GG102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Population Geography, Core Countries
Document Summary
By contrast, critics argue that the global economy (the world-system) is so uneven that no measure of free-market enterprise or even active development initiatives can overcome the division between haves and have-nots. In fact, they argue that, through the current setup of the global economy, the core is even actively "undeveloping" the periphery by making that division harder to overcome with every single day. They also argue that those with money (that"s us in the core countries) can always outbid those without money when it comes to securing our share of the shrinking global resources. You may not be ready to come to a definite answer at this point. Yet, the more you get informed about globalization and the world-system, the more sound your viewpoint on this question will be. Go out, explore, and find out for yourself - it"s what. Human geographers combine a general ability to analyse spatial patterns with specialized expertise on population.
