The Global Challenge, is an introductory unit that offers an insight into the social, economic, political and environmental forces shaping our 'globalised' world. It focuses on how these forces and processes contribute to global change in terms of new international divisions of labour, patterns of migration, industrial reorganisation and patterns of consumption. The unit examine how these global processes take shape at different geographic scales, and how people in different places respond to challenges that are global in scope; while some people and places may benefit from these changes, others may be disadvantaged. -- Course Website
