Abstract

World-System theory is not usually seen as a particularly "international relations" theory, but is often considered as a sociological theory with implications for international relations. It might be, however, seen as a kind of international critical theory .as well. In this case, it is clearly a non-mainstream IR theory that goes beyond the mere description and explanation of the "reality" of international life to include critical reflections about it and also to criticize the theoretical and meta-theoretical foundations of IR as a discipline. This article evaluates the world-system theory as a critical approach to international relations. It first examines the meta-theoretical foundations of the theory. The second part deals with its understanding of the interstate system including its constitution, its components and the prospects for its transformation. The article concludes that art ontological characteristic of the theory, i.e., its structuralist approach that underestimates the role of agents in international life seriously constraints its potential as a critical theorizing of international relations.
