Can an area that traditionally has been a periphery area become a core area? What are some of the obstacles to this transition? What conditions would need to be met for this to happen? Begin your answer by providing your own definitions forcoreandperiphery. Illustrate your answer with reference to two different regions.
Thepaper by Stadel (2009)provides an extensive overview of the core-periphery model. You may use this article as one of your two external references.
Bone identifies four areas of tension or divisions in Canadian society that he argues threaten the regional cohesiveness of the country. Referring to one of the four faultlines he discusses (English/French, centralist/decentralist, Indigenous/non-Indigenous, and newcomers/old-Timers), what do you think the significance of this faultline is for Canada’s present and future? Provide an example from one region.
For each of the following photographs, make a suggestion for which of Bone’s regions you think it best represents, and provide a reason for your choice. Use concepts from the discussion about physical, historical, and social/economic/demographic characteristics in your explanation. (Note:It is possible that you might not identify the correct region where these photos were taken. What is important is that you identify a likely location, and back that up using characteristics that describe it as belonging to one region or another.) For this question, you are not required to use external references. Each photograph is worth 4 marks, for a total of 20 (1 mark for your identification of the region, and 3 marks for your reasoning and explanation).
