Uneven economic development in a globalized world 7.5 credits

About the course

The course is based on various geographical perspectives on economic development, which can be examined at local, regional, national, and global levels. Drawing on key geographical concepts such as space, place, and scale, the course focuses on the processes from the individual worker to global production networks that contribute to globalization and uneven development. Emphasis is placed on the consequences of these processes for access to and use of resources, inequality, poverty, and redistribution. This integrated focus analyses power relations that extend across the world to deepen knowledge and understanding of economic, social, and political justice.
