ONLINE COURSE - Economic globalization led to the relocation of many manufacturing production sites to developing economies with cheaper labor costs and looser health and environmental regulations. For developed economies, the relocations worked in the same direction as structural change: away from manufacturing and towards service jobs. These changes in economic geography came at a price, paid in an uneven manner. Low-skilled workers and workers performing relatively routine tasks disproportionately lost their jobs to competitors from lower wage countries and employment losses in manufacturing were concentrated in certain regions, often rural, which were seriously affected by relocations and often left in a state of dereliction and unemployment—with dramatic consequences for economic inclusion, political polarization, social cohesion and even life expectancy. In this course, we will analyze changes in economic geography among regions within the United States and between the United States and other countries, such as its trading partners (e.g., China). Once you have been accepted to the Hauptseminar (32713) you will be added to this class by the lecturer. Schließen
