What does /his/ think of world-systems theory?

Literally what
>>1011109
>Australia more core than China
>>1011105
True in the 70s maybe?
Couldn't you just use this map?
I don't understand how this map works at all. South America, East Asia and Oceania makes no sense.
>New Zealand

Culturally, Australia contributes more to the world than does China.
/his/ not sure how political science or economics works: The Thread
>>1011141
You are retarded right? You know there are chinese communities literally everywhere in the fucking world, you think 1.7 billion people have less cultural effect on the world than a country of 23 million people? That's quite literally the definition of being retarded. Please, apply yourself.
>>1011141
China produces 17% of the world's GDP. Australia, barely above 1%.
>>1011141
By culture you mean shitposting right?
>>1011141
"contributing to world culture" does not mean the same thing as "having recognizable stereotypical traits in anglophone media."
>>1011255
Yeah but what the fuck does it have to do with this thread?
>>1011260
The map is fucking retarded, who cares.
>>1011105
It does make sense. I prefer John Micheal Greers explanation far more though.

He's gone full Trumptard recently.
The empire series is pretty solid.
How do you feel about peak oil btw?
>>1011285
And by Trumptard you mean what exactly? Not gonna siphon through all that wall of text.
>>1011293
He's a really good writer. His last two articles have been talking about how race and social class intersect in America. He likes Sanders as much as Trump desu. He just hates Hillary for some strange reason.
>>1011105
The theory is fine. The map is retarded.

>Culturally, Australia contributes more to the world than does China.
>>1011309
Not hard to see why desu. She's got a history of warmongering and fucking over the poor - she offers a class-conscious guy like that nothing but empty promises.
>>1011141
What are some Chinese cultural exports that i as a westerner use? And no, the screws on my keyboard are not a cultural export.
>>1011756
Well China caused Valve to change a whole hero in Dota from a skeleton into something else that's something
>>1011756
Well they are starting to get Hollywood to pander hard towards the Chinese market.
>>1011798
What are the odds that Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will be nearly as good as the first one, since the Chinese hated GotG?
>>1011309
Probably because Hillary is a warmongering asshole who has a long history of being an incompetent leader.
>>1011888
If you're counting celebs then surely the countless martial arts movies are cultural exports?
>>1011901
I dunno, what are Chinese martial arts movies that are popular in the west? Ones that are made in China, i mean. I don't think U.S made movies with Jackie Chan count as Chinese pop-culture.
>>1011715
No Montenegro either.
>>1011141
yeah but Australia is KHAN'D
>>1011781
That's not true, Skeleton King was in the game for ages while it was released in china. The reason it was changed is (like Windrunner) because Blizzard are spastic fucking shits.
Otherwise expain why Naix just has a different model?
>>1011105
Is this pic from 1999/2000?
Because I'm unsettled by Serbia and Montenegro, Guyana, Suriname, and that place Morocco occupied being classified as Other*
Is the * under international blockade? If so why isn't NK in there.
>>1011105
Anglocentric crap.
>>1011756
tea, chinese food, china (dishware)
conversely i can't think of anything i use from australia
>>1011105
Eastern Europe btfo

>i can't think of anything i use from australia
>A method developed by CSIRO researchers used to "unsmear" radio waves that echo off indoor surfaces was patented. This method has caused WiFi to be attributed as an Australian invention
>>1012297
if you're right about the year, DPRK would be considered peripheral possibly because of support of China? the map is dumb because the world is bipolar still (maybe tri-?). the non-western poles are just much weaker, but there are common interests in countries like Syria, Iran, Russia, China, Pakistan, etc.
>>1014927
>Tea
Eh, the ingredients for tea is from China sure but i think Turkish tea and view it is more of an turkish product than Chinese.
>Chinese food
I've always been under the impression that Chinese fast food restaurants in the west aren't really Chinese food
>>1017687

>all the western US-aligned capitalist states, no matter their actual economic influence, are core
Gee I wonder if there's an agenda here
>>1011141
I love how much aussies hate Asian people.

>Culturally, Australia contributes more to the world than does China.
Does Australia even have a culture? At least fucking America managed but Aussie culture is pretty much "working class Britain: the country."
>>1018053
Australia's a lot sunnier, and they're better at cricket
>>1017704
Like South Korea, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Philippines, Taiwan, Colombia, Poland, and the Baltics?
>>1011122
Because that map is wrong.
Moldova's Pib is 5x superior to that map and its still the worse in europe.
