Università Roma Tre

The course will address the evolution of the world economy geographic scenario in recent decades, as well as the evolution of the conceptual tools needed to understand the radical changes of economic and political nature materialized in this same period. With this in mind, we are going to discuss: the globalization and its territorial effects (from the breakup of the postwar global order, to the emergence of the Global South); the geography of resources (agricultural, mining, energetic); the industrial sectors in the third millennium; the centrality of urban spaces in the contemporary economy; the geography of transport and tourism and so on. There will be lectures and eventual workshops.

The FIRST book is written by Chiara Certomà, Sergio Conti, Paolo Giaccaria, Ugo Rossi, Carlo Salone; the title is "Geografia economica e politica" and is edited in 2022 by PEARSON.
