W. Neil Adger
Abstract:Future changes in climate pose significant challenges for society, not
the least of which is how best to adapt to observed and potential future impacts
of these changes to which the world is already committed. Adaptation is a
dynamic social process: the ability of societies to adapt is determined, in
part, by the ability to act collectively. This article reviews emerging
perspectives on c... hiện toàn bộ

Edward J. Malecki
Abstract:The Internet is perhaps the defining technology of the emerging
twenty‐first century. This article examines the infrastructure that comprises
the “network of networks” and the spatial patterns that have emerged in the
Internet's short existence. In its brief history, the Internet has manifested a
tentative relationship with the urban hierarchy. This relationship is tracked
over a four‐yea... hiện toàn bộ
The Neglected King: The Customer in the New Knowledge Ecology of InnovationEconomic Geography - Tập 84 Số 3 - Trang 253-280 - 2008
Gernot Grabher, Oliver Ibert, Saskia Flohr
AbstractDespite the universal mantra that “the customer is king,” the role of
the customer has so far seemed to have been confined to a passive recipient of
products. Recently, however, this traditional perception has been challenged. On
the one hand, users are increasingly appreciated as reflexive actors who are
actively involved in the evaluation, modif ication, and configuration of
products. On... hiện toàn bộ

C. Dupuy, Stéphanie Lavigne, Dalila Chenaf‐Nicet
abstractThis article investigates the geography of finance through a study of
the behavior of large equity investors who are key actors in capitalism. The
main argument is based on their expectations in “finance‐driven” capitalism:
large equity investors require high returns on invested capital in a shorter
time and are said to be impatient. The article focuses on their portfolio
turnover in relat... hiện toàn bộ

Eric Neumayer, Richard Perkins
Abstract: There is growing recognition that organizational innovations can have
a major influence on the geography of economic activity. Yet, little is known
about the mechanisms and geographic preconditions underlying their diffusion,
particularly at the global level. In this article, we test a series of
hypotheses about the conditions under which organizations are most likely to
adopt ISO 9000, ... hiện toàn bộ
Selling City Futures: The Financialization of Urban Redevelopment PolicyEconomic Geography - Tập 86 Số 3 - Trang 251-274 - 2010
Rachel Weber
abstractThis article examines the specific mechanisms that have allowed global
financial markets to penetrate deeply into the activities of U.S. cities. A
flood of yield‐seeking capital poured into municipal debt instruments in the
late 1990s, but not all cities or instruments were equally successful in
attracting it. Capital gravitated toward those local governments that could
readily convert the... hiện toàn bộ
Roepke Lecture in Economic Geography—Rethinking Regional Path Dependence: Beyond Lock‐in to EvolutionEconomic Geography - Tập 86 Số 1 - Trang 1-27 - 2010
Ron Martin
abstractThis article argues that in its “canonical” form, the path dependence
model, with its core concept of lock‐in, affords a restrictive and narrowly
applicable account of regional and local industrial evolution, an account
moreover that is tied to problematic underpinnings based on equilibrist
thinking. As such, the canonical path dependence model actually stresses
continuity rather than chan... hiện toàn bộ
