Which of the following best explains the diffusion and successful cultivation?

the world economy has a three-tier structure:
-core: where one is most likely to find higher levels of education, higher salaries, more technology, better rights, and generates more wealth in the economy = Western Europe, East Asia, US, Netherlands, Japan (& South Korea)
-semi-periphery: places where core and periphery processes are both occurring (BUFFER) = UAE, Saudi Arabia
-periphery: processes associated with low levels of education, salaries, technology, and generates less wealth in the economy = South America, Africa, and Central Asia

core exploits the periphery deliberately so that it stays that way
-takes cheap labor, resources, etc.
-kind of like old imperialism
-semi-periphery can exploit periphery too b/c have more power

different regions separate into subnational levels of government (not central)
-occurs when: states fragment into autonomous regions (Native American Reservations), subnational political-territorial units (Canada, Spain, Belgium), states disintegrate (Eritrea used to be Ethiopia, South Sudan used to be part of Sudan)
-causes: physical geography, ethnic separatism (India and Yugoslavia), ethnic cleansing, terrorism, economic (Italy; North Sea oil and Scotland/UK - locals want resources by GB want for whole country), social problems, irredentism
