Economics and Human Geography

Faulconbridge, J. R.; Hall, S.

Abstract

© 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. At first glance, economics and human geography seem to have much in common. However, the relationship between the two disciplines has been dynamic and contested over recent years as epistemologies and ontologies have diverged and often collided. The relationship has gone from a stage where interdisciplinary engagement seemed possible and fruitful to one where there is disagreement about the usefulness of exchanges between economists and human geographers. Much of this can be related to internal debates within human geography about the identity, methodology, core questions, and policy relevance of the discipline. This raises questions about how human geographers and economists might interact in future post-disciplinary academics worlds.
