The main editorial goal of the Journal of World-Systems Research is to 
develop and disseminate scholarly research on topics that are 
relevant to the analysis of world-systems. We especially want to include 
works that proceed from several different theoretical stances and 
disciplines. These include, but are not limited to, civilizationists, 
evolutionary approaches, international political economy, 
comparative, historical and cultural analysis. We seek the work of political 
scientists, historians, sociologists, ethnographers, archaeologists, economists 
and geographers

We especially encourage works that take theory seriously by confronting problems 
of conceptualization and making definitions of concepts explicit, by formulating 
hypotheses, constructing axiomatic theories and causal models. Theoretical 
research programs that combine theory construction with comparative research 
are badly needed to take the world-systems approach beyond the stage of a perspective.

We also want to encourage the application of comparative, quantititave and 
network-analytic methods to world-systems research, though we will certainly also 
publish pieces that do not use these methods. Any empirical study that is deemed 
relevant to world-systems analysis may be published even if it uses a very different 
conceptual framework.

And finally we also want to publish discussions of future trajectories and options 
for the modern world-system and considerations of what can be done to create a more 
humane, peaceful and just world society.
