Description

Globalisation is changing the world, creating new geographies. This course examines the new forms of economic activity, social and cultural life arising from globalisation. Attention is given to the processes which are transforming places, whether urban or rural, and to the people within them. We also consider some of the creative, hopeful responses to the inequality, difficulty and distress associated with globalisation. Examples will be drawn from within and beyond New Zealand.
