World Regions in Global Context presents a strong global sensibility and an emphasis on current concerns, with models of interdependent development, spatial and social inequality, and questions of spatial justice. The authors maintain that regions are the outcomes of a set of twin forces of globalisation and regionalisation. Therefore, each regional chapter stresses the global systems of connection that drive unique regional processes, making regions different. By studying regions, students not only learn the critical elements of different places, but also come to understand the fundamental processes that drive change. The 5th Edition discusses geographies of emerging regions, incorporates cutting-edge data visualisations and infographics, including Quick Response codes linking to online media, features a completely modernised cartography program, and much more.
