The concept was first introduced into economics as "centre-periphery" by [[Raúl Prebisch]] in the 1950s, but the origin of the idea could ultimately be traced back to [[Johann Heinrich von Thünen|Thünen]]'s ''Isolated State'' (1826).<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Rama |first1=J. |last2=Hall |first2=J. |year=2021 |title=Raúl Prebisch and the evolving uses of ‘centre-periphery’in economic analysis |journal=Review of Evolutionary Political Economy |volume=2 |issue=2 |pages=315-332}}</ref>. Observed trade flows and diplomatic ties among countries fit this structure. [[Paul Krugman]] (1991) suggests that when transportation costs are low enough manufacturers concentrate in a single region known as the core and other regions (the periphery) limit themselves to the supply of agricultural goods.

The "centre-periphery" model was classically developed by [[John Friedmann]] in 1966 in his book ''Regional Development Policy: A Case Study of Venezuela''.<ref>{{ISBN|978-0262060134}}</ref>
