“…As Jones (2015) argues, rather than having been eclipsed by the growth of these post-prefix perspectives, GPE remains influential in a number of areas of contemporary economic geography. This is evident in, for instance, work on cultural political economies Oosterlynck 2008, Jones 2008), global production networks (Yeung and Coe 2015), probabilistic analysis (Plummer and Dezzani 2012) and environmental economic geography (Castree 2010), in addition to debates about the direction of EEG (Hassink et al 2014;MacKinnon et al 2009). …”

“…This much is recognised by its protagonists, echoing longstanding issues in economic geography (Massey and Meegan 3 1985, Markusen 1999, Yeung 2003 and broader social science (Hodgson and Knudsen 2010, Lawson 1997, Potts 2000, Sayer 2000. The call for more "methods talk" (Barnes et al 2007: 24) is timely for EEG in taking stock of its achievements, blind spots and shortfalls, identifying ways of addressing its challenges, and discerning promising future research directions Frenken 2010, 2015;Boschma and Martin 2010, Coe 2010, Grabher 2009, Hassink et al 2014, Martin and Sunley 2015.…”

“…In so doing, our aim is to distinguish and elaborate one particular way of doing evolution in economic geography rather than trying to privilege GPE as the "main alternative" or "most convincing" perspective in EEG (cf. Hassink et al 2014, Martin 2012a). …”

Evolutionary approaches in economic geography face questions about the relationships between their concepts, theories, methods, politics and policy implications. Amidst the growing but unsettled consensus that evolutionary approaches should employ plural methodologies, the aims here are, first, to identify some of the difficult issues confronting those working with different frameworks. The concerns comprise: specifying and connecting research objects, subjects and levels; handling agency and context; engaging and integrating the quantitative and the qualitative; comparing cases; and, considering politics, policy and praxis. Second, the purpose is to articulate a distinctive geographical political economy approach, methods and illustrative examples in addressing these issues. Bringing different views of evolution in economic geography into dialogue and disagreement renders methodological pluralism a means towards improved understanding and explanation rather than an end in itself. Confronting such thorny matters needs to be embedded in our research practices and supported by greater openness, more and better substantiation of our conceptual, theoretical and empirical claims, enhanced critical reflection, and deeper engagement with politics, policy and praxis.

“…Lemoigne (1995) s'emploie ainsi à démarquer les épistémologies « constructivistes », des épistémologies « positivistes » et « réalistes ». Mais aujourd'hui, des épistémologies proches des théories évolutionnistes (Darwin et autres intégrant la question des apprentissages et des émergences), exercent une influence montante sur plusieurs champs de recherches (sciences de la vie et sciences sociales, Hassink et al, 2014).…”

New economic geography is a term used in two ways in the international literature. First, and foremost, it is used to refer to the work done by Paul Krugman and other economists, who developed abstract models to explain spatial concentration and specializations leading to persistent regional economic disparities. Their main contribution has been to put geography back on the map of economists. According to economic geographers, however, geographical economics has not taken geography seriously enough. This criticism mainly stems from scholars who have themselves been active in a strand of literature in economic geography, which, rather confusingly, has also been called new economic geography or the cultural turn in economic geography. The evolutionary economic geography paradigm provides solutions to some of the shortcomings of both strands of research going on in new economic geography.
