Settler Colonialism
• Settled by Europeans– Neo-Europes– Similar Climates & Land
• Production of Value-Added Products
• Mostly MDCs Today
Mercantile Colonialism
• Conquer/Occupied by Europeans
• Exporting Raw Materials• LDCs Today
– Neocolonialism
MDCs vs. LDCsMDCs vs. LDCs
MDCs• Urban
• Service (Tertiary) based economy
• Has Infrastructure• Low Growth Rate• Established Middle
Class
LDCs• Urbanizing (Rural ->
Cities)• Agricultural (Primary)
Base economy• Needs infrastructure• High Growth Rate• Income Gap
Age-Sex PyramidsAge-Sex Pyramids
• Why is the earth’s population increasing the same amount each year despite a falling growth rate?– Exponential Growth (6.6 Billion)
Types of EconomiesTypes of Economies
• Market Economy (Capitalism)– Consumers determine prices & production– Supply & Demand
• Command Economy (Communism)– Gov’t determines prices & production

• All water on the earth• All land including
ocean basins• All air surrounding the

LandformsLandforms
• Thin piece of land connecting two larger pieces
• Thin piece of water connecting two larger bodies
• Piece of land surrounded by water on three sides
• Chain of Islands
• Isthmus
• Strait
• Peninsula
• Archipelago
Industrial LocationIndustrial Location
• Five Factors– Raw Materials– Labor– Transportation– Infrastructure– Energy
• Most important?– Labor
• Leeways– Transportation– ?– Container Sys., $ per mile drops– “If you move there, it will come”– Long distance power & pipe lines
Deindustrialization/Roger & MeDeindustrialization/Roger & Me• New International
Division of Labor
• Manufacturing Export Zone
• High-Tech Corridor
• Globalization
• Man. Jobs -> Mexico• Rise of Services in Core
• Mexico
• Detroit (GM HQ)
• GM (HQ in MI, Factories in Mexico)
DeforestationDeforestation
• Causes– Subsistence Farmers– Slash & Burn– Commercial Logging– Livestock Grazing– Roads (Fishbone)
• Effects– Global Carbon Cycle– Global Warming– Extinct Species (50%)– Medical losses
Free Trade vs. Fair TradeFree Trade vs. Fair Trade
Free Trade
• Removing Barriers to Trade• Barriers
– Tariffs – Taxes on Imported Goods
– Subsidies– Quotas (limits on imported
goods)– Product Bans– Environmental Protection
laws
Fair Trade
• Provides for livable wages for LDC producers
• Protects infant industries
