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.

In this second part of the course of Political and Economic Geography (only for 12 CFU) we highlight the process of “spatial rewriting” of politics and we provide interpretative keys to understand the changes occurred in recent years in the complex relationship between geography and politics. Further to an overview on the evolution of the main schools of thought in the geopolitical sphere, we explore key subjects such as: the State and its transformations, from the Welfare State to Workfare State; the geography of regionalisms and nationalisms; the importance of social movements in contemporary politics; the areas of the world with the highest conflict rates and so on. There will be lectures, an excursion and eventual workshops.

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.

In this second part of the course of Political and Economic Geography (only for 12 CFU) we highlight the process of “spatial rewriting” of politics and we provide interpretative keys to understand the changes occurred in recent years in the complex relationship between geography and politics. Further to an overview on the evolution of the main schools of thought in the geopolitical sphere, we explore key subjects such as: the State and its transformations, from the Welfare State to Workfare State; the geography of regionalisms and nationalisms; the importance of social movements in contemporary politics; the areas of the world with the highest conflict rates and so on. There will be lectures, an excursion and eventual workshops.

Social HistoryUnit 1 – 36 hours - 6 cfu.Emigration, internal migration and immigration in Italy from the nineteenth century to today.The course aims at retracing, generally starting from the Italian unification and indicating the multiple implications of the latter, the internal and external migration phenomena that characterized and still characterize the history of the Italian society: from the nineteenth-century internal seasonal migrations, which were mainly at a short distance and connected to the agricultural activity, to the exodus from the South to the North of the Italian Peninsula during the 1950s and the 1960s of the Twentieth Century; from the great European and transoceanic migrations of the decades between the centuries 19th and 20th to the ones, once again transoceanic and European, of the first twenty-five years of the Republic, until the successive evolution by which Italy transformed into a country (also) of immigrants.

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.

In this second part of the course of Political and Economic Geography (only for 12 CFU) we highlight the process of “spatial rewriting” of politics and we provide interpretative keys to understand the changes occurred in recent years in the complex relationship between geography and politics. Further to an overview on the evolution of the main schools of thought in the geopolitical sphere, we explore key subjects such as: the State and its transformations, from the Welfare State to Workfare State; the geography of regionalisms and nationalisms; the importance of social movements in contemporary politics; the areas of the world with the highest conflict rates and so on. There will be lectures, an excursion and eventual workshops.
