Of course. What's constant amongst these countries, though, is the relationship between the center and the periphery, the relationship of domination and subordination. In addition, some countries are more peripheral than others.
In any event, core/periphery is a theoretical concept, aimed at helping us understand what's going on. There are few if any theoretical concepts that correspond exactly to empirical reality.
