THE CONCEPT OF GLOBALIZATION FROM THE WORLD-SYSTEM PERSPECTIVE
https://doi.org/10.24290/1029-3736-2016-22-4-81-97
Abstract
The article compares the approaches to the study of the contemporary stage of development of world civilization that were developed in the concepts of globalization and world-systems analysis. It is emphasized that the globalization studies and WSA are competing analytical perspectives. While the globalization studies consider the contemporary period of social development as a qualitatively new global stage in the history of humanity, the world-systems analysis argues that the essence of a new historical stage is the crisis of the modern global capitalist system and its transformation towards the new historical system. A comparison study of globalization and world-systems analysis demonstrates that the latter provides more clear picture of social reality. The world-system reinterpretation of the concept of globalizations is proposed.
