The first fifteen years of the 21st century have thrown into sharp
relief the challenges of growth, equity, stability, and
sustainability facing the world economy. In addition, they have
exposed the inadequacies of mainstream economics in providing
answers to these challenges. This volume gathers over 50 leading
scholars from around the world to offer a forward-looking
perspective of economic geography to understanding the various
building blocks, relationships, and trajectories in the world
economy. The perspective is at the same time grounded in theory and
in the experiences of particular places. Reviewing state-of-the-art
of economic geography, setting agendas, and with illustrations and
empirical evidence from all over the world, the book should be an
essential reference for students, researchers, as well as
strategists and policy makers. Building on the success of the first
edition, this volume offers a radically revised, updated, and
broader approach to economic geography. With the backdrop of the
global financial crisis, finance is investigated in chapters on
financial stability, financial innovation, global financial
networks, the global map of savings and investments, and
financialization. Environmental challenges are addressed in
chapters on resource economies, vulnerability of regions to climate
change, carbon markets, and energy transitions. Distribution and
consumption feature alongside more established topics on the firm,
innovation, and work. The handbook also captures the theoretical
and conceptual innovations of the last fifteen years, including
evolutionary economic geography and the global production networks
approach. Addressing the dangers of inequality, instability, and
environmental crisis head-on, the volume concludes with strategies
for growth and new ways of envisioning the spatiality of economy
for the future.
