• Carl Sauer: cultural landscape

• Thomas Malthus: population growth faster than food supply

• Rostow: stage of economic development

• US economist Walter Rostow, argued that countries would progress through five stages

Progressive stages of economic growth.

Rostow Model

Strength of the Modernization model:

• Over the long term, all countries are capable of development.

• It has proved to works for some countries: Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan (Asian Dragons) the American South, Czech Republic, Ireland

Rostow’s model did not account for regional constraints

• Wallerstein: core-periphery model

• Immanuel Wallerstein, a leading advocate of the approach characterizes the world system as a set of mechanisms which redistributes resources from the periphery to the core.

Dependency School of Thought/Model (1970s). Sees low development levels as

being a result of the LDCs economic dependency on the MDCs.

Because farmers must pay to transport their produce to the market, and these costs are directly proportional to distance, the profit for each product declines as a straight line with increasing distance from the market

Weber’s least cost theory accounted for the location of a manufacturing plant in terms of the owner’s desire to minimize

three categories of costs. 1. Transportation

2. Labor

3. Agglomeration

Do Activity

Weber's model attempts to explain industrial location.

Weber used locational triangles to illustrate

the impact of transport costs on industrial location.

A. Transporting raw materials cost the

same as the finished product

B. Transporting raw materials costs less

than finished product (maybe finished

product delicate/more packaging)

C. Transporting raw materials costs more than finished product

(loss in bulk)

D. More of raw material from R2 needed than R1
