- Built around an expansive multi-sited field research including interviews with clothing factory workers in Zambia, a year-long study with market traders in Mozambique, and insights from clothing traders and the charity sector in the UK, this project traces global networks that connect the North and South. The international scope extends beyond that found in most geographical monographs and provides new insights that have garnered widespread popular and academic interest. Challenging primary research and novel theorisation of trade and uneven development are combined. The work makes the critical contribution of bringing the systems of provision approach from heterodox economics into geography.
