Description

Cultural, environmental and economic themes of significance in the understanding of the geography of Europe.

Europe is environmentally diverse, with a complex history, and long duration and high intensity of human occupancy.  It is of special importance to New Zealand, due to strong and persistent cultural linkages, and the continuing but transforming economic and political ties.  The first half of the course is an overview of Europe’s environmental diversity and complicated history as expressed in highly uneven development, contrasting landscapes, and a tradition of conflict now countered by such institutions as the EU.  The second part focuses on European integration since 1945 (in both its European and global contexts) through such themes as migration, investment, international relations and tourism.

Notes

Note: There are no timetable clashes in the GEOG 2007 summer school programme. It is therefore possible to take one of the 200 level courses with one of the 300 level courses. A course load in excess of this is not advisable and would probably not be approved by the Dean.
