5. Part 1: Questioning Globalization The Changing Global Economic Map Globalisation debate Production chains / production systems The local and the global (agglomeration/cluster) Geo-economy and the environment

6. Globalisation debate Hyperglobalisation thesis (shared by both ”don’t fight it people” and ”antiglobalisation movements”): Globalisation is a fast and uncontrollable process - inevitable It’s a fundamental shift in the conditions for social and economic development It means a dramatic reduction in the power of the nation state Sceptics thesis : Its not really that new Globalisation is an ’idékonstruktion’ created for political ends World was just as globalised in its own way 1900 as 2000

8. Internationalisation (‘shallow integration’): nationally organised economies linked by trade; a process that has been going on a long time vs. Globalisation (‘deep integration’): National economies integrated together in a global production system, with TNCs as powerful actors; a much newer process Dicken: distinguishs between …

9. Book’s starting point: production chains…

10. Producer-driven vs Buyer-driven chains …

12. The book is not just about firms – it takes in a lot of other economic actors: e.g. the state

13. The end of geography/ the death of distance vs. Even in a globalizing world, all economic activities are geographically localized: geographical clustering of economic activities is the norm (Porter, etc.) Geography’s role in all this:

14. Even in a globalised world: economic activities tend to be geographically clustered. The bases of geographi clusters…

15. The changing global economic map The imprint of history The roller-coaster: aggregate trends in global economic activity Global shifts in production and trade Changing the lens: the macro-, micro- and meso scale of the global economy

16. ”Pre-global” division of labour (1945)

17. Growing interconnectedness – widening gap between production and trade …

18. Its far from a smooth process… more of a rollercoaster ride

19. Global map of manufacturing production and growth 2005

20. Global map of services production and growth – 2005

22. Services ever more important (in money and jobs) – esp. In the richest countries

24. The world trade network : Europe dominates (lots of rich countries trading with each other – you tend to trade most with your neighbours); the bigger the area the more internal trade

25. Very sharp rises (production and trade) in certain NIEs, in SE Asia. Worse in middle East and Africa

26. Changing the lens … different spatial scales of globalisation Macro (”The Triad”) Micro (individual cities and city regions rather than countries) Meso (different ”cross-border”- phenomena: zoner; ”bananer” …)

27. Macro: The Triad

28. Micro: there are real differences between cities in different countries… a global geography of cities not countries?

29. Economy not always related to population

30. Meso: the blue banana, etc.

31. Meso: Cross-border development zones in Asia: e.g. growth triangle Singapore- Johor-Batam

32. Meso: ”Rio Grande-phenomenon”

33. Summary The world is changing We need to understand globalisation in economic terms 3 main forces are important…
