• 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. Describe how the Globalization Index may be represented spatially.
• 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.
