"One of the best economic georgraphy texts in recent years, covering
both the history of the discipline and outlining areas for future
research... The quality of the chapters remains high throughout and
many can and should remain as future reference for research and/or
teaching." - Pedro Marques, Journal of Economic Geography What
difference does it make to think about the economy in geographical
terms? The SAGE Handbook of Economic Geography illustrates the
significance of thinking the ′economy′ and the ′economic′
geographically. 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.
