2. What is the Core Periphery Model? It was developed in 1963 by John Friedmann. The core periphery model shows spatially how economic, political, and cultural authority is dispersed in core or dominant regions and the surrounding peripheral and semi-peripheral regions.

3. The Core Periphery Model

4. The Core Countries in the Core: Europe (Not Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine), United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Japan, and South Korea. Countries in the Core have:  Higher Wages  Healthcare  More technologies  Sufficient food, water, shelter, supplies, etc.  Scientific Innovations Core countries possess many advantages like humans or resources but can also exploit colonies that they have for resources.

5. The Periphery Countries in the periphery are in Africa, South America, Asia (Not Japan or South Korea), and Russia. Countries in the periphery have:  Lower Wages  Less technological advancements  Reduced access to healthcare  Sometimes insufficient food, water, shelter, etc. There is massive population to keep up with the rural lifestyles that many in these countries have since they are lower in the Demographic Transition Model.

6. The Periphery Cont. Countries in the Periphery are usually characterized as poor and many times families live in slums instead or rural areas. There are low standards of living. Despite low living standards, there has been some improvement to several areas (mainly in China) that increase the lifestyle there. Also, many people in the Periphery are moving from the rural lands into urban areas creating megacities.

7. Colonization and the Core Periphery Model Many countries in the Core had or have colonies that they get resources from. Britain had many African countries as colonies and used a lot of resources which has created come conflict. Many countries like this got resources from the colony, processed it, and then sold it back to the periphery countries. The damage done by the Core countries have left the Periphery countries so far behind that it may be impossible to now compete in the global market.

8. Core-Periphery Conflicts The Demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. The border of the United States and Mexico to prevent illegal immigrants. Air and naval patrols between various countries Superimposed boundaries in many countries has created massive conflict as well. Not just global but local conflicts between wages and more.
