The Core-Periphery Model serves as a framework for analyzing global economic and political power. It divides the world into three regions: Core, Semi-periphery, and Periphery. Core regions are characterized by high socioeconomic prosperity and dominance in the global arena. In contrast, Periphery regions are less developed and dependent on the Core, lacking significant control over their own affairs. Semi-periphery regions fall in between, possessing more power than Periphery regions but still being influenced by the Core. This model helps to illustrate the complexities of global inequalities.
