Abstract

The paper examines the intellectual history of economic geography over the last 50 years. Three major episodes of research activity are considered: (a) the spatial analysis and regional science movement of the 1960s; (b) the turn to political economic (especially Marxian) approaches in the 1970s; and the intensification of interest in regional-global interactions since about the mid-1980s. Two minor interludes are also briefly examined; these are represented by behavioural geography and the so-called localities debate. It is suggested that the course of economic geography over the last half-century can best be understood by reference to the sociology of knowledge, i.e., a contextualised but reasoned description of those contextualised but reasoned descriptions that constitute scholarly practice.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
