What is the applicability scope of the economic geography?
The Applicability Scope:
This type of the scope includes the scope for application to the economic geography of the 5 main phenomena created by the human beings like the philosophies, the theories, the academic disciplines, the uses/practical application and the methodologies. As such, we have the scope for studying in depth the diverse philosophies, the theories and the academic disciplines because we in the economic geography profusely draw upon these aforesaid three phenomena.
We can study the subjects like the economics, the psychology, the sociology and the math, etc. Also, we can peruse various economic, political, social and cultural philosophies like the Marxism, Capitalism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, etc., and see the extent of their influence on the economic geography. Further, we have the scope for studying the various theories used in the economic geography.
In addition, we may study the economic geography in terms of the practical application to the human life, i.e., how it solves our problems of the economic underdevelopment or say the development of the effective transport network.
Finally, we have the scope for adopting the different approaches. In other words, we have numerous ways of studying the economic geography. For example, we can follow an isolationist approach to study the economic geography of a given area, say in terms of the transportation network only or else we may pursue an integrated/holistic approach to do the same in terms of studying everything in the given area.
In sharp contrast to the above mentioned 5 principle phenomena, the elements of the space and time have not entirely been created by the humans. These two have already been in the existence even before the evolution of the humans on this earth. The humans have at the best simply classified these two dimensions into numerous categories, i.e., the time into the past, the present and the future categories.
It must be noted here that the 4 phenomena - the philosophies, the theories, the practical application and the different academic disciplines - may be studied as individual phenomena as such in their own right.
Simultaneously, these can very well be studied as a part of different methodologies applied. For example, one may study the different subjects separately, since their subject matter is relied upon in the economic geography. At the same time, one can use such a study as aforesaid as a special methodology of sort to see how these subjects are interrelated with each other and the economic geography.
Accordingly, one can draw upon the relevant material from these subjects instead of reinventing the wheel or redoing the whole thing all over again to draw the valid conclusions in the field of the economic geography.
