World-systems theory. World-systems theory (also known as world-systems analysis or the world-systems perspective), is a multidisciplinary, macro-scale approach to world history and social change which emphasizes the world-system (and not nation states) as the primary (but not exclusive) unit of social analysis.
World-Systems theory can be seen as a further development of dependency theory during the neoliberal era, with the theorist Immanuel Wallerstein being the primary theorist who advanced it. The practical premises of both are the same, as one should expect given that world-systems theory is essentially building on top of and with dependency theory. The differences are more in the contexts of their development and the focus that each field does/did.
