Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement refers to the concept of "core-periphery" in world-systems theory, which posits that certain areas (the core) dominate and exploit other areas (the periphery). The lack of strong central governments and exporting raw materials are common characteristics of the periphery in this framework. Neocolonialism and imperialism also involve domination and exploitation, but they do not necessarily emphasize the structural relationship between different regions in the global economy. Colonialism, meanwhile, refers to past forms of direct political control by European powers over colonized territories.
