Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Periphery nations are those that have a subordinate position in the global economy and depend on exports of raw materials and low-skilled labor. Their economies are structured in a way that disproportionately benefits capitalists in the core who extract resources and exploit their labor. This perpetuates a cycle of underdevelopment and dependency, making it difficult for them to achieve industrialization and economic growth. Thus, periphery nations export to the core nations, but not to the semiperiphery nations.
