GEG5129 - Economic Geographies - 2024/25

Taking a relational view of the economy, GEG5129 offers a broad introduction to some key debates within Economic Geography. In sum, the module explores: the rise of economic geography; the recentering of Economic Geography through an engagement with the Global South; the centrality of uneven development in capitalist, economic social relations; the inescapable connections between globalisation and local socio-spatial relations; and the always-already existence of ‘alternative’ or ‘diverse’ economic practices. The overarching aim of GEG5129 is to explore the diversity and inequalities of economic development experiences globally, as well as within countries and among nations.
