Answer

C

Explanation

"Open the social sciences" was the report authored by Immanuel Wallenstein. It first explores how social science was historically constructed as a form of knowledge and why It was divided into a specific set of relatively standard disciplines. It then reveals the ways in which world developments since 1945 have raised questions about this intellectual division of labour and have therefore reopened the issues of organisational structuring that had been put into place in the previous perlod. Finally, it discusses in what ways the social sciences can be intelligently restructured in the light of this history and the recent debates.
