Geographies of Financialization in Disarray: The Dutch Case in Comparative Perspective
结合资本主义多样性与金融化研究，通过比较美国、德国和荷兰的金融化轨迹及其政治影响，解释金融化地理差异的原因，对经济地理学者和比较制度研究者有参考价值。
abstract The securitization crisis that started in mid‐2007 has demonstrated that we are indeed living in a “global financial village” and are all subject to the vagaries of financialization. Nevertheless, the fallout from the credit crisis has not been homogeneous across space. That some localities were hit harder than others suggests that there are distinct geographies of financialization. Combining insights from the “varieties of capitalism” literature with those from the literature on “financialization studies,” the article offers a first take on what may explain these different geographies on the basis of an informal comparison of the trajectories of financialization and their political repercussions in the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands. The article ends with some reflections on how economic geography could be enriched by combining comparative studies on institutionalism and financialization, while its distinct research focus—detailed spatial analysis endowed with a well‐developed sensitivity for geographic variegation—may help overcome the methodological nationalism of much comparative institutionalism.
