Abstract

Tokom decenijskog naučnog rada Imanuel Valerštajn dosledno razvija svoj teorijski sistem: svet je istorijski i prostorno nedeljiva celina, a na ruševinama raznolikih svetskih carstava izrastao je svetski kapitalistički sistem. Svaki sistem, pa i kapitalistički, jeste istorijski – ima svoj početak i kraj, a prostor u kome se razvijaju civilizacije je nedeljiv, univerzalan. Odgovarajući na pitanje čime se u svojim istraživanjima bavi, Imanuel Valerštajn odgovara da su to istorijske društvene nauke: društvene u smislu ukupnosti i celovitosti, a istorijske u smislu cikličnosti i prolaznosti. „Kada me pitaju čime se bavim, danas odgovaram da moj rad obuhvata tri različita područja. Prvo, analiziram istorijski razvoj savremenog svetskog sistema. Drugo, pokušavam da analiziram strukturnu krizu u kojoj se ovaj svetski sistem sada nalazi. I treće, pokušavam da analiziram krizu strukture znanja, koja je delimično strukturna kriza savremenog svetskog sistema, ali i kriza koja iziskuje posebnu i sveobuhvatnu analizu ¬[...] Ovo trojstvo zadataka je ono čime se bavim. I najbolji kratak opis ovog zanimanja jeste da sam ja naučnik u oblasti istorijsko-društvenih nauka.” Njegov opus počiva na idejama, a ne ideologiji poput one o Kraju istorije čiji su protagonisti tvrdili da je dosegnut najbolji od svih mogućih svetova – kapitalistički. Na poziv potpisnika ovog rada da za srpske čitaoce pripremi izbor svojih novijih radova kojim bismo u Srbiji obeležili njegov jubilej – 85 godina života i rada – profesor Imanuel Valerštajn se rado i spremno odazvao na naš poziv. Ima u tome možda i simbolike jer je Socijalistička Federativna Republika Jugoslavija tokom svog uspona i pada umnogome potvrdila utemeljenost Valerštajnove teorije.
