Download APHG UNIT 6: development and industry

Unit Overview
This section of the course presents the geographic elements of industrialization and economic development, including past and
present patterns of industrialization, types of economic sectors, and how places acquire comparative advantage and
complementarity. Students also learn how models of economic development, such as Rostow’s stages of economic growth and
Wallerstein’s World Systems Theory, and programs like the Millennium Development Goals help to understand why the world is
divided into a more-developed economic core and a less-developed periphery.Measures of development (e.g., gross domestic
product [GDP] per capita, the Human Development Index [HDI], and the Gender Inequality Index [GII] are tools to understand
patterns of economic differences. The analysis of contemporary patterns of industrialization and their impact on development is the
third major theme of this section. Topics to be studied include Weber’s industrial location theory and accounts of economic
globalization, which accent time–space compression and the international division of labor. As an example, students study the
reasons why some Asian economies achieved rapid rates of growth in the mid- to late 20th century, whereas most sub-Saharan
African economies did not. In addition, students need to understand patterns of economic growth and deindustrialization in a region
such as in North America, where the emergence of service sectors, high technology, and growth poles (e.g., Silicon Valley, the
Research Triangle, universities, and medical centers) is transforming the contemporary economic landscape.Countries, regions, and
communities must confront new patterns of economic inequity that are linked to geographies of interdependence in the world
economy, including global financial crises, the shift in manufacturing to newly industrialized countries (NICs), imbalances in
consumption patterns, and the roles of women in the labor force. Communities also face difficult questions regarding raw material,
energy use, the conservation of resources, and the impact of pollution on the environment and quality of life.
