	Monthly Review: Center and periphery: reflections on the irrelevance of a billion human beings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The continuing underdevelopment of the periphery, resulting from the draining-out of raw materials, human resources, and profits, is a prerequisite for the continuing development and increasing affluence of the center.
		By contrast, the periphery is dependent and underdeveloped with a warped economic structure which leads to high levels of total or seasonal unemployment; in Britain it comprises the Celtic countries (Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland), much of northern England and the holiday colony of southwest England.
		A similar pattern is found in the dependent nations of the periphery, for within each of these nations wealth and power--and job opportunities--are concentrated in the great cities and a great gulf separates these from the impoverished back country which constitutes their periphery.

		The dynamic link between core and periphery positions is illustrated by intermediary contractors who are engaged in a training process with one manufacturer, and combine core and periphery characteristics in their economic and employment profile.
		Periphery firms also maintain a competitive pressure on core contractors: because trust links can easily form and dissolve, the frontier between core and periphery positions is blurred and core contractors continuously strive to maintain their quality-flexibility-pricing advantage.
		However, the dynamics supporting labour market segmentation appear to be reversed today: it is the periphery, and not the core, that is developing and influences the average evolution of wages and employment conditions.

	Around...planning the Periphery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In all these interventions the periphery is always comparable to a concrete geographical reality to which one directs oneself, towards which one travels, with the aim of appropriating it, of defining it.
		Once the concept of the periphery is considered as being obsolete, it is possible -and this is the chief theoretical contribution of this project- to recycle it, to convert the preposition "around" into a theoretical proposition that gives a number of new twists to the concept and explores its possibilities.
		The periphery escapes its geographical location and occupies the city's historic center, rural/natural surroundings, technological fantasies, the social utopias of postmodernity, etc. The periphery ceases to mean "around" as a physical location and becomes an invitation to reflection "around" the periphery as both concept and possibility.

	Situation of the French-speaking population living in the Brussels periphery
		The situation of the French-population living in this periphery must be evaluated in its overall context of Belgium’s constitutional development and the country’s complex linguistic arrangements, resulting from historical evolution and compromises reached after lengthy negotiations.
		However, the big majority drew the attention to the fact that the linguistic boundaries were fixed in the 1960s before the revision of the Constitution in 1970, that is to say, with a simple majority only (the need for a special majority to change these borders was not inscribed into the Constitution until 1988).
		This action plan aims at reinforcing the Dutch-speaking character and culture of the Flemish periphery and at fighting the social exclusion of the autochthonous population, especially in the six communes with facilities.

		Thus the relationship between center and periphery and metropolis and satellite is one in which exploitation occurs and provides a structure by which surplus is transferred from one geographical region to another.
		The ruling groups in the periphery in alliance with those of the center create environments in the former in which few employment opportunities are available to workers and yet peasant farmers lack access to the quantity and quality of land needed to maintain their family's livelihood.
		The final characteristic is that the relationship between center and periphery is one of dominance of the latter by the former and this dominance is reinforced via financial dependence.

		With enough difficulty involved in defining the periphery of the civilization, this type of nationalistic relocation of the center of the Indus Valley civilization is not only asking for trouble, it is absurd.

	JWSR-v6n1-Eric Cline
		We may consider the term "contested periphery" as having geographical, political, and economic implications, since the affected region lies between two larger empires, kingdoms, or polities established to either side of it.
		I would propose that "contested peripheries" are also likely to be areas of intense military activity, precisely because of their geographical locations and constantly-changing political affiliations.
		What keeps such an area a "contested periphery," rather than being permanently incorporated by one of the flanking cores, is that for whatever reason(s) neither of the neighboringcore regions is able to fully incorporate it as its own periphery.

	Situation of the French-speaking population living in the Brussels periphery
		The situation of the French-speaking population living in this periphery must be evaluated in the overall context of Belgium’s constitutional development and the country’s complex linguistic arrangements, resulting from historical evolution and compromises reached after lengthy negotiations.
		The current conflict seems to have been sparked off by an increased tendency of the Flemish government to restrict as far as legally possible the use of the linguistic facilities, with the aim of reinforcing the Flemish, Dutch-speaking character of the region, including the six communes in question.
		The Assembly reminds all parties concerned that the decisions of the different conflict resolving mechanisms (for example, the Permanent Linguistic Control Commission, the Deputy Governor of the Province of Flemish Brabant) and the courts (for example, the Court of Arbitration, the Council of State, the European Court of Human Rights) should be respected.

	FRANCO MORETTI - MORE CONJECTURES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Replying to critics of his ‘Conjectures on World Literature’ (NLR 1), Franco Moretti considers the objections to a world-systems theory of the relations between centre and periphery in the sphere of the novel or poetry, and proposes some new hypotheses about the morphology of forms and the politics of comparative literary studies.
		By reducing the literary world-system to core and periphery, I erased from the picture the transitional area (the semi-periphery) where cultures move in and out of the core; as a consequence, I also understated the fact that in many (and perhaps most) instances, material and intellectual hegemony are indeed very close, but not quite identical.
		The central morphological point of ‘Conjectures’ was the contrast between the rise of the novel in the core as an ‘autonomous development’, and the rise in the periphery as a ‘compromise’ between a Western influence and local materials.

	JWSR - Volume II - Article
		In sum, anthropologists have retained a concern with the designations of core, periphery and semi-periphery, and there is a general expectation that core polities exert a dominance over peripheries that ultimately results in the extraction of goods from the periphery.
		As Wallerstein notes of all empires/economies, their basic purpose is to appropriate the wealth and resources of the periphery and to concentrate these in the core, and they accomplish this through the control of peripheral populations.
		The empire was a bounded, self-contained system with recognizable core, semi-periphery and periphery characterized by an uneven flow of goods and services from periphery to core that in turn structured economic and social organization of all polities involved.

		They are encounters with your periphery; just as if you engage visually straight forward and notice, continuing to view straight forward, your peripheral vision, physically the edges shall appear blurred.
