Tentative description:

Economic Geography as a field underwent tremendous transformation throughout the 2010s. The field witnessed the proliferation of newer approaches and the resurgence of earlier research themes as well as a rapidly growing presence of a younger and more diverse group of researchers in economic geography throughout the world.

During the 2010s, the emergence and consolidation of major research foci and communities such as financial geography and global production networks/global value chains became visible. Earlier key themes such as innovation, urban and regional growth and labour geographies also took off in new directions via respectively evolutionary economic geography and diverse geographies of work(ers). Since the mid-2010s, new themes such as digital technologies, marketization, and platform economies have surfaced and taken hold in the field. All of these literature strands are now further enhanced by the much greater geographical diversity in the empirical studies of the Global North and the Global South.

Besides covering these new themes and through a global approach, this handbook provides among others an overview of the key research accomplishments in the field since 2010, examines the major transformation(s) prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic and worldwide disruptions thereafter, geopolitical rivalries, and sustainability challenges since the early 2020s, and specifies critical future agendas in the mid-2020s and through to the 2030s. It also offers a number of new themes in economic geography as well as a section on "reflections and exchanges", which highlights reflexive practices and geographical problematics that have shaped contemporary progress of the field.
