The countries of the world can be divided into two major world regions - the 'core' and the 'periphery.' The core includes major world powers and the countries that contain much of the wealth of the planet. The 'periphery' are those countries that are not reaping the benefits of global wealth and globalization.

The core-periphery model is based on the idea that as one region or state expands in economic prosperity, it must engulf regions nearby to ensure ongoing economic and political success. The core-periphery concept and model for Canada is based upon an unequal distribution of power in economy, society, and polity. The core is the dominating ‘central’ realm, while the peripheries tend to be isolated, dependent, and underprivileged.

Cores and peripheries can be defined by geographic, economic, social, cultural, and political characteristics. Core areas may develop in regions offering favorable geographic qualities, in particular superior transportation and communication conditions, an abundant endowment with resources, and a good access to population centers and markets. Some cores are rooted in historical-cultural locations of a specific significance, while others developed as a result of political decisions and administrative policies.

In Canada, the core-periphery relationship is a principal paradigm to discuss the regional geography of this country. Major contributing factors for the pronounced core-periphery contrasts are the large territorial size, the different physical environments, and the uneven access to resources, as well as the spatial discrepancies of population distribution, of secondary and tertiary employment opportunities, and of the transportation infrastructure.
