14. Wallerstein’s World-Systems Theory:
Main Ideas:
1.) The world economy has one market and a global division of labor
2.) Although the world has multiple states, almost everything takes place within the context of the world economy
3.) The world economy has a three-tier structure
World Economy created by the 3 Cs:
1.) Capitalism – people, corporations, and states produce goods and services and exchange them in the world market, with the goal of achieving profit.
2.) Commodification – the process of placing a price on a good and then buying, selling, and trading the good.
3.) Colonialism – brought the world into the world economy, setting up an interdependent global economy.

15. Wallerstein’s World Systems
Core
Processes that incorporate higher levels of education, higher salaries, and more tech
* Generate more wealth in the world economy
Periphery
Processes that incorporate lower levels of education, lower salaries, and less tech
* Generate less wealth in the world economy
Semi-periphery
Places where core and periphery processes are both occurring - are exploited by the core but then exploit the periphery
* Serves as a buffer between core and periphery
THIS MODEL IS BASED ON DEPENDENCY THEORY!
