the prevalence of profitable industries or activities:
core, semi-periphery, and periphery.
Countries tend to fall into one or another of these
interdependent zones core countries, semi-periphery
countries and the periphery countries

19. Core countries are dominant capitalist countries that exploit peripheral
countries for labor and raw materials, while Semi-periphery countries
(sometimes referred to as just the semi-periphery. It plays a major role in
mediating economic, political, and social activities that link core and
peripheral
areas, and Periphery countries fall on the other end of the economic scale.
These countries lack a strong central government and may be controlled by
other states. These countries export raw materials to the core countries, and
they are dependent on core countries for capital and have underdeveloped
industry.
