Semi-peripheral countries

Semi-peripheral countries are nations that fall between developed (core) and developing (peripheral) countries in the world economy. They often have emerging economies, significant industries, and growing markets, but still face challenges such as inequality and political instability. These countries play a crucial role in global trade and can influence both core and peripheral nations. Examples include Brazil, India, and South Africa. Their position allows them to both benefit from global dynamics and also serve as a bridge between wealthier and poorer countries, contributing to global economic growth and development.
