Abstract:	The 'core-periphery' model, coined by John Friedmann and amplified by Edward Soja, appears to have come as a reaction against earlier theoretical approaches to regional development. For while former theories of regional development complement each other in many ways, and may each be relevant for specific kinds of planning analysis, none of them can be, as cogently. argued by Friedmann, accepted as a sharp tool for regional development planning in its comprehensive form. The primary purpose of this article is to outline the major themes of Friedmann's 'core-periphery' model, as incorporated with the amplifications and modifications of it by Soja, and to present it as a basis for discussion on patterns and processes of spatial development in Uganda. (Information for this study was gathered before the policy of 'indigenization of Ugandan economy' was implemented in August 1972.) Notes, figures.
