SSC 230 - Economic Geography

This course encourages students to understand the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services using a ‘geographical perspective.’ Where do various economic activities take place and why? How are activities in one location linked with those in another? How have technological advances and public policy influenced the special organization of business enterprises? These questions are examined at geographical scales ranging from the local to the global, using a variety of case studies. There is a special emphasis on globalization, economic development, and the growing prominence of multi-national corporations in the world economy
