"The biggest strength of the book is its pedagogic design, which will appeal to new entrants in the field but also leaves space for methodological debates... It is well suited for use on general courses but it also involves far more than an introduction and is full of theoretical insights for a more theoretically advanced audience."

- Economic Geography Research Group

In the last fifteen years economic geography has experienced a number of fundamental theoretical and methodological shifts. Politics and Practice in Economic Geography explains and interrogates these fundamental issues of research practice in the discipline.

Concerned with examining the methodological challenges associated with that 'cultural turn', the text explains and discusses:

qualitative and ethnographic methodologies

the role and significance of quantitative and numerical methods

the methodological implications of both post-structural and feminist theories

the use of case-study approaches

the methodological relation between the economic geography and neoclassical economics, economic sociology, and economic anthropology.

Leading contributors examine substantive methodological issues in economic geography and make a distinctive contribution to economic-geographical debate and practice.

Professor Adam Tickell is Vice Principal (Research, Enterprise and Communications) and an economic geographer. His research interests span political and economic geography, and he is particularly interested in questions of political devolution, regulation, markets and money.

Jamie Peck is Canada Research Chair in Urban & Regional Political Economy and Professor of Geography at the University of British Columbia

Barnes received his Ph.D. in 1983 at University of Minnesota. He began his career as a spatial scientist. In recent years his interest has moved to the history of economic geography.
