I. Wallerstein's World-Systems Analysis in the Light of the Leninist Theory of Imperialism
The article is devoted to the question of succession between Lenin’s theory of imperialism and the world-systems analysis of I. Wallerstein. It is concluded that the American scientist has retained a number of key features of the classical Marxist approach, which makes it possible to classify him as a representative of this tradition, although not in its basic version. The world-systems analysis reflects the essential peculiarities of neocolonial exploitation and serves as a useful tool for its further research, helps to theoretically substantiate political decisions aimed at a constructive transformation of social reality.
