Periphery and core apply specifically to the West. Poor countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia can hardly be called periphery.

I actually had no idea there was such a specific meaning for these terms! I just liked the idea of moving it away from a geographic marker because in many poor countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia there are very wealthy people and groups that benefit from Western neoliberalism.
