Periphery
According to world systems theory, Mexico is a semi-periphery country, which means it is an industrializing, mostly capitalist country positioned between the periphery and the core countries. In this case, it lies between the United States and the rest of Latin America.It is also not part of the core countries (US, Canada, Western Europe, Japan) and it is not part of the periphery or less developed countries (most of Africa, South America or Southeast Asia).It is a gateway or semi-periphery country because it acts as a bridge or link between both worlds.

Core-periphery theory is the relationship between 2 countries, with the core being more developed while the periphery being the less developed.

Countries in the core of the world-system typically include the United States, Japan, and Western European countries. Countries in the periphery are often located in Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia, such as Cambodia or Bolivia. The classification of a country as core or periphery can change over time due to various economic and political factors.
Wallerstein's Model Consists of Core · Started in Europe · Have strong central governments with military support · Surplus money from periphery goes to core · Agricultural workers move to growing cities work in industry · International trade works in favour of core · May shift in size or even multiply Semi-Periphery, · Core's are in decline or Periphery's are growing stronger · Access to international banking is declining · Manufacturers goods (electrical or computer hardware/software) that have high value · Exploits the periphery countries Periphery· Most ownership of industrial output in the hands of core investment · No central, strong government · Surplus profits return to core · Raw materials sent back to the core for consumer markets · Inexpensive labour for extracting resources and for agriculture External Regions · Countries remain outside the world economy · Not controlled by other economic or political powers · Isolated contact with trading countries
