Evolutionary Economic Geography, Institutions, and Political Economy
回应MacKinnon等人(2009)的论点,认为演化经济地理学需理论发展以阐明其对空间经济不均发展的独特贡献,指出其与制度经济地理学的区分被夸大,并探讨与政治经济学的潜在重叠。
abstract In this response to MacKinnon et al. (2009 ), I argue that the theoretical development of evolutionary economic geographies is necessary in order to evaluate its unique contribution to an understanding of the uneven development of the space economy; that the distinction between evolutionary and institutional economic geographies is overdrawn; that the neglect of class, power, and the state reflect empirical rather than theoretical shortcomings of the evolutionary approach; and that there is significant potential overlap between evolutionary and political economy approaches.
