Immanuel Wallerstein

sociologist United States

Immanuel Wallerstein was a prominent sociologist and historian known for his world-systems theory, which analyzes the global economic system and its social implications. He argued that the world is divided into core, semi-periphery, and periphery nations, with economic and political power concentrated in the core. His influential works, including 'The Modern World-System,' have shaped the fields of sociology, political science, and global studies. Wallerstein's insights into the dynamics of globalization, capitalism, and historical processes continue to influence contemporary discussions on global inequality and power structures.
