Provides an in-depth and stimulating introduction to the theory and practice of economic geography. In this revised and expanded edition, Paul Knox and John Agnew offer new geographical perspectives on the dynamics of local, regional and global economic organization over the long historical term. Particular emphasis is given to the globalization of the world economy and its effects on both developed and developing countries. By adopting a global perspective, the authors develop a new framework for explaining economic geographical change in relation to broader theoretical shifts in human geography as a whole. Additional features to this edition include a glossary of key terms, revised chapter summaries and a new concluding chapter.

(For over two hundred years the domination of some countri...)
For over two hundred years the domination of some countries by others has been intrinsic to international relations, with national economic and political strength viewed as essential to a nation's survival and global position. Mastering Space identifies the essential features of this "state-centredness" and suggests an optimistic alternative more in keeping with the contemporary post-Cold War climate. Drawing on recent geopolitical thinking, the authors claim that the dynamism of the international political economy has been obscured through excessive attention on the state as an unchanging actor. Dealing with such topical issues as Japan's rise to economic dominance and America's perceived decline, as well as the global impact of continued geographical change, the book discusses the role of geographical organization in the global political economy, and the impact of increasing economic globalisation and political fragmentation in future international relations. The authors identify the present time as crucial to the global political economy, and explore the possibilities of moving the world from mastering space to real reciprocity between peoples and places. John Agnew is a Professor of Geography at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University. Stuart Corbridge is a lecturer in Geography at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Sidney Sussex College.
