Folk and country encompass borrowing techniques and styles from traditional music of his/her country. "World music" means the same thing, but from a different country/culture than the listener.
So while Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Sigur Ros may not sound similar, they belong in the same forum.

Hope that clears things up for ya. =)
