"World-systems theorists originally conceptualized global power relations in terms of core (metropolitan) capitalist states and their weaker underdeveloped dependants in the periphery. The concept of the semi-periphery was subsequently devised in recognition of the inadequacy of the bipolarity of the original formulation. It referred to those nation-states which were neither core nor peripheral but somewhere in between. These societies remained dependent, and to some extent underdeveloped, despite having achieved significant levels of industrialization. Examples include Greece and Ireland."
Reference checks have indicated that the information in the article is unreliable. On hold for seven days for the article to be checked by an expert on the subject. SilkTork * YES! 12:25, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Article needs checking by an expert. SilkTork * YES! 09:06, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
This topic is in need of attention from an expert on the subject. The section or sections that need attention may be noted in a message below. |
The sources I checked did not support the comments in the article. In particular "The term semi-periphery originated in the thirteenth century" is not supported by the source, and appears to be a misreading of the source and, from my understanding, a misunderstanding of the concept of the topic. I feel that the article is unreliable and needs an expert in the subject to go through and check it. SilkTork * YES! 11:11, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
