摘要:Development was now posited as a systemic process, where core-periphery relations were the real development dynamic and core states were outcomes, rather than units, of development. Nevertheless, within the defi -nition of the 'world-system' (an antinomy of states and a single division of labor), states manipulated markets with varying degrees of success, com-prising the state-system hierarchy. The hierarchy is expressed geographi-cally, and understood phenomenally, in developmentalist terms (where core states monopolize the benefi ts of accumulation). Arguably, the geographical dimensions of the concept of the world-system produce a developmentalist reading of the unequal outcomes of the systemic process
