Approaches to Economic Geography

Towards a geographical political economy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The last four decades have seen major changes in the global economy, with the collapse of communism and the spread of capitalism into parts of the world from which it had previously been excluded. Beginning with a grounding in Marxian political economy, this book explores a range of new ideas as to what economic geography can offer as it intersects with public policy and planning in the new globalised economy. Approaches to Economic Geography draws together the formidable work of Ray Hudson into an authoritative collection, with chapters covering subjects ranging from uneven development to social economy.
