Immanuel Wallerstein's World-systems Analysis An Introduction provides a concise and accessible overview of his pioneering approach to understanding the history and development of the modern world. This comprehensive methodology has become a widely used framework within the historical social sciences, offering insights into globalization and its complexities. Wallerstein explains the core principles of world-systems analysis, including its focus on interconnected nations, firms, households, classes, and identity groups, as well as its emphasis on considering historical processes over long periods. The book also highlights key moments in the evolution of the modern world-system, such as the development of a capitalist world-economy and the impact of liberal centrism. This introduction to world-systems analysis is intended for general readers, students, and experienced practitioners alike, offering a complete overview of this influential approach by its original architect.
