  • rethinking path creation a geographical Political Economy Approach
    Economic Geography, 2019
    Co-Authors: Danny Mackinnon, Stuart Dawley, Andy Pike, Andrew Cumbers
    Abstract:

    A burgeoning strand of evolutionary economic geography (EEG) research is addressing questions of regional path creation, based on the idea that place-specific legacies and conditions play a critical role in supporting the emergence of new economic activities. Yet there has been little effort thus far to take stock of this emerging body of research. In response, the aims of this article are to offer a fresh synthesis of recent work and to develop a broader theoretical framework to inform future research. First, it presents a critical appraisal of the state of the art in path creation research. In an effort to address identified gaps in EEG research, this incorporates insights from sociological perspectives, the global production networks Approach, and transition studies. Second, the article's development of a systematic theoretical framework is based on the identification of key dimensions of path creation and their constitutive interrelations. This contribution is underpinned by a geographical Political Economy (GPE) Approach that provides the ontological basis for the integration of the five key dimensions of path creation within an overarching framework and the positioning of regional processes in relation to the broader dynamics of uneven development. Informed by GPE, the argument is that knowledgeable actors, operating within multiscalar institutional environments, create paths through the strategic coupling of regional and extraregional assets to mechanisms of path creation and associated markets. To inform further research, the article outlines four concrete propositions regarding the operation of path creation processes in different types of regions and explores these through case studies of Berlin and Pittsburgh.

First, it presents a critical appraisal of the state of the art in path creation research. In an effort to address identified gaps in EEG research, this incorporates insights from sociological perspectives, the global production networks (GPN) Approach and transition studies. Second, the paper?s development of a systematic theoretical framework is based upon the identification of key dimensions of path creation and their constitutive inter-relations. This contribution is underpinned by a geographical Political Economy (GPE) Approach which provides the ontological basis for the integration of the five key dimensions of path creation within an overarching framework and the positioning of regional processes in relation to the broader dynamics of uneven development.

  • The World Economy: Global Trade Policy 2010 - China Trade Policy Review: A Political Economy Approach
    The World Economy, 2020
    Co-Authors: Jun Zhang
    Abstract:

    Chinese trade policy has experienced great reversal in the year of 2008. A series of constraining measures taken previously have been loosened eventually. We investigate this situation using a Political Economy Approach. Unlike in democratic countries, where interest groups play a crucial role in trade policy change, in China, given the Political reality, leaders will and trade partners pressure are the determinant factors. We call this top-down and outside-in trade policy. Actually the idea of harmonious society and scientific development emphasised by top leaders in October 2006 paved the road for the following trade policy adjustment: i.e. reducing tax rebate, limiting processing trade, compressing the catalogue for foreign investment, etc. However, with the shock of a global financial tsunami, these measures get coastal areas relying on foreign trade heavily into trouble. The economic downturn in Pearl River Delta even astonished the decision-making body, calling on a quick reversal in foreign trade policy. If interest groups had been allowed to express their demand formally and adequately from the very start, the cycle of taking up first but giving up last in policy design would have not taken place. In other words, the bottom-up and inside-out trade policy should be more stable. Although flexibility is necessary in the face of uncertainty, frequent and discretionary trade policy change usually produces effects of pro-government not pro-market. This is unfavourable for the transformation in China. The constraining trade policy in mid-2007 to mid-2008 has been a part of the governments desire to seek healthier development. However, with the inside and outside surroundings getting worse, the structural adjustment (long-run objective) has had to concede to the economic growth (short-run objective).
