They may also start to exploit other periphery countries to continue to better themselves.

Periphery countries are those that exist on the outer edges of global trade.

There are several ways in which periphery countries are able to escape their poor status.

There are a variety of reasons that periphery countries remain the way they are.

Dependency theory scholars explain that this economic activity is detrimental to the economy of the periphery countries.

Periphery countries are known for exporting raw goods to core countries.

The periphery countries are unable to make any gains because of this relationship and it is therefore impossible for them to ever industrialize.

Recently some of the manufacturing has been moved to periphery countries but it is still controlled and owned by the core countries.

It is, however, possible for periphery countries to rise out of their status and move into semi-periphery or core status.

During the era of European imperialism, periphery countries were often set up as specialized producers of specific resources.

World-system theorists originally used only two categories: periphery countries and core countries.

There are, however, ways in which periphery countries can rise from their poor status and become semi-periphery countries or even core countries.

Some Neo-Marxists believe that it would actually be best for periphery countries to cut all economic and political ties with the core countries.

Once a periphery country does rise up to semi-periphery or core status it will be more dependent on other periphery countries for natural resources.

In some instances the exploitation of periphery countries' agriculture, cheap labor, and natural resources aid core countries in remaining dominant.

The periphery countries are the poorer countries usually specializing in farming and have access natural resources - which the core countries use to profit from.

Although these specializations brought the periphery countries temporary economic benefit, the overall effect inhibited the industrial development of periphery territories.

This occurs when the prices of exports from periphery countries decrease at a faster rate than the exports from core nations.

Two examples of periphery countries in the late 15th century and early 16th century are Poland and Latin America.

Germany would be imposing years of cuts on periphery countries whose governments and parliaments had effectively been turned into puppet-regimes of Brussels.

Fall 2008's design titled "Rat's in a cage" was an abstract depiction of the exploitation of labor in periphery countries.

The periphery countries only receive low amounts of money for what they sell and must pay higher prices for anything they buy from outside their own region.

World-system refers to the international division of labor, which divides the world into core countries, semi-periphery countries and the periphery countries.

Immanuel Wallerstein argues that the semi-periphery is important because it bridges the gap between the rich core countries and the poor periphery countries.

Because of this continuous order, periphery countries can never earn enough to cover the costs of their imports while setting aside money to invest in better technologies.
