Immanuel Wallerstein - Unit of Analysis

Wallerstein's unit of analysis is of course the modern world-system - as one of many historical world-systems. And as a historical system which has of course temporary boundaries the main questions to ask about it are: how did it begin, how did/does it function, and how does it end; the answers to these questions imply of course a high degree of historicity, as there are no general answers for all world-systems.
