I. Wallerstein advanced a theoretical and historical account of the origins and structure of the modern world-system. There are two important points in his theory. First, he criticized the traditional theory of the state. In the modern world-system theory, he holds, the subject of analysis is not the nation-state but inter-state relations. Second, he denied the possibility of national development in the modern world-system. In his view, the constituent institutions in the system such as nation-states cannot develop independently, but rather merely change their economic and political position within the system.World-systems analysis emerged as a critique of current social science, and while there exist some theoretical contradictions to resolve in this type of analysis, it is concluded that it has raised important questions for current social science to grapple with. In Race, Nation, Class by Wallerstein and Balibar, we find a promising direction in which to develop the modern world-system theory.
