Read the text about GEOGRAPHIES OF GLOBALIZATION.

Globalization, its meaning and conceptual value, has long been contested within human geography. As probably the most fashionable concept of the 1990s and now the new millennium, the rhetoric surrounding academic and media uses of the term ‘globalization’, make it easy to lose sight of its multifarious meanings. As Dicken (2004) argues, globalization is inherently geographical. Understanding globalization as a process requires us to consider the way space, place and time are configured and reconfigured as a result of contemporary changes in technological, economic and political practices. For Taylor et al. (2002), this is why ‘geography and globalization’ are so intimately related: all processes of globalization have geographical dimensions. They expand on this idea in three further ways: • The ‘geography in globalization’. • The ‘geography of globalization’. Processes of globalization create new geographical patterns of flows and activity. For example, the New International Division of Labour reconfigures both the geography of manufacturing activities, but also, as a side-effect, geographies of uneven development, poverty and wealth. • ‘Geography for and against globalization’. Needless to say the concept of globalization has caused great debate within human geography and many other social sciences. But why do geographers have so much to say about globalization, good, bad or indifferent?

GLOBALIZATION: INTERCONNECTED WORLDS of globally interconnected, shrinking world many associate with globalization (Allen and Hamnett, 1995). Together, these different actors mean the interconnection between places has increased in recent times as a ‘space of flows’ has emerged that many suggest was unparalleled in previous eras (Castells, 2000; Thrift, 2002). In the following sections we examine two case studies of different forms and impacts of globalization: in economic globalization, the phenomenon of offshoring and call centres; and in cultural globalization, the transnationality of commodity cultures. Throughout these we draw attention to the geography in and of globalization, and the changing processes that have produced new forms of interconnected worlds. In the conclusions, we then reflect critically upon these discussions and consider why such examples have led to debates between those for and against suggestions that we live in a newly globalized world.
