About this title

Synopsis

Today's rapidly flowing global economy means the economic geographical perspective has never been more important. An Introduction to Economic Geography comprehensively guides students through the core issues and debates of this vibrant and exciting area, whilst simultaneously exploring the range of approaches and paradigms currently invigorating the wider discipline. Rigorous in approach, yet accessible in style, the authors demystify and enliven a crucial subject for study in the 21st century.
Underpinned by the themes of globalization, uneven development and place, the text conveys the diversity and vitality of contemporary economic geography. It balances coverage of traditional areas such as regional development and labour markets with insight into new and evolving topics like neoliberalism, consumption, information and communications technologies and tourist geographies.
