2. Cooper et al. (1993) advocate the use of "world-system" (hyphenated) when referring to the conceptual framework of Wallerstein, and world system (unhyphenated) when referring to the study of capitalism as a system of world scale.

5. These positions are explicitly derived from Marx's writings on what Harvey (2001:237-266) has called "the geography of capitalist accumulation.".
6. "the fundamental economic relationship of capitalism is constituted by the free labourer's sale of his [sic] labour-power" (Laclau 1971:25).
7. I am explicitly not concerned with extensions of world systems models to non-capitalist systems of multi-polity, interregional interaction (e.g., Blanton and Feinman 1984;.
8. Wallerstein (e.g., 1988) has argued that local effects are largely an epiphenomenon of world system penetration. This position does not resolve questions of appropriate analytical scale or the role of local agency.
