Quizplus · Accepted Answer

State-based world-systems were characterized by a core-periphery structure in which the core states had greater economic and political power than the peripheral states. However, within the core states themselves, there were often significant inequalities between different groups such as the wealthy and the working class. In contrast, non-core polities often had more homogenous populations and fewer internal inequalities.
