Concise Introduction to Relational Economic Geography - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Our Elgar Concise Introductions are inspiring and considered. They explain the key principles and are expertly written by some of the world’s leading scholars. The aims of the series are two-fold: to pinpoint essential concepts and to offer insights that stimulate critical thinking.

This Concise Introduction develops a relational perspective on the organization and evolution of economies across space, outlining how and where firms and people thrive. It builds on assumptions that economic agency is embedded in institutional contexts, shaped by past decisions and inherently open-ended.

Key Features:

• Links economic geography and regional economics with interdisciplinary fields, including business, management and sociology
• Systematically investigates how economic agency and outcomes differ and connect at regional, national and global scales
• Presents institutions, interaction, organization, innovation and evolution as basic categories of a symbiotic research design
• Proposes that institutional contexts shape economic interaction within and between organizations, stimulating innovation

This innovative book is an essential resource for scholars and students of economics and finance, human geography and economic geography. Economic planners and practitioners will also benefit from its comprehensive insights and practical approach.
