From regional to global and back again? A future agenda for regional evolution and (de)globalised production networks in regional studies Open
This paper builds common grounds for a future research agenda in the regional studies of evolutionary economic geography and global production networks. I put forward two ‘troubling themes’ of (geo)politics and heightened risks as the most…

Why is causal explanation critical in/to economic geography? Open
This intervention elaborates on why causal explanation can serve as an indispensable building block towards robust theory development in economic geography. It argues for the critical importance of causal explanation in the subfield’s inte…

Explaining Geographic Shifts of Chip Making toward East Asia and Market Dynamics in Semiconductor Global Production Networks Open
Few recent geographic studies have focused on how market dynamics might explain macroregional shifts in industrial production. This article examines the pivoting of semiconductor manufacturing toward East Asia during the 2010s, drawing upo…

Regional worlds: from related variety in regional diversification to strategic coupling in global production networks Open
This annual lecture paper bridges two influential but parallel literature strands on evolutionary economic geography (EEG) and global production networks (GPN). It argues that both strands are premised on their different conceptions of ‘re…

The trouble with global production networks Open
Some sympathetic critics have recently found trouble with the latest iteration of the global production networks theory (GPN 2.0) developed in economic geography. I term these immanent critiques “GPN trouble” and address them in this Excha…

What kind of theory for what kind of human geography? Open
While upholding the analytical relevance of a better distinction of mechanism from process in the geographical analysis of uneven development, the five commentators of my forum paper have raised some critical epistemological issues that pr…

Rethinking mechanism and process in the geographical analysis of uneven development Open
Speaking directly to economic and political geographers working on uneven development, this article critically examines the deployment of two key concepts, mechanism and process, as analytical tools for causal explanation in geographical a…

Global production networks: mapping recent conceptual developments Open
In this framing paper for the special issue, we map significant research on global production networks during the past decade in economic geography and adjacent fields. In line with the core aim of the special issue to push for new concept…
