Critical geoeconomics, critique of geoeconomics or something else?
本文认为对地缘经济学进行谱系学批判很有价值，但批判性地缘经济学的价值不确定，强调具体分析（如制度与权力精英分析）比宏观理论更有解释力。
I argue that a genealogical critique of geoeconomics is highly valuable but a critical geoeconomics, as proposed by Mallin and Sidaway, is of less certain value. Even if a useful critical geoeconomics approach is framed, the real traction in a geoeconomic (or geopolitical, or geopolitical economic) explanation has to be gained by specific analytical approaches that are more granular than the general theoretical vistas provided by geoeconomics, geopolitics or geopolitical economy. I highlight this by noting the traction a detailed institutional and power elite analysis provides in explanation of recent ventures by the US National Security State.
