1. The Global Shift to Asia
By the end of this lesson you will:
Be able to explain why global shifts in economic activity bring a range of environmental, economic and social impacts.
Be able to explain how globalisation is linked with the increasing scale and pace of economic migration, and results in a range of impacts to places of varying scales

2. Globalisation – Enquiry Question 2
What are the impacts of globalisation for countries, different groups of people and cultures and the physical environment?
3.4 The global shift has created
winners and losers for people and the physical environment.
a. The movement of the global economic centre of gravity to Asia via the global shift of manufacturing ( China) and outsourcing of services ( India) can lead to changes in the built environment that can bring benefits (infrastructure investment, waged work, poverty reduction, education and training) but also costs (loss of productive land, unplanned settlements, environmental and resource pressure).
b. Some communities in developing countries have experienced major environmental problems (including air and water pollution, land degradation, over-exploitation of resources, and loss of biodiversity), which impact on people’s health and wellbeing.
c. Some deindustrialised regions in developed countries face social and environmental problems as a result of economic restructuring (dereliction, contamination, depopulation, crime and high unemployment). (4)

5. The Global Shift
The twenty first century has seen a re-balance of economic activity to Asia
This means that lower paid manufacturing / service and administration has moved to Asian countries
This has created many positive outcomes for people (jobs, emerging middle class, wealth) but has also created many negative externalities (work exploitation, unethical work practice, environmental concerns)

6. Externalities – Benefits and Problems
SOCIAL
ENVIRONMENTAL
ECONOMIC
POLITICAL
Read page 181 of the hodder textbook and complete the table about adding Positive and Negative externalities (you may want to use different colours for positive and negative)

8. Social, Economic, Political Impacts - Examples

9. Environmental challenges for newly industrialised regions
Many newly industrialised countries have experienced problems as a result of a global shift:
Pollution eg in China Air pollution has become a major issue in China, and poses a threat to Chinese public health.
Over-exploitation of resources eg deforestation in Indonesia and Nigeria has led to a loss of bio-diversity
Industrial waste eg in the Ivory Coast thousands suffered ill health after toxic waste was alleged to produce hydrogen sulphide

10. Social & Environmental Challenges for deindustrialised regions
However, more developed countries also suffer as a result of deindustrilaistion and the global shift
High unemployment eg in Sheffield in the UK
Crime eg eg drug related crime in US cities
Depopulation eg Detroit loosing 1million residents
Dereliction eg broken windows, trees growing out of buildings, arson in towns like Blackburn
