• Takes a prospective as well as retrospective look at the field, reviewing recent developments, recurrent challenges, and emerging agendas
• Incorporates diverse perspectives (in terms of specialty, demography and geography) of up and coming scholars, going beyond a focus on Anglo-American research
• Encourages authors and researchers to engage with and contextualize their situated perspectives
• Explores areas of overlap, dialogues, and (potential) engagement between economic geography and cognate disciplines
