Against the backdrop of profound shifts in the global geopolitical landscape and the accelerated restructuring of the trade system, trade geography—an essential discipline linking economic activities with spatial organization—is demonstrating unprecedented theoretical vitality and real-world relevance. This paper systematically explores the theoretical evolution and interdisciplinary integration trends in trade geography by focusing on five frontier issues: the spatial reorganization of global value chains, the redefinition of trade corridor power, the paradigm shift in digital trade space, ecological embedding driven by green regulations, and the spatial logic of institutional regionalization. It highlights the discipline’s transition from traditional logistics and locational analyses to approaches rooted in complex network modeling, institutional geography, and multidimensional power analysis, reflecting both theoretical renewal and practical transformation in response to emerging challenges in global economic geography. This paper aims to provide a systematic knowledge framework and reference for advancing academic dialogue and informing policy practice in trade geography.
