Samenvatting

A review of US sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein's theory of the world system as a sociological research program. The theory is shown to be well-developed on the level of research, & very successful in terms of its institutional bases & number of adherents; much of its popularity, however, is a result of its more or less implicit political message. In addition, the theoretical underpinnings of this research program are very weak, & its metatheoretical foundations are virtually nonexistent. It is concluded that a more complete theory of the world system is required to understand secular social & political processes in modern history. 79 References. Modified HA
