Summary:

Jari Okkonen, Not only centres and peripheries – archaeological examples of peer polity interaction

The only explanation put forward for past socio-cultural change has been the centre-periphery model. It is not universally apposite, however, and it is certainly incorrect in cases that involve socio-political units interacting from equal premises and possessing equal resources. In the peer polity model mutual co-operation, competition and imitation are more important driving factors than the impact of distant centres.
