The profile "Economic Geography" centers on the movements of goods, people, capital and knowledge in the global network economy. Economic globalization is understood as a process accompanied by the simultaneous dissolution and reinforcement of social and spatial differences, questioning traditional territorial forms of political and social organization. Global production networks and transnational corporations, markets and value chains, innovation and knowledge, consumption and labor migration as well as the economic policy are at the center of interest in this profile. Although the regional focus is on Germany, North-South relations are a common point of reference for these themes.
