The Geography of the World Economy: An Introduction to Economic Geography

This new, enlarged edition has been reworked to take account of the momentous world changes that have occurred since the original edition in 1989. Treatment of the contemporary transition in the world economy is clarified and extended, setting the fundamentals of economic geography in a revised framework that more clearly addresses the geographic dimensions of world economic change. The authors also discuss new concepts and theories surrounding these issues.
