Modernization:
Core Periphery Model of Development
Definition- The core periphery model of development states that as a given region grows and develops from a central starting point, the core, its development is bound to spread to and influence peripheral locations as it continues to expand.
Explanation- As a region expands it will eventually meet another region with a separate economy and or societal factors. In order to continue to grow a given region must “engulf” surrounding regions so that it effectively spreads from its initial core to the periphery, outlying locations. These outlying locations are either influenced or completely overcome by the new incoming governances that have spread from the initial core.
Example- The most notable example of the core periphery model of development can be seen in the development of countries. The MDCs centered closely together, such as in Europe and North America which act as a large core, have spread their influence throughout LDCs which comprise the periphery.
Dependency Theory
Definition- The dependency theory follows the tenants of the core periphery model of development, where the core continues to expand and influence the periphery. In the case of this model the core is represented by wealthier states and the periphery by states that are unable to further develop as a result of core influence.
Explanation- As wealthier countries continue to grow they hinder the development of peripheral countries. Resources flow from developing states to wealthy states and thus compromise the rate at which the first can grow. In this way less developed countries are dependent upon the more developed countries for a means of sustenance as they continually ship out their resources for the benefit of other states.
Example- Many states in Latin America are either fully dependent or somewhat dependent in the United States. In this case the United States is representative of the core while the periphery is represented by Latin America, primarily regions such as Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil which send many of their resources such as workers to the United States and therefore have less to advance their own economies.

Modernization Theory: Rostow's Five Stages
Rostow’s Growth Model
Definition- This growth model defines development of all regions as occurring in five stages of varying lengths dependent on a region’s rate of development. The five stages are as follows: Traditional society, Preconditions to takeoff, Takeoff, Drive to maturity, and Age of mass consumption.
Explanation- The tenant of this model is that all states move through these stages of development at varying rates. All societies are said to begin by devoting large amounts of time to nonproductive activity such as military and religion while many are employed in the agricultural line of work. Following the stage of traditional society, a small group begins to initiate economic activities that stimulate productivity by investing in technology and infrastructure. Next, a society “takes off” where a few of the industries that have been able to establish themselves gradually advance technologically while other sectors remain “traditional”. Then, according to this model, a state matures as technology that has developed in only a few sectors spreads to all others as productivity grows and workers becoming increasingly skilled and specialized. Lastly, a society shifts from “heavy industry” to the production of consumer goods.
Example- If the history of the United States were broken down into these five stages they would be as follows:
1) Colonial United States- Society is focused on establishing ownership of land and settling the country through agricultural, military, and religious means.
2) United States Early 1800s- Society begins to establish transportation networks and an infrastructure for the future.
3) United States During the Industrial Revolution- Industry expands rapidly as diffusion from Europe reaches the United States.
4) United States Early 1900s- The momentum generated by the Industrial Revolution drives other sectors of the economy to expand and workers to begin to specialize and become skilled in specific craft.
5) Present Day United States- The economy is primarily concerned with producing consumer goods such as automobiles.

Richard Nolan’s Growth Model
Richard Nolan’s Growth Model
Definition- This growth model concerns the growth of information technology within a business or organization. It is divided into six stages concerning the development of technology within a given organization including initiation, contagion, control, integration, data administration, and maturity.
Explanation- A business begins its movement through the Richard Nolan growth model as technology, primarily computers, is first introduced. Next, technology advances and becomes more widespread, followed by control mechanisms being put into effect in order to control spending. Then, users of computers and technology begin to further understand the usages of the devices and control them to a greater extent. Finally data administration is introduced and technology such as computers becomes more of a data resource than a machine.
Example- The typical example of information technology used to display this model is the computer, which, when tracked via this model, grows quickly into a data resource as control and utilization increase.
