ECONOMIC CORE & PERIPHERIES Evolution of

Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution greatly impacted the areas it reached, but totally bypassed others Regions of industrial activity marked the earth’s surface, while others remained much the same before Location theory explains the locational pattern of economic activities by identifying factors that influence this pattern

Primary industry develops around the location of natural resources, such as the industrial belt in the British Midlands Secondary industry develops (as transportation improves), which is less dependent on resource location

The location of Secondary Industry depends on: Variable costs- energy, labor, and transportation is less expensive in some areas than others, attracting industries to develop Friction of distance- although secondary industry may transport raw materials to factories, the cost usually goes up as the distance of transport from source to factory increase. At some point, the distance is too great for practical transport Distance decay- largely because of the friction of distance, industries are more likely to serve markets of nearby places than those far away, As distance increases, business activity decreases until it becomes impractical to transport

The patterns formed by primary and secondary industries divide the world into regions based on their economic activity: core, semi-periphery, and periphery Wallerstein first used these terms in 1974 to promote dependency theory among nations, and many economic geographers now use the core-periphery model to describe economic spatial patterns in general

Core-Periphery Model Core regions have concentrations of primary and secondary industries, peripheral regions do not, and semi-peripheral regions have some industry but not as much as others Countries with core/peripheral distinctions: India, where high-tech jobs are growing rapidly in urban centers, as contrasted to peripheral areas that still adhere to traditional customs and occupations

Weber’s Model for the Location of Industries In his Theory of the Location of Industries published in 1909, German economic geographer Alfred Weber developed a model for the location of secondary industries Weber’s industrial model is often compared to von Thunen’s agricultural model because they are both examples of location theory that explain why economic activity is patterned as it is

Weber’s least cost theory explained location of industries in terms of three factors: Transportation- the site of industry is chosen based partly on the cost of moving raw materials to the factory and finished products to the market. Business owners look for the least expensive transportation costs Labor- cheap labor may allow an industry to make up for higher transportation costs. For example, a factory may relocate from the United States to Mexico, where transportation cost to market increase, but are more than made up by cheaper labor costs

Agglomeration- if several industries cluster (or aggloramate) in one city, they can provide support by sharing talents, services, and facilities. A resturaunt needs furniture and equipment, and the companies that provide those products have workers that bring business to the restaurant. All the workers need clothes that may be provided by a clothing store that also needs furniture and equipment and employs people that eat in the restaurant The point of agglomeration explains location of industry, but excessive agglomeration may lead to an increase in labor and transportation costs, leading to a process called deglomeration, or the exodus of businesses from a crowded area

Some economic geographers have criticized Weber’s model as too inflexible, particularly in considering costs over time The substitution principle suggest that business owners can juggle expenses, as long as labor, land rents, transportation, and other costs don’t all go up at one time If labor costs go up, they may be offset by a decline in transportation and rent costs, encouraging the owner to stay put This balancing of expenses allows a business to be profitable within a larger area than Weber’s model suggests
