Recognition theory, political agency and intersubjective institutions
Austerity remains a critical feature of contemporary urban politics and governance. Yet there is scope in studies of austerity and related forms of resistance, and urban governance more generally, for greater conceptualisation of why and how human political agency develops, and their interwoven relationship with broader societal institutions. Axel Honneth’s (1995, 2012, 2014, 2016) recognition theory is utilised for the examination of how collect…
Foregrounding agency and deliberative relations in GPN 2.0
The Global Production Networks (GPN) 2.0 approach requires greater conceptualization of human actors and deliberative (power) relations. This includes the social construction and heterogeneous composition of human actors, nature of their decision-making, role of deliberations in strategies and actions, and the relational nature of power. This paper applies the process philosophy perspective of Alfred North Whitehead to develop a more social const…
The firm in 21st century economic geography
This anniversary commentary examines, firstly, the role of the Journal of Economic Geography and economic geography accounts more broadly, in the conceptual and empirical explication of the firm in the last 25 years. Secondly, the commentary identifies and explores future avenues of research that are required in the present and future as the nature of the firm changes, as well as aspects of the firm that have been neglected
Agency, Temporalities, and the Mediation of Covid within Global Production Networks
While the global production networks (GPNs) approach produces important conceptual insights into the causal factors influencing GPNs, studies have been less concerned with the temporal intricacies of decision-making by actors. This article extends the GPN approach by examining why and how firms in the Welsh automotive sector have constructed and performed particular temporalities in response to the upheavals of COVID. A process philosophy perspec…
Contested Spaces of Exchange
The India-Bangladesh border is the world's fifth longest land border, a focus of political tension in an area with vibrant informal economies. Cross-border communities share culture and language and informal cross-border trade (ICBT) is well-established. This article explores ICBT on the Indian side of the border, examining its actors, power relations and spatial dimensions, and the vulnerabilities of those involved. Debates on the social and cul…
Uncertainty, fictional expectations and economic agency
Major periods of regulatory, institutional and economic upheaval can have significant impacts on firms. They have to mediate resulting uncertainties, but where such actions are geographically uneven as firms respond in different ways. Actors construct mental representations of a future reality based on existing understandings of a situation, which seeks to influence and guide other actors, termed ‘fictional expectations’ (Beckert, 2016). These is…
Brexit, the mediation strategies of foreign corporate subsidiaries and regional resilience
The period leading up to Brexit in the UK has led to foreign corporate subsidiaries having to mediate uncertainties and upheaval, forming part of broader regional resilience tendencies. The roles of subsidiaries, their corporate contexts, global production network positions and regional coupling are all heterogeneous, meaning that responses are likely to be disparate. Utilizing ‘dynamic managerial capabilities’ and subsidiary competences perspect…
Austerity, teleological ‘ends’ and the timespace practices of the state organisation
The impact of austerity on urban governance has become a key area of academic concern, but many studies tend to interpret the effect on individual urban state bodies through analysis of broader governance relations, whilst also framing austerity as an overarching and homogeneous set of ideas, values and practices. In response, this paper examines a city government’s economic development department as a means in which to understand how the heterog…
Understanding the impact of Brexit
Market and institutional shocks and upheaval, brought about by political, economic and social changes, have the potential to generate significant corporate restructuring. Foreign subsidiaries are particularly vulnerable to such impacts given the embeddedness of parent companies in their home countries, with the potential for disinvestment and regional decoupling. This paper examines the impact of the Brexit vote and negotiation period on UK-based…
Time for change
The corporation remains a critical agent in the production of geographically uneven development. Furthermore, time is critical to the practices and deliberations taking place within corporations, yet it has been underappreciated within prominent economic geographical analyses. This article argues for the examination of the ‘black box’ of the corporation, as a site producing uneven development, and through which the temporalities of decision-makin…
Brexit and the discursive construction of the corporation
The UK decision to exit the EU in 2016 has led to economic uncertainty. Foreign corporations with UK subsidiaries have sought to mediate these uncertainties while a final agreement is negotiated. Critical to this is the relationship between headquarter-subsidiary relations (HQs) and these subsidiaries. Discourse analysis has increasingly been used to examine corporate relations, with the corporation viewed as socially constructed through discours…
The institutions and heterogeneous geographical relations of austerity
There is a general consensus that austerity is variegated in nature, but that a generic feature is the construction of discursive institutions framing the necessity for austerity and guiding actors. However, what is missing from accounts within political science and related disciplines is an appreciation of how these work through heterogeneous geographical relations. This paper examines how austerity has been discursively framed, justified and ar…
Entrepreneurial urbanism, austerity and economic governance
Many austerity accounts focus on the shrinkage of city governments, with less emphasis on state-building responses. Utilising the Cultural Political Economy approach, this article examines the ‘selection’ of pro-growth ‘economic imaginaries’ that seek to mediate austerity. These issues are examined by way of a case study analysis of the city government of Coventry, UK. The article finds that a pro-growth/market imaginary dominates through sedimen…
Revisiting the multinational enterprise in global production networks
This article presents further opportunities to develop the Global Production Network (GPN) approach by reopening the ‘black box’ of the multinational enterprise (MNE) through a structuration perspective. It emphasises three aspects to a renewed focus on the agency of MNEs, namely: the importance of the variety of relationships within MNEs between parent and subsidiaries; the importance of dynamic capabilities in underpinning corporate change; and…
The possibilities and limits of political contestation in times of ‘urban austerity’
This paper seeks to provide a conceptual framework in which to examine the social practices of contemporary austerity programmes in urban areas, including how these relate to different conceptions of crisis. Of current theoretical interest is the apparent ease with which these austerity measures have been accepted by urban governing agents. In order to advance these understandings we follow the recent post-structuralist discourse theory ‘logics’ …
City government in an age of austerity
Austerity is an increasingly important feature of urban society in Western countries, both as a site interwoven with the crisis tendencies of capitalism and as spaces mitigating austerity programmes instigated by nation states. Cities have therefore become key spaces in the mediation of 'austerity urbanism', but where such processes involve deliberation, making the production of consensus highly problematic. Such tendencies require far greater in…
Communities, abandonment and ‘recognition’
Urban politics and the social practices of critique and justification
Recent times have witnessed a growing belief in urban spaces as ‘assemblages’ produced through interwoven and spatially differentiated forces that converge at particular sites. There is also continuing interest in the nature of neoliberal tendencies and the rise of post-politics and democracy in urban governance. These accounts typically lack attention towards the comprehensive conceptualization of the heterogeneous logics and mechanics of relati…
Worlds of Justification' in the Politics and Practices of Urban Regeneration
A considerable body of research has developed on processes of neoliberal urban regeneration and gentrification. On the one hand, there are many political economy accounts emphasising the role of economic capital in processes of urban change and gentrification. On the other hand, there is a wealth of governmentality studies on the art of government that fail to explain how ungovernable subjects develop. Similarly, within gentrification studies the…
Les Agamas
Les Agamas sont des textes sanscrits qui régissent le rituel hindou des temples de Shiva. Dans les écoles religieuses, les prêtres en mémorisent par cœur des passages entiers, mais n'apprennent pas à exécuter les rituels conformément aux règles agamiques, comme les réformistes estiment qu'ils devraient le faire. Or, une telle exigence renvoie à une conception moderne des Agamas comme livres saints canoniques, qui a été favorisée par l'impression,…

Crisis and Institutional Change in Urban Governance
Recent studies of new institutional spaces typically underplay the uneven and contested process of institutional change by undervaluing the role of inherited institutions and discourses. This is a critical issue as neoliberal networked forms of governance interact with inherited institutional arrangements, characterised by important path dependencies that guide actors. Contradiction and tensions can emerge, culminating in crisis tendencies, and p…
Mixed Communities
This article examines the adoption, by the New Labour government, of a mixed communities approach to the renewal of disadvantaged neighbourhoods in England. It argues that while there are continuities with previous policy, the new approach represents a more neoliberal policy turn in three respects: its identification of concentrated poverty as the problem; its faith in market-led regeneration; and its alignment with a new urban policy agenda in w…
Urban Governance Under Neoliberalism
In the UK there has been a proliferation of agencies at differing regulatory scales as part of the rescaling and restructuring of the state by New Labour, following the neoliberal policies of previous Conservative governments. This raises questions concerning the extent to which New Labour's urban state restructuring is embedded within neoliberalism, and the local tensions and contradictions arising from emergent New Labour urban state restructur…
Local Economic Development Initiatives and the Transition From Training and Enterprise Councils to New Institutional Structures in England
Current British government economic development policy emphasises regional and sub-regional scale, multi-agent initiatives that form part of national frameworks to encourage a ‘bottom up’ approach to economic development. An emphasis on local multi-agent initiatives was also the mission of Training and Enterprise Councils (TECs). Using new survey evidence this article tracks the progress of a number of initiatives established under the TECs, usin…

Multinationals, Intracorporate Competition, and Regional Development
In this paper we concentrate on a neglected process in the restructuring of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and the formation of spatial divisions of labor. Existing conceptions of interlocality competition for mobile investment and spatial divisions of labor center on the dynamics of new greenfield investment. We provide instead an exploratory analysis of interlocality competition centered on intracorpo-rate competition for repeat investment, b…

Evaluating Local Strategic Partnerships
Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) are a major recent innovation in English local governance. As the 'partnership of partnerships' in a locality, the ability of the LSP to provide an arena for community leadership and joined up service delivery is vital to the Local Government Modernisation Agenda. Drawing on material from the national evaluation of LSPs, this paper assesses their progress. A theory of change (ToC) approach was adopted in the ev…

Multinational Enterprises, Repeat Investment and the Role of Aftercare Services in Wales and Ireland
Fuller C. and Phelps N. A. (2004) Multinational enterprises, repeat investment and the role of aftercare services in Wales and Ireland, Regional Studies38, 783-801. Repeat investment by multinational enterprises (MNEs) at 'foreign owned establishments' has become an important form of investment in recent years and, as such, can be considered a significant aspect of the nexus between corporate processes and host territorial economies. In terms of …
The Economic Development Role of English RDAs
In the late 1990s Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) were introduced into the English economic development policy and partnership landscape. Cited as a way in which to improve regional competitiveness and innovation, their task is to build institutional capacity by creating a strategic context for sub-regional organizations and fostering partnerships. This article examines developing inter-institutional relations between RDAs, sub-regional orga…

Corporate Repeat Investment and Regional Institutional Capacity
This paper examines the role of after-care services in the corporate ‘repeat-investment’ process at foreign-owned establishments (FOEs) in Wales - a region of the UK which has attracted a significant number of inward investors. With the growing importance of repeat investment in peripheral regions, development agencies increasingly seek to support foreign production establishments with ‘after-care services’, such as supply-chain initiatives and l…

Organised for Inward Investment? Development Agencies, Local Government, and Firms in the Inward Investment Process
Inward investment promotion and aftercare remain central aspects of local economic development for English Regional Development Agencies, Scottish and Welsh development bodies, and local authorities in Britain. In many cases, partnership and consultation mechanisms have become integral to attracting inward investment and providing aftercare. Inward investment is thus an important area in which to explore interinstitutional relations between agent…

The Mind of the Social Individual
In the Spring 1998 (56(1): 47-57) and Fall 1998 (56(3): 295-306, 307-310) issues of this review, Howard Sherman and Geoffrey Hodgson debated, inter alia , the extent to which Veblen-Ayres institutionalism is compatible with Marx and recent Marxist work. This paper argues that the differences between Hodgson and Sherman"s positions do not rely on assumptions of "illogical" behavior, individualist arguments or structural conceptions of the individu…
The End of TECs
This paper examines the scale and form of discretionary activity in Training and Enterprise Councils (TECs). Discretionary activity was a key aspect of TECs. In particular it underpinned their role to be flexible local agents offering leadership and finance to lever partnerships with other agents. The paper examines TEC discretionary activity at the peak of its development in 2000. This amounted to about 200m per annum. Their activity covered fie…
