Abstract:
The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Economic Geography presents students and researchers with a comprehensive overview of the field, put together by a prestigious editorial team, with contributions from an international cast of prominent scholars.  Offers a fully revised, expanded, and up-to-date overview, following the successful and highly regarded Companion to Economic Geography published by Blackwell a decade earlier, providing a comprehensive assessment of the field  Takes a prospective as well as retrospective look at the field, reviewing recent developments, recurrent challenges, and emerging agendas   Incorporates diverse perspectives (in terms of specialty, demography and geography) of up and coming scholars, going beyond a focus on Anglo-American research  Encourages authors and researchers to engage with and contextualize their situated perspectives  Explores areas of overlap, dialogues, and (potential) engagement between economic geography and cognate disciplines.
