4 The Significance of World-Systems Theory World-systems analysis has been enthusiastically hailed by some as an inspiration and a tour de force because of its wide scope (Janowitz 1977), but it is not without criticism. Indeed, it has generated considerable discussion, debate and disagreement, which often centre on its linear, vague or selective arguments, its lack of specific models and its epiphenomenal handling of cultural issues (Beck 2000; Chirot 1980; Janowitz 1977; Shackman 1994; Skocpol 1977).
The more ‘consent’ can be generated among the population, the more legitimacy dominant groups will have, and the less coercion they will need to apply. Like Gramsci, Althusser argued that the economic determinism of the capitalist mode of production was not enough to explain the class rule of the bourgeoisie and that ideology was not simply imposed upon subordinate classes by a dominant class. Rather, it is a dynamic process of production and reproduction (Rivkin and Ryan 2004). For Althusser, ideology has a material existence in that it always exists in an apparatus.
World-systems theory and cultural globalisation theories complement each other in providing a backdrop for discussions of ideological change; specifically, the former provides an integrated framework for looking at the state’s movement in the interstate system over a long historical ‘dureé’, while the latter offer perspectives to interpret the social and cultural implications of contemporary issues. When these two approaches are combined, they offer both macro and micro perspectives to investigate the issues under study.
