Sociologists study the ways we organise our lives with a focus on issues of inequality , power , globalisation , and identity . We see growing populations , globalisation , urbanisation , decentralisation , and rising demands for food , fibre , fuel and water . Protected areas are challenged by underlying and accelerating forces and threats , such as poverty , globalisation , lack of security and global change . Broadly speaking this covers regional development , globalisation , geographies of development , urbanisation , and environmental policy and regulation . While international trade has been present throughout much of history ( see Silk Road , Amber Road ) , its economic , social , and political importance have increased in recent centuries , mainly because of Industrialisation , advanced transportation , globalisation , multinational corporations , and outsourcing .
