Semi-periphery Nations

Semi-periphery nations are countries that occupy an intermediate position between core nations (economically powerful and industrialized) and periphery nations (less developed with weaker economies). They often have growing industries and some economic influence but still face challenges like inequality and limited global power. These countries serve as both providers and consumers in the global economy, helping to balance wealth and development levels across regions. Examples include Brazil, India, and South Africa. They act as bridges, benefiting from global trade while still striving for greater economic stability and development.
