The theory of centripetal and centrifugal forces is
associated with political geographer Richard
Hartshorne. He argued that the integration of a state’s
geographical area involved two competing forces.
 Forces from within A state that unite it
 Forces that keep a country together
Centripetal forces unite a country . That country must
have centripetal forces of greater magnitude than the
centrifugal forces Nationalism, or the strong love of and
loyalty to one’s country, is also a powerful centripetal
force
 A strong common culture
 religion
 language
 history
 etc.
 A popular national hero
 Quaid-e-Azam In Pakistan
 Mao zedong In China
 A common outside threat
 a historical "enemy"
National identity is a strong centripetal force in the
political dimension. A popular way of showing national
identity is through the use of icons and expressions,
depicted in flags, national anthems, and sports teams.
These symbols reinforce a national awareness and instill
in the population a sense of pride and loyalty
Centripetal forces in the economic dimension unite a
country by ensuring the population that there are
sufficient resources to support the long-term stability
of the state
A first-class infrastructure would be a centripetal force
in a state. When there is a good transportation system
that is available to all citizens, all the resources of the
country are accessible, making life easier for the
everyone.
The excellent railroad system in India is an example of
a centripetal force in the economic dimension
The most commonly used
modes of transportation
in Pakistan are buses,
cars, bikes and railway
trains
Centripetal forces in the cultural realm can be the most
powerful unifying force all. Religion and language are
tied closely with culture and emote strong, sometimes
overpowering feelings of unity and are examples
centripetal forces within in a state. Hinduism in Nepal
and India brings people together as they feel a sense of
unity.
