The Sage Handbook of Economic Geography (Relié)

What difference does it make to think about the economy in geographical terms ? The SAGE Handbook of Economic Geography illustrates the profound significance for economic understanding of thinking about the 'economy' and the 'economic' geographically. It identifies critical stages in the development of economic geography, and focuses on the key themes and ideas that inform present thinking in the discipline.
Organized 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 : making sense of globalization and its consequences ; geographies of capitalism ; Geographies of scale and place : local and global ; space and place ; Geographies of nature : agriculture ; sustainable development ; political ecology and the social constructions of nature ; Geographies of uneven development : economic growth and decline ; technology ; money and finance ; Geographies of consumption and services : formal and informal spaces of consumption ; the culture industries ; performance ; Geographies of regulation and governance : neo-liberalism ; regulation ; welfare ; Rethinking economic geographies : feminist and alternative economic geographies.
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.
