=Measuring Global Interactions=


 * 4 hours || spec || Resources and tasks ||
 * global participation || Describe and evaluate one of the following two Globalization Indices: the AT Kearney index or the [|KOF index], as a measure of global interaction || [|KOF Website]

|| media type="custom" key="20437006" width="70" height="70" || 1-If you were to measure globalisation. How would you do it?

2-Read the slide show and PPT and pages 317-319 Nagle and Cooke.

3-Create a word map for the KOF index.

4-Describe the levels of globalisation according to the KOF

5-Use the KOF rankings document (left) Find Malawi. Discuss possible reasons for Malawi's levels of globalisation.

6-Using the same KOF rankings. Complete the tasks on page 319 Nagle and Cooke. ||

It is essential to show your understanding of how the KOF can be represented through mapping. ||
 * • global core and periphery || Discuss the spatial pattern of global interactions through the mapping of core areas at the focus of interaction (network hubs/nodes), the peripheries and areas relatively unaffected by these interactions. || [[file:brayglobaleconomycoreperiphery.ppt]] ||  || Explain how we can determine Core, Semi Periphery, Periphery.

Identify areas and cities in the world that are Core, Semi Periphery and Periphery.

Create/find a series of maps. Global Cities/World Cities Major Transport Hubs (top 10 busiest airports) Major flows of communications ||
