ABSTRACT
World Systems Theory (WST) states that the pattern of a nation’s development depends on the nation’s location in the world economy (Wallerstein, 1979). In recent years, world system theorists (Wallerstein, 1979; Chirot, 1977; Galtung, 1971) have tried to locate countries in different universal divisions of labor, and have applied WST to an increasingly diverse number of social, political and economic problems.
