world-system, social inequality, types of global inequality, core of the world-system, periphery of the world-system, social inequality in modern RussiaAbstract
The article attempts to generalize the results of research into the problem of social inequality in the world-system approach. It is shown that the mechanisms of peripheralization of societies can have significant differences, which determine the levels of social inequality within societies and a decrease / increase in the gap in inequality with core societies. Based on the research of A. J. Bergesen and M. Bata, the types of connections between global inequality and inequality within countries were identified, and a model of the dependence of the dynamics of global and local inequality on the directions of capital movement in the world-system was built. The resulting theoretical constructs made it possible to carry out a brief interpretation of the situation in modern Russia.
