T.P.M. Barnett did comment that "elections in the Core [the industrialized world, full of democracies and the like] are boring" and that elections in the New Core [emergent industrial economies] and Gap [hardly any economies at all], when available, are more life-and-death. With the strong implication that as the Gap develops enough to enter New Core (the Newer Core?) membership, elections will galvanize the populace less and less as they become more and more the stuff of routine.
