Description

This comprehensive text explores contemporary geographic topics and perspectives relating to the world economy. The authors provide a strong theoretical and practical foundation for understanding the global economy in an era of shifting borders, restructuring economies and regional realignments. Economic theory is combined with geography to address critical problems of growth, distribution and development, along with their impact on international business. Recent geopolitical changes are vividly portrayed in a series of superb full-colour maps and striking photographs.

The sixth edition includes updated tables and data, colour maps, 2009 economic statistics, a detailed analysis of the global shift in world trade and development, 11 new case studies, and a new premium website with videos, weblinks, RSS feeds and quizzes.
