Professor Immanuel Wallerstein is the pre-eminent theorist of world-systems. His writings have consistently focused on the unequal distribution of resources, power and life chances resulting from world-systems hierarchies. His work on world-systems subsequently led him to analyze the ordering of disciplinary knowledge. Professor Wallerstein is currently Senior Research Scholar at Yale and formerly Director of the Fernand Braudel Center for the Study of Economies, Historical Systems, and Civilizations at SUNY, Binghamton, where he was also distinguished professor of Sociology.
