    World System Theory Wrote by Wallenstein

    World system theory from 2021 divides the world into three categories: core countries that are highly developed, semi-peripheral countries, and peripheral countries that are peasant economies dependent on core countries. Most African countries are considered peripheral or semi-peripheral. However, the document argues Africa still has room for development, listing several factors: 1) introducing modern production methods in agriculture and industry, 2) improving productive forces like labor and transportation, 3) high investment ratios, 4) expanding internal and external trade through improved infrastructure, 5) populations willing to change values, and 6) large numbers of educated people. While challenges remain, African integration and cooperation can help advance development strategies.

    World system theory wrote by Wallenstein ,2021.

    He believed and described world is divided into


    three categories which are ,peripheral countries ,semi peripheral country and core country
    .According to Wallenstein the core countries are more developed compared to semi peripheral and
    peripheral . The core countries exploit the peripheral and semi countries. Most of the African
    countries are peripheral and semi peripheral countries ,he said this countries have peasant
    economy ,they depend on the core countries and also they are undemocratic , but now the world is
    changing this makes Africa still have a room for development despite many factors of the world
    system theory ,and the following are the factors which make Africa still having a room for
    development :

    INTRODUCTION OF MORDEN WAYS OR METHODS OF PRODUCTION IN BOTH AGRICULTURAL AND


    INDUSTRIAL SECTORS.

    According to Hyden,2003. The modern ways of production or method of production makes the
    whole process of productive easier. Example of modern ways of production in agriculture are
    indoor vertical farming ,automation and robotic ,livestock technology ,modern greenhouse
    practice ,precision agriculture and artificial intelligence and also the general ways of reducing
    wastes ,reduce the amount of materials ,capacity and manpower wasted in production .If at all this
    ways are used effectively, Africa will have a very developed continent .

    IMPROVEMENT OF PRODUCTIVE FORCES

    According to Marx, 1967.Productive forces are union of human labour and means of labour.
    Productive force include body and brain ,tool and machine ,mean of transportation, material,
    resource and equipment .so in order to develop we need to improve the productive force in term
    of labour ,mean of transport and others .for example Africa now days is improving every day in
    terms of means of production this can be revealed due to the increases in number of industries this
    shows that we have high technology which can help us to produce quality and more product which
    qualifies in the international market this make African countries to become more developed as life
    goes on, and not to decline in development as how the statement suggest.

    1
    HIGH INVESTMENT RATIO

    Since we allow investment, we still have a room for development. Having large number of
    investors is one of the factors for economic development as it provides employment, increase the
    government income finally stimulate the growth domestic product (GPD) of the individual citizen
    and a country in general. According to Cramer, sender, Oqubay, 2020.Goverment should promote
    a high investment ratio as an argent priority. Stimulating sustained high investment to gross
    domestic product (GPD) ratio is a fundamental to prospects for rapid and lasting growth and
    structural change. Example in Africa we have a lot of investor so we expect development.

    EXPANSION OF TRADE TO BOTH INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY

    Development can be improved due to improvement of infrastructure and transport facilities.


    According to Farde, 2011.He explained about local and market size matter. The survey result who
    clearly that the investment climate inside the zone specifically, infrastructure and trade facilitation
    is linked to program outcome. The data shows a strong correlation between infrastructure quality
    and level of investment, export and employment in zone. Trade facilitation show a similarly strong
    positive relationship with outcome. On the other hand, factor related to business licensing and
    regulation in the zone. Obvious if we come back to our Africa, we have modern infrastructure
    compare to those of old days and also good transport facilities this make external and internal trade
    easier thus leading us to development.

    WILLING OF PEOPLE TO CHANGE THEIR VALUE

    For a country to develop one of the important aspects is , her people should be thirst of
    development this will make the people of that country to have willingness toward development of
    their country .According to Lao ,2011.In research and development involvement of the people
    ,customer focus, development of core competencies , and establishment of collaborative .This
    desire generates action tendencies in individuals towards satisfying the desire .This can be easily
    noticed to African people most of them have a desire to make change for their country ,for example

    2
    upon we did not have fly overs but now we have them this reveals that African countries are willing
    to make change not to doom where it is in the national development .

    LARGE NUMBER OF EDUCATED PEOPLE

    One of the indicator of developing country is high number of educated people .During this era
    most of African country have large number of educated people .According to Majgaard,
    Mingaat,2012 .They said higher education in Africa has grown since 1990’s .Many African people
    have understood the importance of education in the development of their country, so people study
    in various course which may give output in developing their country .Because now in Africa
    education provision is high from primary ,secondary to higher education level this leads to many
    professionals in industries with high technology, so it leads to the development our countries.

    Therefore, the statement which says that “African has no room for development and thus it is
    doomed to end where it is now in terms of development “it is not true, so African still has a room
    for development with evidence from the above explained points. Even though there are many
    factors which slows down African struggling toward development some of this challenge are
    ;exploitation ,corruption ,conflict as well as competition in global market and global power .In a
    nutshell African should initiate strategies so as to take into account this categories os as to develop
    our countries and continent at large some of this categories are ;creation of zonal economic
    integrations which help themselves in borrowing and lending money and initiating different project
    some of these zonal integrations are AU,ECOWAS,SADCC,COMESA as well as EAC. Also unity
    among member state which could help them to fight against any enemies that need to slow our
    strategies.
