GEOG 106
Geographies of Globalization

Credit:  3 hours.

This course satisfies the General Education Criteria for a
Non-Western Cultures, UIUC Social Sciences, and Western Compartv Cult course.

A survey of major world regions by systematically considering five themes: environment, population and settlement patterns, cultural coherence and diversity, geopolitical fragmentation and unity, and economic and social development. While examining the persistence of unique regions, the course will both scale up to global linkages and scale down to place-specific impacts of globalization processes. This course can be used to fulfill either Western or Nonwestern general education categories, but not both.
