description Immanuel Wallerstein’s name is attached to the development of a new way of practicing social science, world-systems analysis, which preceded the rise of Global Studies by nearly 20 years. However, the elements constituting the theoretical basis of the Modern World-System are the fruit of a slow elaboration during the 1960s. It is this path that this article retraces, drawing on both published and unpublished texts in Binghamton's Immanuel Wallerstein Papers from this pivotal period (1964–1970). Starting from a comparative perspective with a nomothetic aim on the modernization of national societies, Immanuel Wallerstein gradually detached himself from it in favor of writing the history of a global capitalist system. In this evolution, the reading of Fernand Braudel and contacts with the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme were decisive.
