Answer 8

Egypt

Many African countries struggle with political unrest. Wallerstein’s world-systems theory can also be applied in the field of political geography to explain how powerful countries dominate weak ones for economic gain. For years, the United Kingdom exercised political influence in Egypt. In early 2011, a revolution began to unseat the longtime president of the country who took control after the British left. Analysts suggested that economic problems contributed to the political resistance. Incomes of Egyptians declined even as households spent more and more of their money on basic necessities, especially food. Why do you think economic and political problems can go hand in hand, especially in periphery countries?

Answer 9

Let's apply Rostow's model to a world country that is in the process of developing economically.
