期刊介绍:
The Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie is a leading international journal on contemporary issues in human geography, committed to promoting rigorous academic work on the field. Through its scholarly articles and special "dossiers" on topics of interest, it brings you the latest research findings from Europe and around the world in authoritative scientific contributions. The journal bridges the gap between continental European practices of geography and the Anglo-American traditions by including articles from both regions. The Tijdschrift is a channel for the dissemination of new perspectives, ideas and approaches to the study of human geography.
