Abstract

In this chapter, an analysis of the nature and configuration of power of core states has been conducted. The use of the World Power Index has revealed the characteristics of the power of these states, allowing for the identification of three categories of countries: world powers, middle powers, and semicore states. These categories are crucial for understanding and predicting patterns of state behavior, contributing to the overall objective of the book to provide a comprehensive view of the national power and the international geostructure. Practical implications are highlighted by offering a precise understanding of national power, as well as a robust theoretical framework for future analyses in international relations. It is important to recognize that this analysis has limitations, as national power is dynamic and relative, necessitating ongoing updates and deeper research. This chapter is linked to the next, which explores the positioning of world powers, middle powers, and semicore states in the international geostructure.

Vorheriges Kapitel The International Geostructure of Power: A Trans-Structural Approach

Nächstes Kapitel The Core States in the International Geostructure

I’m grateful to Revista Austral for granting me permission to reuse material from the article titled “Semi-Core States: a new category for rethinking the structure of power,” which was published in Austral: Brazilian Journal of Strategy & International Relations, Volume 8, Issue 15 (2019), pages: 131–158. https://doi.org/10.22456/2238-6912.86492.

In his study, Jaime Estay finds in Raúl Prebisch “a very clear tendency not to mention the sources of his proposals, neither in the official documents of CEPAL that he elaborated—a question that could be linked to the nature of those documents—nor in the other materials that he wrote throughout his life” (Estay, 1995, p. 120).

According to Joseph Love, “Prebisch does not remember the knowledge of Sombart's text at the time of his initial use of the terms ‘core’ and ‘periphery’ but, even assuming that he was inspired by Sombart, Prebisch would have had more than a striking metaphor, since Sombart only used center and periphery in a few scattered paragraphs” (Love, 1996, p. 26).

In the opinion of Francisco Zapata, Ernst Wagemann (1884–1956) “can be considered the father of the idea of ‘periphery’” (Zapata, 2001, p. 146), he considers that his ideas had a significant impact on Latin American economic thought. For his part, Joseph Love argues that Raúl Prebisch, quite possibly, had known the work of Ernst Wagemann, who “directed the Institut für Konjunkturforschung in Berlin and became an important apologist for the Grossraumwirtschaft [great economic space] of Hitler in the late 1930s. In Struktur und Rhythmus der Weltwirtschaft (1931), Wagemann used ‘central cycle’ (zentrische Konjunktur) to designate movements of monetary income within a given country and ‘peripheral cycle’ (periphere Konjunktur) to designate capital movements in the international arena. In this way Wagemann used a core-periphery scheme in connection with a cyclic movement, but not in the sense that Prebisch shared with Sombart” (Love, 1996, p. 392).
