Zambia’s History of Trading
History
Zambia is a landlocked country located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches
west of Angola and is divided towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the
southwest of this country is a territory known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of
which Zambia and three of its neighbors (Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet
at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead,
emeralds, and more. Zambia was colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in
significant numbers in the 19th century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for
export during the colonial period was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the
mining of this primarily natural resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s
numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners.

significant numbers in the 19th century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for
export during the colonial period was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the
mining of this primarily natural resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s
numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners. Zambia is a landlocked country
located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key

Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners. Zambia is a landlocked country
located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was
colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in significant numbers in the 19th
century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for export during the colonial period
was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the mining of this primarily natural
resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s numbers

exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners. Zambia is a landlocked country
located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was
colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in significant numbers in the 19th
century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for export during the colonial period
was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the mining of this primarily natural
resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.

this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners. Zambia is a landlocked country
located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was
colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in significant numbers in the 19th
century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for export during the colonial period
was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the mining of this primarily natural
resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.

southwest of this country is a territory known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of
which Zambia and three of its neighbors (Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet
at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead,
emeralds, and more. Zambia was colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in
significant numbers in the 19th century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for
export during the colonial period was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the
mining of this primarily natural resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s
numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners.

mining of this primarily natural resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s
numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners. Zambia is a landlocked country
located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was

During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners. Zambia is a landlocked country
located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was
colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in significant numbers in the 19th
century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for export during the colonial period
was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the mining of this primarily natural
resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.

from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners. Zambia is a landlocked country
located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was
colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in significant numbers in the 19th
century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for export during the colonial period
was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the mining of this primarily natural
resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.

located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was
colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in significant numbers in the 19th
century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for export during the colonial period
was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the mining of this primarily natural
resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners.

significant numbers in the 19th century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for
export during the colonial period was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the
mining of this primarily natural resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s
numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners.
Zambia is a landlocked country located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches
west of Angola and is divided towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the
southwest of this country is a territory known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of
which Zambia and three of its neighbors (Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet
at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead,

Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners. Zambia is a landlocked country
located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was
colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in significant numbers in the 19th
century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for export during the colonial period
was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the mining of this primarily natural
resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s numbers

their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners. Zambia is a landlocked country
located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was
colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in significant numbers in the 19th
century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for export during the colonial period
was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the mining of this primarily natural
resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.

this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners. Zambia is a landlocked country
located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was
colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in significant numbers in the 19th
century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for export during the colonial period
was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the mining of this primarily natural
resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.

towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was
colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in significant numbers in the 19th
century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for export during the colonial period
was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the mining of this primarily natural
resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners.

export during the colonial period was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the
mining of this primarily natural resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s
numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners.
Zambia is a landlocked country located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches
west of Angola and is divided towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the
southwest of this country is a territory known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of
which Zambia and three of its neighbors (Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet
at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead,
emeralds, and more. Zambia was colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in

and residency to have restrictions on nonnationals.
Analysis
During the colonial period, Zambia exported mainly copper, and their major trading partners
were the United Kingdom and other European countries because these colonial powers
controlled trade routes and economic activities. In 1972, Zambia still heavily relied on copper
exports but also included tobacco, maize, and agricultural products; they began to diversify
their partners including more African nations. These imports included heavy machinery and
manufactured goods. By 2022, Zambia’s trading partners have been extremely diversified
keeping copper its main exported commodity. Their imports still include machinery but now
include things like vehicles and petroleum products. Their new partners include China and
South Africa.
Wallerstein’s thesis states that in our global economy, there are specific countries that benefit
from other countries for labor and resources. This includes core nations exploiting peripheral
nations for raw materials and labor. Zambia’s trade patterns in 1972 are pretty consistent with
this thesis because Zambia was a peripheral nation and exported raw materials and imported
manufactured goods showing a division of labor. Therefore, Zambia’s trade patterns shifted
but still somewhat relate to Wallerstein’s thesis. Although Zambia has diversified its trading
partners and patterns, it still remains a large supplier of materials like copper exporting it to
China. There is a growing trade pattern in efforts to add value to local goods, and this shows
movement towards balanced trade patterns and partners. Zambia is a landlocked country
located in southern Africa. It has a long border that stretches west of Angola and is divided
towards the south by the Zambezi River. Towards the southwest of this country is a territory
known as the Caprivi Strip and “at the eastern end of which Zambia and three of its neighbors
(Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe) appear to meet at a point” (Roberts, 2024). Some key
natural resources include: copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, emeralds, and more. Zambia was
colonized by the British when “Europeans began to enter in significant numbers in the 19th
century” (Roberts, 2024). Zambia’s main product used for export during the colonial period
was copper. Zambia’s economy was heavily reliant on the mining of this primarily natural
resource. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s numbers
“steadily declined from about 40,000 in the late 1960s to about 2,500 in the early 2000s”
(Roberts, 2024). This decline was so prominent mostly because of the “process of
nationalization…of such key industries as mining” (Roberts, 2024). This caused employment
