I thought I would post a few links to get you thinking about the hotly debated topic of Globalisation - I am sure you have done much on this already in your Human Geography studies at A2 but there are some great reference sites out there which help to illustrate what is meant by Globalisation as well as provide case studies and add to the debate over the impacts of globalisation on the developing world. Why not have a look at some of the following - the first few links provide an excellent introduction - but there are some further more detailed links to really get you thinking! I will post more on this as Globalisation issues appear in the news.
As a starting point there are some excellent resources from the BBC to explore - including this introduction to Globalisation which considers The Key Facts about the Global Economy
The BBC has a special report section on Globalisation with many articles exploring the issues related to Globalisation.
Globalisation - In-depth BBC World Service - this site makes an interesting read with some particularly interesting examples of globalisation - including the Fast Food Industry and the Music Industry.The Globalisation Guide - an excellent site considering the key questions on Globalisation - looking at what it is, who is involved as well as consideration of the impacts of globalisation - on the environment, culture etc.

Special Report on Globalisation from the Guardian - includes links to various articles related to Globalisation
Focus on Globalisation (Global Eye magazine) - an introduction and two case studies (i) Global Fashion Industry and (ii) the sugar trade - good examples here.
There is an interesting video here including a discussion of Globalisation asking the question "Is the anti-globalisation movement wrong?" and what impact free-trade has on developing countries.
First part of the video can be viewed here:
the rest of the video (parts 2 and 3) can be viewed on You Tube.
