Economic Globalization and Local Responses

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Geographical Sciences During 1986—2015

Part of the book series: Springer Geography ((SPRINGERGEOGR))

Abstract

This chapter traces the question of globalization and reviews the efforts from geographers to understand the spatiality of economic globalization. Specific efforts have been made to review four research areas, including transnational corporations, cross-border flows, consequence of global-local interactions and local response to economic globalization. This chapter also highlights the contributions of Chinese scholars in globalization studies. As the speed-up of China’s integration into the globalization process, Chinese scholars are capable of offering more insights into cross-border economic activities, regional integration and global governance. Roadmap for future research is therefore depicted to embrace this trend.
