Abstract

[This chapter scrutinises the loose grouping of studies on Environmental Economic Geography and reveals their great potential. Although current literature is fragmented and poly-vocal, the ongoing theoretical development of economic geography on regional development, globalisation, innovation, institution, and transition can be well linked with environmental studies. This chapter further reviews the continuous efforts from some economic geographers to develop a coherent EEG. On this basis, this chapter posits four pillars for the conceptual foundation of EEG, namely context-dependence, border-crossing, multi-scale, and co-evolution. These four pillars help to ground EEG on the theoretical foundation of economic geography, representing the locational, relational, institutional, and evolutionary perspectives. These four pillars also propose a research agenda for EEG, which consists of four geographical questions regarding the spatiality, horizontal interdependency, vertical interdependency, and evolution of the environment-economy interactions.]
