Opis

The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Economic Geography presents students and researchers with a comprehensive overview of the field, put together by a prestigious editorial team, with contributions from an international cast of prominent scholars.

• Offers a fully revised, expanded, and up-to-date overview, following the successful and highly regarded Companion to Economic Geography published by Blackwell a decade earlier, providing a comprehensive assessment of the field
• Takes a prospective as well as retrospective look at the field, reviewing recent developments, recurrent challenges, and emerging agendas
• Incorporates diverse perspectives (in terms of specialty, demography and geography) of up and coming scholars, going beyond a focus on Anglo-American research
• Encourages authors and researchers to engage with and contextualize their situated perspectives
• Explores areas of overlap, dialogues, and (potential) engagement between economic geography and cognate disciplines

Recenzje

This vital, innovative, and provocative collection is a stunning achievement, challenging conventional views and extending the boundaries of 'the economic' in exciting ways. It will surely become required reading for all geographers, and not just those of us who call ourselves economic geographers.Linda McDowell, University of Oxford

Blurb

This comprehensive overview of the field is the successor to the successful and highly regarded Companion to Economic Geography published by Blackwell over a decade earlier.   

In a clear and accessible format, the authors provide a guide to research across the relevant topics of economic geography since the original companion was published, focusing on developments since 2000 and drawing on the expertise of a new generation of scholars. 

In three sections, the book examines the evolution of economic geography, reviews recent work, and explores areas of overlap between economic geography and cognate disciplines. 

It addresses the growing diversity of the field, its increasingly international make–up, and the major areas of debate, including economic questions about what societies produce and consume; political questions about how governance shapes production and consumption; and social and cultural questions about how identities shape economic processes. 

The Wiley–Blackwell Companion to Economic Geography presents students and researchers with a comprehensive overview of the state of the field, from a prestigious editorial team, with contributions from an international cast of prominent scholars.
