The Oxford Handbook of Economic Geography - Grand Format

The Oxford Handbook of Economic Geography is the most comprehensive and significant statement about the value and potential of economic geography in thirty years. More than forty leading economists and geographers from around the world investigate the rival theories and perspectives that have sustained the recent development of economic geography, and offer stimulating insights into the emerging global economy of the twenty-first century.
The Handbook also focuses upon linkages, including those between the global and the local, between industry, location, and trade, and between corporate strategy and market structure. From general statements about the history and evolution of the field to statements about the crucial problems of economic geography, it is concerned with the rival theories and perspectives that have sustained the recent growth of economic geography.
The book is split into six major sections, providing comprehensive coverage of the following areas : Conceptual Perspectives ; Global Economic Integration ; Corporate Structure, Strategy, and Location ; The Geography of Innovation ; Localities and Difference ; Global Transfonnations.
