An Introduction to Economic Geography: Globalization, Uneven Development and Place

Introduction to Economic Geography guides students through the core issues and debates of economic geography, whilst still exploring the wide range of approaches and paradigms that are currently enlivening the discipline. Rigorous, yet accessible, it manages to demystify a traditionally intimidating subject yet still provides the depth of knowledge needed for an undergraduate course. Focusing on the themes of globalisation, uneven development and place, the authors convey the diversity and vitality of contemporary economic geography, balancing coverage of “traditional” areas such as regional development and labour markets with insight into new and evolving topics like neoliberalism, consumption, information and communications technologies and tourist geographies.
