Geographical Perspectives on Globalization Final Exam
Course Introduction
This course explores the multifaceted impacts of globalization from a geographical perspective, examining how global economic, cultural, and political processes are reshaping places, regions, and spatial relationships around the world. Students will analyze the dynamic flows of people, goods, information, and capital across borders, considering issues such as migration, urbanization, environmental change, and the uneven distribution of resources and opportunities. Through case studies and critical discussion, the course highlights how local identities and landscapes are influenced by global networks, and how individuals and communities navigate the challenges and opportunities posed by an increasingly interconnected world.
