Abstract

The Modern World-Systems Theory in which Core – Peripheral Theory plays a role of major approaching method to explore the real relationships which have created the world today. It is one of the most massive theories on social sciences in the 21st century. And Wallerstein, who is the famous American socilogist,  developed this theory.

The Modern World-System Theory was described, analyzed and evaluated in the book “ Modern World – Systems” with total 4 volumes. In the book, the world – system theory is linked with the Core and Peripheral theory, hence, this book is normally called as “Core – Peripheral Thoery”.

Dicussing about the approach method, there is many people have misunderstood the system of Bertalanfly and Wallerstein in Vietnam. “Core and Peripheral theory” is in the same case because these concepts are not totally considered as concepts of “Core – Peripheral” which was used by Wallerstein as a tool concept in his Modern World – Systems Theory. 

This article is expected to improve the above situation.
