Abstract
ABSTRACTGlobal Restructuring (Fagan, R., and M. Webber. 1994. Global Restructuring: The Australian Experience. Melbourne: Oxford University Press.) and the two-volume Changing Places project (Britton, S., R. Le Heron, and E. Pawson. 1992. Changing Places in New Zealand: A Geography of Restructuring. Christchurch: The New Zealand Geographical Society.); and Le Heron, R., and E. Pawson, eds. 1996. Changing Places—New Zealand in the Nineties. Auckland: Longman Paul. in New Zealand provide very different accounts of economic restructuring in Australia and New Zealand respectively in the early 1990s. Taken together they provide a statement of the prominence of economic geography within antipodean geography at the time. However, the demise of command-and-control economic management that they analysed was already bringing about a defining shift in the fortunes of the sub-discipline. The paper suggests that the two volumes shaped different pathways for economic geography in the two countries. It goes on to ask what this reading might tell us about how to revitalise economic geography in our classrooms and disciplinary debates and contribute new strengths to the discipline more broadly.
