Dear colleagues, I am delighted to announce the launch of a new MSc programme on "Globalization and Cities" at Loughborough University. This interdisciplinary programme is centred in the Geography Department, with additional input from Business and Economics, Social Sciences, and Politics, History and International Relations. The Msc provides a unique focus on the economic, social and political dimensions of globalization and the increasingly important role of cities in responding to and affecting global agendas.
