Regions and the search for spatial justice: a question of capacity?
通过能力视角审视空间正义的学术与政策争论，基于Horizon 2020项目实证，分析了区域行动者在资源分配、制度构建和政策制定三方面的能力，指出能力提升虽是空间正义的前提，但并不能保证其实现。
This paper examines scholarly and policy debates concerning the notion of spatial justice through reference to the idea of capacity. Our empirical material, drawn from a Horizon 2020 project, highlights a concern with three different yet overlapping aspects of capacity in relation to spatial justice, namely the capacity of regional actors: to make decisions concerning the distribution of resources and services; to create or enact appropriate formal and informal institutional structures to realise policy goals; and to develop spatially just policies in ways that recognise the geographical contexts in which they operate. Our study illustrates the need for additional clarity when viewing spatial justice as a matter of capacity. It also highlights the fact that enhanced capacity, alone, while an important precursor of spatial justice, does not guarantee spatial justice within specific regional settings.
