Abstract
Geography and public policy are intimately related but explored typically only I relation to what critical geographical thinkers might regard as a simplistic, and certainly highly partial, absolute conceptualisation of space. Using the policy domain of employment support policy as its case study example this chapter explore how richer alternative conceptualisations of geography can serve to illuminate and empower policy analysis and practice.
