Study of History and Development of Economic Geography
Keywords:
Economic, GeographyAbstract
As a distinct discipline of science, geography encompasses a wide range of topics and employs a plethora of methodologies, instruments, and approaches. Studies of migration require a variety of interdisciplinary approaches, such as geopolitical analysis to determine the underlying causes of migration, (geo)demographic analysis to determine the age structure of migrants, behavioural geography to determine how migrants will be integrated, urban (spatial) planning to deal with sudden influxes of migrants, and economic geography to model how the labour market will respond to new arrivals. Geography is a multidisciplinary field, and this case shows that. If we include related fields such as geographic information systems and cartography, an even greater array of geographical analysis becomes available.
