The impact of economic geography both within and beyond the wider
field of geography has been constrained in the past by its own
limitations. Drawing together the work of several eminent
geographers this superb collection assesses the current state of
knowledge in the sub discipline and its future direction. In doing
so, the contributors show how economic geographers have offered
explanations that affect places and lives in the broader context of
the global economy. Offering a discussion of theoretical constructs
and methodologies with the purpose to show the need to combine
different approaches in understanding spatial (inter) dependencies,
contributors also demonstrate the need to engage with multiple
audiences, and within this context they proceed to examine how
geographers have interfaced with businesses and policy. This
excellent collection moves economic geography from a preoccupation
with theory towards more rigorous empirical research with greater
relevance for public policy. With excellent breadth of coverage, it
provides an outstanding introduction to research topics and
approaches.
