an outstanding achievement Â
very much a geographerÂs perspective on globalisation  and for that it is a testament to the scope and innovativeness to be found in recent research in economic geography Â
a major contribution to how we understand both the discipline of economic geography and the world of globalisation. Gorden L. Clark, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, University of Oxford The Reader is a rich and diverse collection of more than 50 contributions written by most of the leading economic geographers of the 1990s. I can unconditionally recommend this Reader for any course in Economic Geography Â
no other product on the market can compete in terms of quality and coverage. Rolf Sternberg, University of Cologne
This Reader, in ranging from questions of globalization to local development, from production to consumption, and from markets to institutions, gives an excellent idea of the many advances made in economic geography in recent years. Michael Storper, University of California, Los Angeles Over the past few years, economic geography has undergone a major revival and expansion. Combining over 50 specially edited papers, The Economic Geography Reader brings together many of the key contributions in this revival. This international Reader focuses on the evolving economic geography of the advanced capitalist economies of Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim within the framework of economic globalisation. The book spans the economic geographies of globalisation, new spaces of production and consumption, new landscapes of work and the restructuring of welfare, and includes a specially written introductory chapter, section overviews, and suggested further reading. An important statement on economic geography today, this book provides an indispensable resource for undergraduates in economic geography, regional economics and other related social sciences.
