Abstract

Social network analysis made world system theory be scrutinized quantitatively. Positional analysis of a network makes its social structure clear, comprehensible and explicit. Besides structure, possible causal dependency discovery among relations of a network is the one of the important issues in the network analysis. During this research, we accomplished a world system positional analysis, and intriguing results of this analysis were reported. In addition, we investigated possible direction of dependency between world trade and diplomacy.
