Abstract(s)
Desenvolvida da década de 1970 pelo renomado sociólogo Immanuel Wallerstein, a análise
dos sistemas-mundo propõe-se compreender o processo de mudança social através do
estudo de totalidades económicas e sistémicas. No que respeita ao mundo moderno, na
perspetiva do sistema-mundo, o capitalismo desenvolve-se no quadro de uma economiamundo cuja divisão social do trabalho, estruturada por relações centro/periferia, atravessa
as fronteiras políticas dos múltiplos Estados que alberga.
Com o propósito epistemológico de superar o Estado-nação como unidade de análise da
ação social, esta perspetiva fornece um enquadramento analítico com utilidade para
compreender melhor os fluxos de mão-de-obra, que assim podem ser perspetivados como
um processo influenciado pelas dinâmicas estruturais da economia-mundo capitalista.
Deste modo, além de perspetivar as migrações, em particular os fluxos de mão-de-obra, de
acordo com a perspetiva do sistema-mundo, esta dissertação pretende também demonstrar
a superioridade analítica desta perspetiva face às insuficiências das perspetivas
convencionais, maioritariamente herdeiras da economia neoclássica.
Developed in the 1970’s by renowned sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein, world-systems analysis seeks to understand the process of social change through the study of economic and systemic totalities. When it comes to the modern world, according to the world-system perspective, the capitalist mode of production develops in the framework of a single social division of labour, structured by core/periphery relations, which cuts across the political borders of the multiple states that it houses. With the epistemological purpose of surpassing the nation-state as the unit of analysis in which social action takes place, this perspective provides us with a useful analytical framework to better understand labour flows, so that we can conceptualize them as a process influenced by the structural dynamics of the capitalist world-economy. Also, besides the conceptualization of migratory movements, especially labour flows, according with the world-system perspective, this dissertation seeks to demonstrate the analytical superiority of this perspective when compared to conventional theories, which mainly represent a byproduct of neoclassical economics’ stance on the subject.
