Against the backdrop of a profound restructuring of global trade patterns, trade geography is undergoing a significant transformation in its research agenda and theoretical paradigms. This paper systematically outlines the latest frontiers in trade geography from five key perspectives: the resilience and restructuring of global value chains; trade-energy-climate nexus studies driven by carbon border adjustment mechanisms; spatial logic transformations in digital and service trade; the reshaping of regional trade networks under geopolitical risks; and the multi-scalar impacts of trade policy uncertainty on regional economies. The paper highlights a paradigm shift in the spatial organization of trade activities—from efficiency-driven models toward new logics that integrate security, sustainability, and technological sovereignty, prompting a transition from single-scale economic analyses to complex systems involving multiple dimensions and actors. By constructing interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks and employing multi-source data analytics, trade geography is poised to more accurately interpret and predict the evolving structure of the global economic landscape. This paper aims to clarify the evolutionary trajectory of trade geography and enhance its capacity for theoretical innovation and policy response amid global uncertainties.
