Geography and the pragmatic tradition: The threefold engagement
Dudley Stamp and theZeitschrift für Geopolitik
Changes in World Trade Flows: Atlantic or Pacific Ocean? There are already many people today who claim that in a not too distant future the Pacific Ocean will have surpassed the Atlantic with regard to economic significance. It is pointed out that the main routes of world sea traffic are being transferred more and more from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is, thus, almost generally expected that there will be a shift in status similar to that whi…

South American heartland: The Charcas, Latin American geopolitics and global strategies
Mackinder's 1904'geographical pivot of history' concept, subsequently developed into his famous 'Eurasian heartland thesis', marginalizes South America, yet his ideas have attracted considerable interest there, including interpretations (and fantasies) of a 'South American heartland'. This paper examines the reception of Mackinder's ideas in Latin American geopolitics and how his heartland thesis was adapted for the South American context. It tra…

Multiple Regression and Spatial Policy Analysis: George Udny Yule and the Origins of Statistical Social Science
Studies on the history of statistics by MacKenzie and on quantitative geography by Barnes have suggested that the lineaments and assumptions of statistical methods such as correlation and regression are closely related to their origin in biometrics and eugenics. This paper challenges that view by examining in detail the work of George Udny Yule. Yule was a colleague of Karl Pearson in the 1890s, but was interested in social science and social pol…
Socialist Geography in England: J. F. Horrabin and a Workers' Economic and Political Geography
This paper examines the life and geographical writings of the English socialist J.F.(“Frank”) Horrabin (1884–1962) and his attempts to construct a socialist geography. Horrabin was an active socialist in the Labour Party, Fabian Society, and other leftwing groups and very involved in working‐class education through the Plebs League and National Council of Labour Colleges. He was also a journalist, cartoonist, and gifted cartographer. His 1923 tex…
Context, Social Construction, and Statistics: Regression, Social Science, and Human Geography
In response to a paper by T J Barnes, published in 1998, the author accepts the same social-constructivist perspective, but argues that the structure of regression was not excessively constrained by its biometric origins. The history of regression and its use in the social sciences is examined, and the author argues that any assessment of regression in human geography must be set against this wider context
Exact Testing for Spatial Autocorrelation among Regression Residuals
This paper develops the exact distribution of the Moran or Cliff-Ord test for spatial autocorrelation among regression residuals. It shows how practical, computational methods can be used to implement the exact test. Higher order approximations to the distribution are also discussed. Empirical applications are provided, and the value of exact testing is discussed
Bayesian Techniques in Spatial and Network Econometrics: 2. Computational Methods and Algorithms
Bayesian theory has been seen as having considerable potential and attractiveness for model estimation and analysis in spatial and network econometrics. However, analytical and computational problems have also been seen as a great barrier. In this paper the analytical simplifications available are developed and the algorithms required are examined. The author argues that, for a broad class of models in spatial econometrics, Bayesian analysis is q…
