDA AS QUESTÕES FULCRAIS DA TEORIA DO SISTEMA MUNDO RELACIONANDO-AS COM A PRESENTE CRISE SISTÉMICA, QUE SUGERE PODER SER UMA CRISE TERMINAL. O ARTIGO CONSIDERA QUE QUAISQUER ALTERNATIVAS À PRESENTE SITUAÇÃO SE INSCREVEM NECESSARIAMENTE OU NO QUE CHAMA O “ESPÍRITO DE DAVOS”, APRESENTADO COMO UMA TENTATIVA PROVAVELMENTE INCONSEQUENTE DE RE...

... Terdapat kelompok negara core (negara inti, dominan, kuat) dan negara periphery (dieksploitasi oleh negara core). Teori ini kemudian dikembangkan oleh Wallerstein (1995) yang mencetuskan teori sistem dunia modern (Modern World System Theory). Akibat inkorporasi kapitalisme dan ekspansi, Wallerstein menambahkan satu kelompok di antara kelompok negara core dan negara periphery, yaitu negara semi periphery. ...
... En este sentido, según Alonso (2005) es casi una homologación de la cultura con la identidad, "como caras de una misma moneda". Precisamente, una de las funciones más relevantes de la cultura consiste en diferenciar a un grupo de otros (Wallerstein, 1992), pero cuando se genera una diferencia de otros grupos sociales u otra cultura, también implica una pertenencia a una cultura. ...
... Es ist eine Fehlinterpretation der Situation zu behaupten, der Kapitalismus sei erst im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert ‚weltweit' geworden." (Wallerstein 2000b: 87) Für die Weltsystemtheoretiker ist Marx' wechselnder Fokus auf dem Universalismus der abstrakten Theorie und der Besonderheit der empirischen Realität des Kapitalismus als historisches System von Bedeutung, denn dadurch kamen widersprüchliche und koexistierende Historiographien sowie unterschiedliche Zukunftsszenarien zu Stande (Arrighi u.a. 2012(Arrighi u.a. ...
... 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). ...
... Tras este regreso a los estudios con intenciones emancipatorias, es lamentable no obstante observar que el diálogo entre los ricos trabajos en psicosociología en lengua francesa y los de los estudios críticos en gestión en lengua inglesa no ha podido tener lugar hasta ahora como debería (Chanlat, 1996;2011), lo que también sería el caso con los trabajos realizados en América Latina (Chanlat, Fachin, & Fischer, 2006Vergara, 2005Vergara, , 2006Ibarra-Colado, 2006;Santana, 2007;Bendassoli & Borges-Andrade, 2015;Borges-Andrade, Rentería, & Toro, 2018;Ramírez & Gonzales-Miranda, 2018). Pues, si los autores críticos que publican en inglés suelen apoyarse en la obra de grandes figuras intelectuales francesas como Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, Lyotard, o incluso más recientemente Bourdieu o Latour, por citar a algunos, todos los demás trabajos en lengua francesa son en gran parte ignorados (Chanlat, 2014) al igual que los de otras tradiciones, en particular las publicadas en español y portugués (Floriani, 2015). ...
... Este proceso incesante y cíclico de búsqueda, conquista territorial, explotación, expropiación y fragmentación ecológica de las riquezas de la naturaleza no mercantilizada al servicio del abaratamiento de los costes y el avance de la productividad del trabajo es lo que se identifica con el concepto de "frontera de las mercancías", introducido por Jason Moore (2000;2003), se basa en la idea de que la naturaleza y la sociedad están mutuamente relacionadas y, más concretamente, en el concepto de "cadena productiva", que a su vez se refiere a una red de procesos de trabajo y producción cuyo resultado final es un producto acabado (Hopkins et al., 2021). ...
... This chapter suggests that while it is true, as argued by Wallerstein (2020) in Braudelian fashion, that it is important to distinguish crises within structures and structural crises proper, it is also possible that what is taking place is one more round of the long crises of the Welfare State capitalism that was consolidated after World War II. Rather than the end of capitalism itself, what is underway is the crisis of neoliberal capitalism. ...

... World-systems scholars have argued that anti-systemic movements take two primary forms: social movements and national movements (Wallerstein 2004). The former are often characterized more intentionally as socialist movements, while the latter take form as national liberation movements (Wallerstein, Lemert, and Rojas 2013). This distinction refers mainly to conditions during the liberal geoculture. ...
... Attention has also been paid to why there is poverty and studies focusing on this question have generally noted that poverty is the result of complex, long-term (Acemoglu, 2003;Arrighi, 1994;Arrighi, 2001;North and Thomas, 1970;Wallerstein, 2015) and short-term conditions (Simler, 2010) which include the pace of economic growth (Arrighi, 2002), whether growth is pro-poor or not (). ...

... En medio de esta reconfiguración del poder actual, el ascenso de China merece especial atención porque los desenlaces de la actual crisis del orden mundial y su impacto sobre las periferias dependen en gran medida de las políticas y estrategias que este país adopte (Arrighi, 2007;Jaques, 2009;Ikenberry, 2008;Mearsheimer, 2014;Wallerstein, 2017;). Al respecto, como bien resumen Campbell & Sullivan (2019: 101), a pesar del menor peligro, China representa un competidor mucho más desafiante. ...
