periferalisaation

Peripheralization is a sociological and economic process by which certain groups, regions, or sectors are pushed to the margins of society or the economy. This process often involves the exclusion of these groups from central power, resources, and opportunities. Peripheralization can occur due to various factors, including historical, political, and economic reasons. For instance, colonialism and imperialism have historically peripheralized indigenous populations and marginalized their cultures and languages. In contemporary society, economic peripheralization can occur when certain industries or regions are deemed less valuable, leading to job losses, reduced investment, and decreased access to services. Peripheralization can also be a result of political decisions, such as the relocation of industries or the implementation of policies that favor certain groups over others. The consequences of peripheralization can be profound, including social exclusion, economic deprivation, and cultural erosion. Addressing peripheralization often requires targeted policies and interventions to promote inclusivity, equality, and sustainable development.
