question

My name is Nina Eisenmenger and I am working as a junior 
researcher at the iff - institute for interdisciplinary studies of 
Austrian Universities, Department of Social Ecology. In one of the 
research projects I am dealing with the influence of international 
relations on the regional society-nature interactions. As analytical 
frame I am using the World System Theory.
During a first scan of the literature two questions arose that I would 
like to ask to you:
- I would need the citation of the literature where I can find a 
description of the theoretical concept of Wallerstein´s World 
System Theory. I have already some literature out of the Journal 
but I´m still missing the original work of Wallerstein himself. In the 
four books where Wallerstein is describing the historical 
development of the world system I could not find a passage where 
his theoretical concept is presented.
- secondly I would need some hints on empirical work especially 
with information on the indicators (economic and others) that are 
used in working on the World System Theory.

Thank you for your attention and I´m looking forward to your reply.
With best regards,
Nina Eisenmenger
