What makes countries competitive in the world economy? U.S. coming close to making "greatest unforced error in history of economic policy making" Chavez announces cancer surgery UK manufacturing hits 21-month low GDP link in Greek debt rollover "too onerous", expert says Introduction The unit uses the example of climate change to highlight the dynamic and volatile character of the planet, and how globalisation links together, in often unequal ways, people and places across the world. The unit focuses on the potentially momentous impact of global environmental change on Pacific Islands like Tuvalu. It introduces students to geographical ways of thinking about the world.
