Economic geographers have always argued that space is key to
understanding the economy, that the processes of economic growth
and development do not occur uniformly across geographic space, but
rather differ in degree and form as between different nations,
regions, cities and localities, with major implications for the
geographies of wealth and welfare. This was true in the industrial
phase of global capitalism, and is no less true in the contemporary
era of post-industrial, knowledge-driven global capitalism. Indeed,
the marked changes occurring in the structure and operation of the
economy, in the sources of wealth creation, in the organisation of
the firm, in the nature of work, in the boundaries between market
and state, and in the regulation of the socio-economy, have
stimulated an unprecedented wave of theoretical, conceptual and
empirical enquiry by economic geographers. Even economists, who
traditionally have viewed the economy in non-spatial terms, as
existing on the head of the proverbial pin, are increasingly
recognising the importance of space, place and location to
understanding economic growth, technological innovation,
competitiveness and globalisation. This collection of previously
published work, though containing but a fraction of the huge
explosion in research and publication that has occurred over the
past two decades, seeks to convey a sense of this exciting phase in
the intellectual development of the discipline and its importance
in grasping the spatialities of contemporary economic life.
