    • Examples: US, TW, and other countries interconnected via trade, finance, and cultural exchange; and North Korea's isolation.
    • Regional: Includes parts of continents. Examples: West and East EU.
    • National: Activities within a nation. Examples: Human flow, flow of people, shifts in population. Note, this is not a state level activity.
    • Urban vs. Local: Activities within cities, and in small towns or rural regions. Examples: cities like London, Rust Belt in U.S., or empty areas in France.

Economic Inequality

  • Global disparities exist.
  • Factors contribute to inequality (e.g., jobs, investment, infrastructure).

Policy Challenges

  • Government policies influence global and local trends.
  • Examples: Economic policy decisions impacting global inequalities.

Globalization's Restructuring

  • Changes in economics, sociology, and politics.
  • Examples: The shifting of manufacturing from the U.S. to other countries; the tertiarization of economies, and the growth of cities.

Unequal Development

  • Developed vs Developing Countries:
    • Developed countries have already developed global trade & infrastructure and skilled labor. Developing countries often concentrate on lower labor costs to move up the economic ladder.
    • Barriers to trade (e.g., tariffs, regulations) created by developed countries.

Developed Countries

  • Industrialized nations that have developed global trade relations, infrastructures and skilled labor.
  • Established policies to protect their own markets

Developing Countries

  • Often rely on raw materials, such as Ivory (e.g., from C.A. African nations), and remain in a position of dependence on developed countries.

Regional Exclusion

  • Regions that are excluded from the global economy.
  • Ex: DRC, due to limited investment.

Urban vs. Rural Areas

  • Unequal development trends from urban to rural areas within nations.
  • Urban areas increasingly attract investment & focus of economic activity. Rural areas experience slower growth & depopulation.
  • Examples: Uttar Pradesh, Bangalore, Delhi, industrial corridors

Keys to Attracting TNCS

  • Institutions, infrastructure, economic stability, education, and health
  • High education/training, skilled labor, quality goods & services, and market size
  • Examples: SEZs in Shanghai, US-MCA (free trade agreement).

Hierarchy of Cities

  • Top-tier cities: Economic hubs and centers for global decision-making.
  • Secondary hubs: Emerging markets, manufacturing hubs, technology centers.
  • Examples: Shanghai, Dubai, Sao Paulo.

Globalization: Is Anything Changing?

  • Traditional vs. current trends in global economic power (U.S., China, Asia).
  • Shifting centers of economic and technological innovation.
  • Regional development corridors, and the impact of economic trends within specific geographic areas.
  • Examples: South China, Singapore, South Korea - investment in technology, and brain circulation.

Definitions

  • Protectionism: Policies promoting national markets by imposing trade barriers.
  • Multinationals (TNCs): Companies operating in multiple countries.
  • Global city: Major node in global economic networks.
  • Core (Regional scale): Central region with good communications and high density.
