| الملخص: | The category "periphery" is useful for describing positions in the international system. The analytical content however, is limited: Under capitalist conditions, overcoming "underdevelopment"/peripheral positions in the world system do not depend on the availability of surplus.

With regards to the MENA region, this "East Asian strategy" seems unfit because of limited capacities in wage goods production, especially food. |
