Abstract
World-system analysis as a theory and a methodology for researches is staying more and more popular among national scientists. Due to that, would be rational to raise issue of disciplinary place of world-system analysis (WSA) to the social sciences, including political science (the core – political). Reviewing the last publications, we should note that there is limited literature about this issue. We might provide at least two rational explanations. Firstly, the topic is controversial and tricky because lies on the line of different social sciences. Secondly, the perception and interpretation of WSA is popular as sociological, economic and historic theory. At the same time, political part of WSA is quite often out of the focus. That is why, in the article will be considered sociological, economic, historic and political dimensions of WSA. For achieving this goal have been used a method of identifying causal relations and comparative method. For historic review of WSA, we have used articles from such scientists as Frank Ankersmit, Jacques le Goff, Julii Kagarlitskyi and Fernan Braudel. For economic part - Paul Krugman, Robert Inglehart, Andre Gunder Frank, and Michael Friedman. WSA as sociology was reviewed thanks to the Jurgen Habermas and Immanuel Wallertstein, as well as political dimension to Ian Shapiro, Ulrich Beck, Immanuel Wallertstein, and Klaus von Beyme. The ratio of world-systems analysis and various social sciences suggests specific nature of WSA approach. For all the above, still do not use on a world-system analysis are defined as political, economic, sociological or other separate disciplinary theory. For a reason that each discipline covers only part of the highlighted problems by WSA. Consequently, the economy, international relations theory, sociology and history have the same right to use WSA as a scientific approach, as well as political science. So better to mention world-systems analysis as separate scientific approach with its own agenda. This does not mean that it works out scientific discourse or does not react to external factors. In this context, world-systems theory, through theoretical and methodological foundation creates original composition theoretical tools. The latter, in turn, can be used in the areas of political, economic or sociological studies.
