“…GPE is rooted in a conception of combined and uneven development that underlines the importance and worth of comparison in explaining the inter-relations between places, how wider processes unfold in particular places, how places feed into the operation of broader structures, and how the positions of places in spatial divisions of labour evolve over time (Massey 1995). 'Incorporated comparison' (McMichael 1990) provides an appropriate method for empirical research underpinned by such relational understandings.…”

“…In an evolutionary GPE, this can comprise a set of local economies formed through their relations with each other, involving: common economic activities or industries; direct flows of materials, knowledge and actors; similar positions within wider spatial divisions of labour; or shared exposure to particular forms of economic shock (Bristow et al 2014;Massey 1995). Second is the selection of the kind of comparison across space and time.…”

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.

“…Much Marxist economic geography in the 1980s was concerned to explain uneven regional development as an historical process. For example, Massey's (1984) important work on the spatial divisions of labour was founded on the argument that the economic landscape inherits the legacies of its past development and that these legacies exert an influence on its present and future development. And David Harvey's central aim was (and still is) to explain uneven regional development as an historical process driven by capitalism's episodic phases of accumulation and crisis, as a dialectic between preserving the values of past commitments made at a particular place and time, and devaluing them to open up fresh room for accumulation at some future point in time (Harvey, 1982(Harvey, , 1985(Harvey, , 2006; see also Smith, 1982).…”

“…Indeed, the national scale of socioeconomic regulation has been dynamically constituted by -and in turn re-constructed -processes occurring at the subnational and international scales (Massey, 1984;Peck, 2002;Brenner 2004). How state apparatuses 'relate' to the 'totality of capitalist social relations', Harvey (2005a: 81) explains, is predicated on an active and regular reconstruction of what constitutes the national.…”
