What is globalisation?
1. Globalisation as a long
standing process
By the end of this lesson you will
have:
• Learnt what globalisation is
• Understood the
length/depth/speed of
globalisation post 1940s
• Considered global flows and
global networks
2. Globalisation – Enquiry Question 1
•What are the causes of Globalisation and why has it
accelerated in recent decades?
3.1 Globalisation is a longstanding
process which has accelerated
because of rapid developments in
transport, communications and
business
a. Globalisation involves widening and deepening global
connections, interdependence and flows (commodities,
capital, information, migrants and tourists).
b. Developments in transport and trade in the 19th century
(railways, telegraph, steam-ships) accelerated in the 20th
century (jet aircraft, containerisation), contributing to a
‘shrinking world’.
c. The 21st century has been dominated by rapid
development in ICT and mobile communication (mobile
phones, internet, social networking, electronic banking,
fibre optics), lowering communication costs and
contributing to time-space compression.
3. The Big Picture
Globalisation
• 3.1 How globalisation is a long standing process
• 3.2 The political and economic factors associated with globalisation
• 3.3 The affect of globalisation on some places and organisations
• 3.4 The global shift and how this has created winners and losers
• 3.5 Economic migration and the impact of this on the physical environment
• 3.6 The emergence of global culture
• 3.7 The increase of development in some countries and how this has created
disparities

• 3.9 Ethical and environmental concerns about unsustainability
4. Key Terms
• T.N.Cs
• G.D.P
• Emerging Economies
• Remittances
• Interdependency
• Emerging economy
• Globalisation
Each week you will be given
new key terms. It is essential
that you make a note of these
as we will use them
throughout the course. Also,
expect to be quizzed at any
stage about these key terms
5. What is globalisation?
• Task: Complete the ‘human outline’ task in your booklets.
• Task: On your post it note, write your best definition of what you
think globalisation is. try and come up with a more accurate
description of globalisation.
• Share: Let’s hear some of your definitions.
6. What is globalisation?
•Globalisation is the process by which the
world is becoming increasingly
interconnected as a result of massively
increased trade and cultural exchange.
7. Shift Happens
• As you are watching this video, jot down what you learn about
language, technology, wealth, population, companies, knowledge
Language Technology Wealth Population Companies Knowledge
8. Four Strands of Globalisation
• There are 4 strands of globalisation – 4 ways in which the world has
become more connected (which has led to a shrinking world)
• Economic Globalisation: the growth of TNCs, ICT, Online shopping
• Social Globalisation: International immigration, improvements in
health and education, social networking and interconnectivity
• Cultural Globalisation: Dominance of western culture, glocalisation,
circulation of new ideas
• Political Globalisation: growth of trading blocks, global concerns such
as free trade, international institutions such as the world bank and
the IMF TASK: Try and think of a specific example for each strand of
globalisation. For example, The growth of McDonalds as a
TNC would relate to economic globalisation
9. Length/Depth/Speed and the Economy
• In poorer countries, like Chad, they will not go very far for their produce.
Their economy will rely mainly on the villages around them. They will not
feel deeply connected to other parts of the world because they don’t have
products from other parts of the world. Products aren’t gained that quickly,
because of a lack of information technology and transport.
• In richer countries, our economy is heavily reliant on countries which are a
long distance from the UK. We have products from all around the world
and therefore feel a deep connection with other countries wide around the
globe. Trade can happen a lot faster because of technology and transport
• The more globalisation occurs, the wider and the deeper these connections
will become!
10. Interdependence and Global Flows
• With your partner, read pages 161-162 and make notes of the 5 main
flows of globalisation:
• Capital – the movement of money
• Commodities – the movement of valuable raw materials OR things
• Information – The movement of information. This includes the
internet and its servers
• Tourists – The movement of people, especially with the rise of cheap
air
• Migrants – the movement of people to find work in richer countries
11. Global Flows
• This is a Geographical skill to analyse proportional flow lines.
• Let’s go through USA to Mexico as a class
• TASK: Using a ruler, complete the task on page 163 and write your
answers in a table in your booklets.

13. Interdependence and Global Flows
• Q: Why do these global flows mean that the world is becoming more
interdependent? Think back at the connections you made to what
you are wearing!
• A: Because our products, our services, our knowledge, sometimes
even our social life, is reliant on people and countries around the
world – if one part of the chain is broken, then we can’t access our
goods / services / knowledge
14. End of lesson quiz
