Hydrocarbon Development in Western Siberia: A Fresh Look at the Core-Periphery Model

Hydrocarbon Development in Western Siberia: A Fresh Look at the Core-Periphery Model - 2005.
35
Western Siberia is not often studied in geography. However it is extremely interesting as a full-scale laboratory of a case of spatial change in progress since its oil and gas resources have been developed. The region has made Russia one of the leading oil and gas producing countries and its economic function is now more industry-oriented. The territorial transition implies multi-temporal variations of spatial structures at regional, national and international scale. The core-periphery model is under challenge, but still shows strong resilience. Western Siberia, as a periphery, is becoming increasingly integrated. The spread of development is the main process occurring between the national core and western Siberia. Meanwhile, Siberia as a whole is less and less a homogeneous periphery. The backwash process dominates, and the gap between secondary cores and the rest of Siberia is widening.
