• Today, talk of the world-economy is so commonplace that it is unremarkable. Since intellectual challenges to existing perspectives arise from wider social movements, the decreasing salience of radical scholarship in the academy must also be traced to the rise of the neoliberal university, as well as to the rightward shift of many national liberation movements. Precisely because a world-systems analysis insists that world scale relational concepts to analyze empirical phenomena need to be continuously forged in the course of investigation rather than merely applying already formed concepts and methodologies. Here, Palat assesses the impact and limitations of a world-systems perspective after fifty years, considering the rise of neoliberalism and ethnic populism, and discusses its intellectual and institutional history.
