内容説明・目次

内容説明

Taking a global approach to economic geography, this text analyses the changing character of human and physical resources and provides an introduction to spatial economics. The book provides a thorough review of the theories of location and trade and demonstrates the interrelatedness of spatial processes, and uses real-world examples and simplified diagrams throughout. The authors examine the forces reshaping the global economy, the new sequence of stages of economic development that is emerging, and the cultural differences among nation-states that serve as countervailing pressures to globalization.
