Setting out to explore the intersections of economy and geography, this book brings together contributions from the world's top economic geographers.

Over forty contributors draw upon contemporary theory and experience to explore the cultural and social constitution of economic geographies, processes of globalisation, and new forms of political regulation and practice. Although focusing upon 'new' economic geography, the book also illustrates the many connections with previous scholarship as scholars seek to reconstruct the traditions of political economy to understand the contemporary world.

Highlighting and illustrating contemporary developments, the book opens up discussion about the implications of the complex geographies involved. In pointing to new directions of research and debate, this major statement in state-of-the-art economic geography demonstrates the central relevance of economic geography not only in understanding the trajectories of change but in proposing alternatives.
