Three Tier Structure
Core Processes that incorporate higher
levels of education, higher salaries, and more technology
* Generate more wealth in the world economy
Semi-periphery Places where core and
periphery processes are both occurring. Places that are exploited by the core but then exploit the periphery.
* Serves as a buffer between core and periphery
Periphery Processes that incorporate lower
levels of education, lower salaries, and less technology
* Generate less wealth in the world economy
