Review the discussion of Wallerstein’s Capitalist World
Economy (also known as World Systems Theory, WTS) in Chapter 13 Global
Stratification and the video on Globalization theories on page 3.1 of Module 3.
(I WILL SUBMIT SCREENSHOTS OF CHAPTER 13 & LINK THE VIDEO IN A WORD DOCUMENT)
As a territory, the United States Virgin Island (USVI) exist somewhere between being part
of the United States and being an independent entity.
What does the economy mostly rely on?
What type of “country” would the territory be classified as according to
WST if it was viewed separately from the mainland US economically and
politically? Why?
Where does the territory fit into the larger
global economic and political structure?
