This handbook is a comprehensive and up to date work of reference
that offers a survey of the state of financial geography. With
Brexit, a global recession triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, as
well as new financial technology threatening and promising to
revolutionize finance, the map of the financial world is in a state
of transformation, with major implications for development. With
these developments in the background, this handbook builds on this
unprecedented momentum and responds to these epochal challenges,
offering a comprehensive guide to financial geography. Financial
geography is concerned with the study of money and finance in space
and time, and their impacts on economy, society and nature. The
book consists of 29 chapters organized in six sections: theoretical
perspectives on financial geography, financial assets and markets,
investors, intermediation, regulation and governance, and finance,
development and the environment. Each chapter provides a balanced
overview of current knowledge, identifying issues and discussing
relevant debates. Written in an analytical and engaging style by
authors based on six continents from a wide range of disciplines,
the work also offers reflections on where the research agenda is
likely to advance in the future. The book's key audience will
primarily be students and researchers in geography, urban studies,
global studies and planning, more or less familiar with financial
geography, who seek access to a state-of-the art survey of this
area. It will also be useful for students and researchers in other
disciplines, such as finance and economics, history, sociology,
anthropology, politics, business studies, environmental studies and
other social sciences, who seek convenient access to financial
geography as a new and relatively unfamiliar area. Finally, it will
be a valuable resource for practitioners in the public and private
sector, including business consultants and policy-makers, who look
for alternative approaches to understanding money and finance.
