This course is a supplement to the introductory course in Economic Geography. GGPN studies the historical and contemporary changes in the geographical configuration of multinational and transnational corporations.
The lectures are revolved around three themes. First, the long-term changes in the ‘catalysts’ of international economy: transport, communications and the international framework that regulates trade and investment flows. Second, the geography of international production in the framework of the Old and the New International Division of Labour. Third, the current developments on the formation of globalized production networks. These developments are made more evident by Case Studies of emblematic TNCs in processing, services and retail trade.
The course includes in class lectures and laboratory lectures by the module leader and oral presentation of essays by students. Students can choose between two equivalent assesment alternatives. Either final written exam (100%), or oral presentation and written submission of essay (100%).
