Answer 1

World systems theory divides the world economic system into a core, semiperiphery, and periphery.

Step-by-step explanation:

World systems theory sees the world economic system as divided into three categories: a core, a semiperiphery, and a periphery. The core countries are dominant capitalist nations that are highly industrialized and technologically advanced. They have significant resources and power in the global economy. The semiperiphery countries are middle-income nations that have some industrialization and resources but are not as dominant as the core. The periphery countries are low-income nations that rely on the core and semiperiphery for economic stimulus and resources.
