Space is not simply a banal backdrop against which work and employment processes and relations operate. Rather, the specific geographical context both colours, and is coloured by, the modes and nature of work and employment taking place in that context. Moreover, these issues are magnified by the tensions between processes operating at the local and global scales. the volume is particularly timely in the light of the recent credit crisis.' - Philip McCann, University of Groningen, the Netherlands
