Abstract

This work analyzes the development in World-System Theory as produced by the flow of appropriation of global surplus value through the international division of labor, creating the divisions between center, semiperiphery and periphery in the capitalist world-economy. It thus aims to explore how the global appropriation of surplus value in the capitalist world-economy produces variations in the level of development of its different regions. To this end, it contextualizes and conceptualizes its elements on its spatial and temporal dimensions. It defines surplus value and the form of its global accumulation, and in this sense explores the succession of capitalist hegemonies, in their dialectical relationship with the system's progress, enabling the approach to the international division of labor, and how the monopoly over finance and technologies allows the center of the system to consolidate a structure that ensures the transfer of capital and surplus value from the other regions to it. It follows that the development of a particular country or region in the capitalist world-economy depends on its ability to accumulate surplus value globally. Additionally, it is observed that the conditions imposed by the system structure prevent initiatives of autonomous development by its parts, being necessary to break with them for such a project to be possible

当代世界体系:对世界体系理论中关于发展的辩论的贡献

本文分析了世界体系理论的发展，它是由全球剩余价值的占有流动通过国际劳动分工产生的，在资本主义世界经济中创造了中心、半边缘和边缘之间的划分。因此，它旨在探讨资本主义世界经济中剩余价值的全球占有如何在其不同地区的发展水平中产生差异。为此，它在空间和时间维度上对其元素进行了语境化和概念化。它定义了剩余价值及其全球积累的形式，并在这个意义上探讨了资本主义霸权的继承，在它们与体系进步的辩证关系中，使国际分工成为可能，以及对金融和技术的垄断如何使体系中心巩固一种结构，确保资本和剩余价值从其他地区转移到它。因此，在资本主义世界经济中，一个特定国家或地区的发展取决于其在全球积累剩余价值的能力。此外，可以观察到，系统结构所施加的条件阻碍了其各部分自主发展的主动性，而要使这样一个项目成为可能，就必须与它们决裂

期刊介绍： AUSTRAL: Brazilian Journal of Strategy and International Relations was the first Brazilian journal in the area of International Relations to be fully published in English (2012). It is an essentially academic vehicle, linked to the Brazilian Centre of Strategy & International Relations (NERINT) and the Doctoral Program in International Strategic Studies (PPGEEI) of the Faculty of Economics (FCE) of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Its pluralist focus aims to contribute to the debate on the international political and economic order from the perspective of the developing world. The journal publishes original articles in the area of Strategy and International Relations, with special interest in issues related to developing countries and South-South Cooperation – its security problems; the political, economic and diplomatic developments of emerging countries; and their relations with the traditional powers. AUSTRAL is published semi-annually in English and Portuguese. The journal’s target audience consists of researchers, experts, diplomats, military personnel and graduate students of International Relations. The content of the journal consists of in-depth analytical articles written by experts (Professors and Doctors), focusing on each of the great continents of the South: Asia, Latin America and Africa. Thus, the debate and diffusion of knowledge produced in these regions is stimulated. All contributions submitted to AUSTRAL are subject to rigorous scientific evaluation.
