Question

Previous tossup - Next tossup

Note to players: specific terms required. These two terms name John Friedmann's model of polarized urban development. Samir Amin's concept of “delinking” calls for separating the economies of concepts described (15[1])by these two terms. Paul Krugman used these two terms to describe differentiated sectors of a country in the paper “Increasing Returns and Economic Geography.” A “semi-” version of one of these two concepts is added (15[1])in (*) world-systems theory. The existence of an exploitative relationship between these two regions is the common extension of the (10[1])Prebisch-Singer thesis and is the central contention of dependency theory. For 10 points, name these two conceptual regions in international political economy, one of which is wealthy and central, (-5[1])the other impoverished and fringe. ■END■ (0[1])

ANSWER: core and periphery [or center and periphery; prompt on Global North and Global South or developed and developing by asking “What are the terms for those concepts in dependency theory?”; reject "First and Third World"]
