The global economy shapes the lives of people living across the developed and developing worlds. This unit explores the complex and geographically uneven dynamics of the global economy and considers how this affects patterns of economic and social development. It includes an examination of how the world economy is affecting the geographies of economic activity, employment, quality of life, and social structures, and considers how disparate places are often interlinked and interdependent. The unit also examines the implications of the geographies of development for policy and planning. -- Course Website
