Question 3

Immanuel Wallerstein

Answer 3

drawing from a conflict theory perspective, this sociologist views the global economic system as being divided between nations that control wealth and nations

Question 4

world systems analysis

Answer 4

a multidisciplinary, macro-scale approach to world history and social change that stresses that the world-system (and not nation states) should be the primary (but not exclusive) unit of social analysis.

World-system refers to the inter-regional and transnational division of labor, which divides the world into core countries, semi-periphery countries, and the periphery countries. Core countries focus on higher skill, capital-intensive production, and the rest of the world focuses on low-skill, labor-intensive production and extraction of raw materials. This constantly reinforces the dominance of the core countries.

Wallerstein’s world systems analysis is the most widely used version of dependency theory
