Which arguments of the DW authors exemplify WST’s explanation on ‘development’? (Find from DW articles)WST explains:1.World system (WS) represents a hierarchy of power2.Core’s control of the global market is through the established territorial division of labor reinforced by the World system 3.The system reinforces unequal trade relations between core and peripheral countries, which increases differential flow of surplus to the Core4.Ownership of advanced technology is a central factor in the positioning of a region in the Core or the Periphery.
5. New Division of Labour (NDL): Periphery does labor-intensive and the Core does capital-intensive production
