Abstract
In recent years various aspects of globalisation have received much attention. One way to get an overview of these is to visualise aspects of the outcomes of globalisation using world maps. This paper refers to world cartograms, in order to discuss the ‘shape’ of globalisation. Maps of trade, migration, travel, and telecommunications can illustrate just how intertwined the world is (or isn’t), by describing the contours of global connectivity. Other maps show incomes, education, disease and living conditions; these maps demonstrate that huge international inequalities persist. Of central concern should be the degree to which people and places are connected, and whether these connections are actually beneficial. Maps are an effective means of illustrating quite how global globalisation is.
