Module 2
Interaction Between Geography, Economics, and Political Science
GEOG 205
Global Communities and Resources: Critical Perspectives
Comparative Political Systems and Economic and Geography Relationships
This module is designed to expose students to the principles important to fulfilling the requirements reflected in the course title, focusing on global communities and resources. This is a module about analyzing relationships between concepts, since this is a crucial element in the development of critical thinking. The goal of this module is to help the student see the connection between geographic topics, economic systems, political systems. Students will study types of political systems across nations, and apply their knowledge of geography and economic systems in order analyze the important relationships. The outcomes of this module are designed to help the student synthesize the ideas behind the central to the course, namely the ability to compare and contrast, and to identify connections between systems.
Introduction
Objectives
At the end of the module, the student will be able to:
Explain the basic concepts that comprise the academic study of political science.
Describe the major global types of political systems.
Compare and contrast political systems across nations.
Identify the key components that guide the relationships between economic, political and geographic systems for the purposes of establishing the importance of understanding the critical perspectives of this course.
Political Systems
Voting

Power Distribution
Structures of Governments
Branches of Governments
The Study of Political Science
Direct Democracy
Representative Democracy
Communism
Socialism
Authoritarianism
Types of Political Systems
A direct democracy is one in which all laws, rules, and public policies are voted on by every citizen (of voting age) within a society. It is typically difficult to do in nations with large populations.
A representative democracy is one in which individuals are elected by the public to form a legislature (body of lawmakers) in order to make laws and public policy on behalf of the voters.
Communism is a political and economic system in which the factors of production (land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurial talent) are owned by the state. All economic and political decisions are made by the state.
Socialism is a political and economic system that is part democracy, part communism. Some land and industries are state-owned, and many services are provided to the public for free (supported by high taxes).
Authoritarianism is neither democratic, communistic, or socialistic, but a system wherein all power is centered within one person, known as a dictator.

Unitary System
Federal System
Confederal System
How Governments are Organized
A unitary systems is one in which there are no states, regions or provinces. There is only a central government (usually of elected representatives) that passes all laws on behalf of the entire nation.
A federal system is similar to that within the United States. There is a national government that makes policy that affects all citizens, but there are other laws that govern individual states. Those states make their own laws and set their own public policy based on their needs and beliefs. Ultimately, in a federal system, states or regions or provinces share power with the national government.
A confederal system is one in which the central government is weak and state governments are strong. The central government can only have the powers that the states grant to them.

Topography and the existence of natural resources intersects with the type of economic system
In communism, a central government will exploit resources such as timber, water, minerals, and fossil fuels via state-owned industries, and make decisions of how to use and distribute those resources
In a free market economy, individuals and private businesses acquire land rights from government, and they exploit resources for the benefit of profits
Geography and Economic Systems
8
Nations must determine how natural resources will be harvested for the benefits of its citizens
Cultural attitudes and norms create the environment by which nations will establish the rules around how they will use natural resources
Geography is the study of physical properties of the earth, demographics, and the use of natural resources
The type of economic system utilized within a region will determine who controls the factors of production
