process by which economic
activities evolved from
producing primary goods to
factories that mass-produce
goods.

22. What is Gross Domestic Product?
22

23. Gross Domestic Product is
the value of the total output
of goods and services
produced in a year.

27. C) Theories of Economic Development
27

28. What is the Modernization Model
28

29. The Modernization Model says
that the Industrial Revolution
was spurred by a combination
of prosperity, trade
connections, inventions, and
natural resources.

30

31. A few key points:
• According to the M.M., any country can reap
the benefits of modernization.
• Tradition is the greatest barrier to economic
development.
31

32. A few key points:
• Culture can discourage people from adopting
new technologies that would raise standards
of living.
• High-Income countries can help poorer
countries by encouraging them to control
population, increase food production, and
take advantage of industrial technology.
32

33. Rostow’s Stages of Development
33

34. • Industry expands.
High Mass • Luxury items become necessities.
Consumption • High Incomes, a majority of workers involved in the service
sector.
• Economic growth is widely accepted.
Drive to • The economy diversifies.
• Poverty is greatly reduced and material goods much
Technological more common.
Maturity • Cities grow, and modernization is evident in the core.
• International trade expands.
• People begin to experiment with producing
goods for trade with others for profit.
Take-Off Stage • A state industrial revolution takes place.
• Urbanization, technology, and production
increases.
• Life is built around families.
Traditional Stage • Very Limited Wealth.
• Subsistence Farmers.

36. What is Dependency Theory
36

37. Dependency Theory says that
the economic development of
many countries is blocked by
industrialized nations that
exploit them.
37

38. A Few Key Points.
• Dependency theory blames MCDs that control
or who once controlled LDCs through
colonialism.
• Argues that political liberation from
colonialism has not translated into economic
health.
• Dependency theory is largely an outgrowth of
Marxism.
38

39. Wallerstein’s Capitalist World Economy
Model
39

40. Core Countries
• Rich nations that fuel the world’s economy.
• Take raw materials from around the world and channel them
to North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan.
Periphery Countries
• Low-Income countries brought about through colonialism.
• Support rich countries by providing inexpensive labor and a
large market for industrial products.
Semiperiphery Countries
• The rest of the world.
• More powerful than periphery, but still dominated in some
way by the core. 40

43. Part Two: Growth and Diffusion of
Industrialization
43

44. A) Before the Industrial Revolution
44

45. Before the Industrial Revolution
There were industrial centers before the late
18th Century but it was isolated. Most industries
were cottage industries.
Examples:
Chinese Silk Factories
Metal Workshops in India
45

46. What is a cottage industry?
46

47. Cottage Industries are home-
based manufacturers where
people manufacture tools and
agriculture equipment for their
own communities.
47

48. B) The Start of the Industrial Revolution
48

49. The Early 18th Century
Early factories in Great
Britain during the 18th
Century were run by
water running down
slopes.
49

50. The Most Important Invention
In 1769, James Watt built
the first efficient steam
engine. This was the most
important invention to the
Industrial Revolution.
50

51. What is the Industrial Revolution?
51

52. The Industrial Revolution was
the process of technological
change that started in the late
1700s that transformed how
goods were produced and
obtained by the people.

The United States (1790s) because of revolution and strife (ie. French
Revolution, Napoleonic Wars)
Italy, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden
(late 1800s)
The United States entered the IR later
than Belgium and France but
expanded more rapidly.
The Middle East and Africa Asia, Middle East and Africa (Mid 20th Century)
entered the IR because of WWI
and the need for oil.

57. Part Three: The Evolution of Economic Cores
and Peripheries

59. Why do you think that some places
were affected by industrialization
while others were not?

61. A) Location Theory
61

62. What is Location Theory?
62

63. Location Theory explains the
locational pattern of
economic activities by
identifying factors that
influence this pattern.

67. What is the Least Cost Theory?
67

68. Alfred Weber’s Least Cost
Theory is a theory that
explains the location of
industries based on
transportation, labor, and
agglomeration.
68

69. Transportation
The site chosen must entail the lowest possible
cost of A) moving raw materials to the
factory, and B) finished products to the market.

among transportation modes is
possible.

80. Location Interdependence
Theory is a theory that
explains the location of
industries based on the
location of their competition.
80

81. Variable Revenue Analysis
The ability of a firm to capture a market that will
earn it more money and customers than the
competition.

84. Part Four: Contemporary Patterns in
Industrialization
84

85. A) Globalization and Infrastructure
85

86. How Does Globalization Affect
Industrialization?
• Every country’s development is dependent on
the rest of the world.
– With the increase of Space-Time Compression, it
is possible to locate businesses in places not
before considered.
– The Internet has made it possible for markets to
exist where they have not before.
– In order to accommodate global industrialization a
country must develop infrastructure.
86

87. What is infrastructure?
87

88. Infrastructure includes services
that support economic
activities. It provides for
transportation, communication
, education, and other external
needs of a company.

• Rebuilt with the help of America after WWII.
North America
• The North American Manufacturing Belt extends from
Boston and New York through Philadelphia and Baltimore.
• The Southeastern District: Birmingham, Alabama to
Richmond, Va.
• Another: Oklahoma to Dallas, Houston, and New Orleans.
• Northern California: San-Fransisco
• Southern California: Los Angeles to San-Diego

mostly produces American
products.
99

100. What is the NAFTA?
100

101. NAFTA is the North American
Free Trade Agreement which
eliminated barriers to free
trade in North America.

102. Part Five: Global Inequalities
102

103. A) Challenges for More Developed Countries
103

104. Protection of Markets
MDCs are having to work to protect their
markets from newly developing countries. They
often do this by establishing Trading Blocs.
104

105. What is a trading bloc?
105

106. A Trading Bloc is a
conglomeration of trade
between regions.

115. Industrialization and Fossil Fuels
As more and more countries become
revolutionized, the need for fossil fuels grows
exponentially.
While we know how many proven reserves we
have, we do not know how many potential reserves
we have.
¼ of the world’s population consumes ¾ of the
world’s fossil fuels.
