Document Summary
Geographic expansion, integration, and change: mini systems: the growth of early empires; the geography of the pre-modern world, mapping a new world geography. Places and regions are part of a "world-system" that has been created as a result of processes of private economic competition and political competition among states. The idea of world systems was put forward by immanuel wallerstein. Today, the world-system is highly structured and is characterized by three tiers: core regions more developed regions semi peripheral regions. The world-system is made up of a nested set of cores and peripheries. Canada is simultaneously part of the global core and semi-periphery. The evolution of the modern world-system has exhibited distinctive stages, each of which has left its legacy in different ways on particular places, depending on their changing role within the world-system. Tigris and euphrates rivers source for agriculture. The first evidence of domestication for food come for iroquois .
