1. By the end of this lesson you will have:
Globalisation has affected some places and organisations more than others.
By the end of this lesson you will have:
Re-capped the acceleration of globalisation
Learnt how some places have remained more switched off than others
Understood how we can measure this through the KOF and Kearney index

2. Globalisation – Enquiry Question 1
What are the causes of Globalisation and why has it accelerated in recent decades?
3.3 Globalisation has affected some
places and organisations more than others.
a. Degree of globalisation varies by country and can be measured using indicators and indices (AT Kearney index, KOF index). (2)
b. TNCs are important in globalisation (P: role of TNCs) both contributing to its spread (global production networks, glocalisation and the development of new markets) and taking advantage of economic liberalisation (outsourcing and offshoring).
c. There are physical, political, economic and environmental reasons why some locations remain largely ‘switched off’ from globalisation ( North Korea, Sahel countries). (3)

4. Measuring Globalisation
We can use the Kearney and the KOF index to measure how globalised some countries are compared to others.
KOF index: The KOF index of globalisation measures the political, social and economic strands of globalisation.
Kearney index: The Kearney index analysis economic integration, personal contact, technological connectivity and political engagement in order to list top 20 global cities

5. KOF Index – Most Globalised Countries

6. Kearney Index – Most Globalised Countries

7. Uneven Globalisation
The Kearney and KOF indexes show us that globalisation is uneven – some places have globalised more than others.
So why do some countries globalise more than others?
In small groups complete a reciprocal reading task – pages – on ‘uneven globalisation’ and make notes

8. ‘Switched off’ places
The countries at the bottom of the Kearney and KOF indexes are known as ‘switched off’ places
There are many reasons why a country may remain switched off to globalisation
Physical: the land of a place can mean that countries are disconnected geographically (sahel countries)
Political: the political decisions made can restrict globalisation (north Korea)
Economic: The economy of a country can mean the country isn’t open to global economic flows (sahel regions)
