PAPER 3 HL extension: Global interactions – Topic Syllabus point Case studies 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 Measuring spatially. global Global core and periphery. Discuss the spatial pattern of global interactions interactions through the mapping of core areas at the focus of interaction (network IB 5 & A3 map with Ikea, ports etc. hubs/nodes), the peripheries and areas relatively unaffected by these interactions. Time–space convergence and the reduction in the friction of distance. Explain how a reduction in the friction of distance results in time–space convergence. Air and ocean transport Examine the relative changes in the speed and capacity of two types of transport (air, ocean, road, rail, pipeline) responsible for the flow of goods, Changing materials and people. space - the Extension and density of networks. Examine the changes in a transport, shrinking internet or telecommunications network in terms of the extension of links and world nodes and the intensity of use at a national or global scale.
