Setting out to explore the intersections of economy and geography, this book brings together contributions from the world’s top economic geographers. .. forty contributors draw upon contemporary theory and experience to explore the cultural and social constitution of economic geographies, processes of globalisation and new forms of political regulation and practice. Although focusing upon ‘new’ economic geography, the book also illustrates the many connections with precious scholarship as scholars seek to reconstruct the traditions of political economy to understand the contemporary world. Highlighting and illustrating contemporary developments, Geographies of Economies demonstrates the central relevance of economic geography, not only in understanding the trajectories of change, but also in proposing alternatives. In pointing to new directions of research and debate, this major statement on the state of the art in economic geography opens up discussions about the nature and implications of geographies of economies for the dynamics and directions of political change..
