Uneven economic development in a globalized world

About this programme

The course takes its point of departure in various geographical perspectives on economic development, viewed at local, regional, national, and global scales. Based on key geographical concepts such as space, place, and scale, the course focuses on processes—from individual workers to global production networks—that contribute to globalization and uneven development. Particular emphasis is placed on the consequences of these processes for access to and use of resources, inequality, poverty, and redistribution. This integrated focus analyses power relations that extend across the globe in order to deepen knowledge and understanding of economic, social, and political justice.
