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.
