Development and CooperationSummary: The impending war against Iraq will not be fought to rid the world of a tyrant, nor will it be waged for oil. That is the view of US sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein, who established an international reputation with his World System theory back in the 1970s. What the hawks in the US administration are really out to do, he claims, is simply demonstrate the superpower's supremacy. But will a war against Iraq do the trick?
