It identifies significant stages in the discipline?s development, and focuses on the key themes and ideas that inform present thinking.
Organised in sections with multiple chapters, The SAGE Handbook of Economic Geography is a complete overview of the discipline that critically assesses:
- Location, the quantitative revolution and the ?new economic geography?
- Geographies of globalization and capitalism
- Geographies of scale/place and the local/global
- Geographies of nature, agriculture, sustainable development and the political ecology
- Geographies of uneven development, economic decline, and money and finance
- Geographies of consumption and services
- Geographies of regulation and governance, neo-liberalism and welfare.
Placing the discipline in vivid historical and contemporary context, The SAGE Handbook of Economic Geography is a timely, essential work for postgraduates, researchers and academics in economic geography.
