Research in Geography and Development Studies (as well as in cognate disciplines) can often be descriptive and empirical rather than rigorously conceptual in an explanatory sense. This book presents the case that greater engagement with conceptual thinking and use of philosophical tools allow a more fruitful exploration of social-economic power relations and that fundamental concepts in political economy offer the resources of critique in Geography and Development Studies. The book opens with a discussion of the very idea of conceptualization, informed by the science of political economy and dual philosophical traditions of dialectics and critical realism. It then applies the principles of critical conceptualization to a set of important issues that confront the humanity including: class inequalities, capitalism, regional unevenness, globalization, state power, small-scale production, and poverty. An alternative conceptualization of these issues is presented that emphasizes the processes and relations of socio-economic power between those who control resources and those who do not. Offering a general conceptual perspective on a wide range of issues, this book also provides substantive content and empirical examples from the less developed world from a geographical angle.

Now in a fourth edition, this standard student reference has been totally revised and updated. It remains the definitive introduction to the history, philosophy, and methodology of human geography; now including a detailed explanation of key ideas in human geography's post-modernist and post-structuralist 'turns'. The book is organized into six sections: What is Geography?: an introduction to the discipline, and a discussion of its organization and basic research approaches, informed by the question 'what difference does it make to think geographically?' Foundations of Geography: an examination of geography from Antiquity to the 1950s, with a special focus on human/environment relation. Geography 1950-1980: a critical review of the development of geography as a spatial science. Paradigms and Revolutions: an analysis of paradigm shifts in geography, introducing students to key debates in the philosophy of science. Positivism and its Critics: a detailed discussion of positivism, critical theory, humanistic geography, behavioural geography, and structuralism. New Trends and Ideas developing critical responses: structuration theory, realism, post-structuralism, post-modernism, feminism and actor-network theory. This text explores complex ideas in an intelligible and accessible style. Illustrated throughout with research examples and explanations in text boxes, questions for discussion at the end of each chapter and a concept glossary, this is the essential student companion to the discipline.

A timely assessment of the way global processes are perceived from the Global South, the book is illustrated with over sixty colour photographs. It includes a full glossary of key terms, case studies from fieldwork conducted across a range of communities and nations, and introductions to the wider literature in this field.
