Product Description
This is an in-depth introduction to the theory and practice of economic geography. Emphasis is given to the "globalization" of the world economy and its effects on both developed and developing countries, which is explained through a consideration of local, regional and global economic organization over the long historical term. This new edition has been reworked and updated to take account of the substantial changes in political economy and geography since the appearance of the second edition in 1994. Extended coverage is given to world cities, labour markets and the international financial system, and case study material has been extended throughout.
