The Geography of the World Economy provides an in-depth and stimulating introduction to the globalization of the world economy.

Illustrated in color throughout, this new edition has been completely reworked and updated to take account of recent significant changes in the world economy.

A new companion website also accompanies the book, with additional resources for each chapter including multiple choice and short essay questions and links to relevant websites. Figures and tables are also available for download located at www.routledge.com/cw/knox

The text is signposted throughout with an glossary of key terms, and is richly illustrated with full-color maps, diagrams and illustrations. It is ideal for upper level university undergraduates and for post-graduates in a variety of specializations including geography, economics, political science, international relations and global studies.
