If you like, examine a PowerPoint file of this model. Inequality of income within countries illustrates center-periphery relations also. Center dominates trade, controls the most advanced technologies, and has high levels of productivity within diversified economies.
Periphery has underdeveloped or narrowly specialized economies with low levels of productivity.
The Center-Periphery model consists of two parts which are found within each other. It has spatial AND socio-economic dimensions. Think of your own examples for each of the FOUR parts of the model. The Cp and both the Pc and the Pp must adjust to or try to exist as best they can on their own terms. Cuba and North Korea are two countries with the least relations hips with other countries.
