Study Notes
Core-Periphery Model
- Describes economic development patterns across different areas.
- Core areas: high economic activity and development (capital cities, major industries, services, investment).
- Periphery areas: less developed areas surrounding the core, with decreasing levels of development, living standards, jobs, and services as distance from the core increases.
- Explains economic growth and resource distribution on macro and micro scales.
Sustainable Development Model
- Aims for economic and social development without harming the environment.
- Key concept: meeting current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their needs.
- Scientific knowledge and appropriate technologies are crucial for solving economic, social and environmental problems associated with unsustainable development paths.
- Equitable development: focused on economic and social development.
- Bearable development: focused on economic and environmental development.
- Viable development: focused on social and environmental development.
Disadvantages / Limitations of the Core-Periphery Model
- Multiple cores: some countries have multiple areas of influence, making core-periphery distinctions unclear.
- Multifunctional places: areas now engage in a mix of activities, blurring the lines between core and periphery.
Rostow's Modernization Theory
- Outlines 5 stages of economic development.
- Assumes all countries follow a predictable path to economic growth.
- Ignores cultural, political, and geographical differences between countries.
Stages of Rostow's Model
- Traditional Society: Primarily agricultural, limited technology/innovation, subsistence economy.
- Preconditions for Take-Off: Shift from agriculture to manufacturing, increased trade and profit, investments in infrastructure (transportation, communication). External resources/investment often needed.
- Take-Off: Rapid industrial growth, focus on manufacturing, significant shift from agriculture, requires profit from overseas trade.
- Drive to Maturity: Continued growth, diversified economy with more industries, technological innovation, rising standards of living, improved infrastructure and institutions.
- High Mass Consumption: High productivity and wealth, strong consumer culture, widespread access to goods and services, possibly focus on military/education/luxuries.
