Document Summary

Total points for final exam = 100 points (i. e. 5 concepts=40 points + 4 short answers=60 points) Note that you will not have a choice here. Each definition is worth 8 points (5 concepts x 8 points =40 points). Define concepts (5 concepts chosen from the list below): time-space compression. Time-space compression refers to movement and communication across space, to the geographical stretching-out of social relations, and to our experience of all this. Examples of it include a speed-up, the creation of a global village, overcoming spatial barriers, the disruption of horizons, etc. The significance of this term is that it helps conceptualize the concept of place, as time-space compression allows for fast movement of things from one place to another, and in a way connects them together. A term used to classify states which derive all or a substantial portion of their national (oil) revenues from the rent of indigenous resources to external clients.
