Over the last few decades, circuits of capital have been stretched through processes of economic globalisation, leading to complex and hybrid outcomes that result in different modes of production and consumption. Understanding these new economic configurations and their geographic patterns requires incorporating new theoretical arguments based on, for example, chain and network concepts. This edited volume brings together theoretically-informed analysis from Asia, Europe and North America to illustrate the way in which new economic configurations have been developed and to understand individual, local and regional responses to a variety of global challenges, threats and opportunities. The different examples presented illustrate that economic structures and flows have changed dramatically over the past decades with profound impacts for the economic and regional actors involved.The proposed book will offer a new exploration of the economic impacts of globalisation and the distinctive contribution of human geography (economic geography in particular) to the debate in this field. It critically appraises new economic configurations from situated geographical perspectives, illustrates how network and chain theories lead to a better understanding of the globalisation phenomenon and examines the impacts of these transformations 'on the ground' using examples from Asia, Europe and North America. It focuses on the underlying processes of globalising worlds within which new economic configurations will be better understood by using geographical perspectives.The book produces new critical work on the nature of economic globalisation from geographical perspectives. It is organised into seven closely related, but distinct, parts: Part 1: Cross-border Industry Development; Part 2: Geographical Perspectives on Investment; Part 3: Automobile Industry and Globalising Networks; Part 4: Cluster Developments in Globalising Worlds; Part 5: Labour Markets, International Knowledge Flows and Entrepreneurship; Part 6: Industries, Events and Disasters; and Part 7: Competing from the Edge of the Global Economy.In all seven sections, the basic theme of new economic configurations emerges (directly and indirectly) and serves as the scaffolding for the entire collection. Each section shifts one or more frontiers - conceptual, theoretical, policy and empirical - in the international literature. The explicit geographical perspectives of each chapter situate networking responses and aspirations in ways that are only partly recognised in the available literature.
