Globalization-the growing integration of economies and societies-continues to transform the work economy at a rapid pace. This new global economy links distant people and places so that what happens in one place influences what happens in another through networks of interdependence. Most people can identify the widespread changes caused by globalization but many disagree if the benefits outweigh the costs. This course in economic geography provides an excellent introduction to the world economy and a foundation for understanding our increasingly interdependent world.
