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.
