William G. Martin's Semiperipheral States in the World-Economy
diverges sharply from past international labor division
interpretations of semiperipheral development. Martin emphasizes
the importance of each country's individual conditions. Linking
each example, however, is the theory that there is a relatively
rare set of conditions that make economic, political, and social
advancement of the semiperipheral states successful or even
possible. Martin and the contributing writers present the thesis
that mobility of semiperipheral states to the core world-economy is
a very rare phenomenon. Indeed, they even go so far as to suggest
that it is the very set of social and institutional ruptures that
were necessary to achieve semiperipheral status which often create
the social and political forces that prevent any further advance.
Economic pressure from core nations and intense competition within
the semiperiphery are cited as being foremost among these factors.
Such general topics occupy the first few chapters of the book,
while the later chapters examine specific semiperipheral countries
in depth. The final interpretation provides a better understanding
of this segment of the world-economy and of the transformational
possibilities of the capitalist world itself. Students of both
world-economy and the social and political conditions of the
semiperiphery will find this an invaluable study.
