Economic Geography: A Century of History
Benko, Georges
Economic Geography: A Century of History - 2008.
44
This article discusses the evolution of the major trends in economic geography over the course of a century. First, the precursors of these trends are highlighted in terms of their knowledge during their period of emergence. The second period is then devoted to regional science, and its several turning points, including Marxists but also others like the author Paul Claval. The final phase reflects the 'territorial turning point' in modern geography, and its many trends, such as regulation and the proximities between them. I conclude by positing the existence of two major axes that harmoniously diverge within economic geography, and that are playing complementary roles.
