This volume in the celebrated Critical Introductions to Geography
series introduces readers to the vibrant discipline of economic
geography. The authors provide an original definition of the
discipline, and they make a strong case for its vital importance in
understanding the dynamic interconnections, movements, and emerging
trends shaping our globalized world. Economic Geography addresses
the key theories and methods that form the basis of the discipline,
and describes its "communities of practice" and relations to
related fields including economics and sociology. Numerous
illustrative examples explore how economic geographers examine the
world and how and why the discipline takes the forms it does,
demonstrating the critical value of economic geography to making
sense of globalization, uneven development, money and finance,
urbanization, environmental change, and industrial and
technological transformation. Engaging and thought-provoking,
Economic Geography: A Critical Introduction is the ideal resource
for students studying across a range of subject areas, as well as
the general reader with an interest in world affairs and economics.
