Economic Geography is the study of the unequal distribution of the world’s resources and economic activity in the global space economy. While the geographic scale of analysis can vary - from a firm, to a cluster or community, to a city, to a country or a region, there is also an emphasis on the relationships between activities taking place within and across these various scales and ‘the global’.
