Module Aims To critically explore the relations between
globalization and human geography To use a variety of specific case studies to
introduce the latest ideas in human geography about how space and place are changing in the context of globalization
To introduce students to a broad range of concepts and approaches in human geography, using scale, from global to local, as the organising framework

Globalisation
‘a set of processes that are changing the nature of human interaction by intensifying interactions across certain boundaries that have hitherto served to separate individuals and population groups’ [Lee, 2003: 12]
![Page 8: Session 1 Globalisation Governance and the Body(2)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/577cce121a28ab9e788d393f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Globalisation debates Wealth Social integration Shared identities Borderless world Democracy and equity Cooperation

Too much or too little ? ‘problem is not that they (poorest) are being
impoverished by globalization, but that they are in danger of being largely excluded from it’[World Bank]
Need for global governance, global mobilisation
![Page 10: Session 1 Globalisation Governance and the Body(2)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/577cce121a28ab9e788d393f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Body Health and human flourishing Body as site that materialises biological,
social, political, economic, spiritual processes
Lifelines, embodied lives Individualisation of the body Responsibilisation of the body Body projects Critiques of influential dualisms
mind/body; nature/culture

Trade and health [Smith, 2006]
Direct Increased exposure to infectious
disease Increased risk of chronic illness Increased environmental degradation
Indirect Access to health care Via trade liberalisation in other areas
![Page 13: Session 1 Globalisation Governance and the Body(2)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/577cce121a28ab9e788d393f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Challenge for health [Smith, 2006]
Little empirical study of processes Politics
Trade negotiations ignore health Health professionals ignore trade
Public health defensive Risks Opportunities ?

Concerns for health Increased inequalities, re-emergence
of infectious diseases
Security and health as geopolitics
Governance: role of WHO, other agents role in health – WB, WTO

Three faces of globalisation [Lee, 2000, 2003]
Spatial Reterritorialisation Death of distance
Temporal Speeding up
Cognitive Changes to how we think about ourselves
and the world
![Page 20: Session 1 Globalisation Governance and the Body(2)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/577cce121a28ab9e788d393f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Globalisation as spatial change ‘growth of supraterritorial relations between
people….a far-reaching change in the nature of space’ [Scholte, 2000]
‘process through which sovereign national states are criss-crossed and undermined by transnational actors’ [Beck, 1999]
‘intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa’ [Giddens, 1990](in Lee and Collin, 2005)
![Page 21: Session 1 Globalisation Governance and the Body(2)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/577cce121a28ab9e788d393f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Spatial globalisation Unprecedented mobility
175 m (2.9% of world’s population) living outside their country of birth in 2000; increase from 100m (1.8%) in 1995, more than doubled since 1965 [Stillwell et al., 2004]
130m migrant workers in 2000; increased from 75m in 1965 [ILO]
21.8m refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced, 2000; increased from 1.4m in 1961 [UNHCR]
Travellers - total international arrivals worldwide 699m 2000 (rep 9% world’s pop) annual increase of 7.9% [World Tourism Organisation]

Spatial globalisation Movement of life-forms with
humans Individual scale – eg spread of SARS Larger – bio-invasions Global economic trade, movements of
animals, plants, eradication of species, GM concerns
![Page 23: Session 1 Globalisation Governance and the Body(2)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/577cce121a28ab9e788d393f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Temporal globalisation ‘we have been experiencing, these last
two decades, an intense phase of time-space compression that has had a disorienting and disruptive impact’ [Harvey, 1989]
‘a growing magnitude or intensity of global flows’ [Held and McGrew, 2000]
‘Global transactions… can extend anywhere in the world at the same time and can unite locations anywhere in effectively no time’ [Scholte, 2000](From Lee and Collin, 2005)
![Page 24: Session 1 Globalisation Governance and the Body(2)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/577cce121a28ab9e788d393f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Temporal globalisation Speeding up:
medical technologies and research Slowing down:
slows down interactions Different time use
increased commitments
![Page 25: Session 1 Globalisation Governance and the Body(2)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/577cce121a28ab9e788d393f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cognitive globalisation ‘the compression of the world and the
intensification of consciousness of the world as a whole’ [Roberston, 1992]
‘McWorld’s homogenization is likely to ….[lead to] the triumph of commerce and its markets and to give to those who control information, communication, and entertainment ultimate control over human destiny’ [Barber, 1992](From Lee and Collin, 2005)
![Page 26: Session 1 Globalisation Governance and the Body(2)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/577cce121a28ab9e788d393f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Cognitive globalisation Shaping thought:
Mass media, advertising agencies, consultancy firms, research/educational institutions, religious groups, political parties
-1980s: domestic ownership and regulation
1980s+: technological convergence; content ?
Dominance of a few large companies
