Abstract

In this piece, I make the case for deeper engagement with law and legal methodologies in economic geography. Recent work in and beyond geography has demonstrated that law is constitutive of capitalism. Yet, despite excellent research on many particular spatio-legal topics, there have been few attempts to conceptualize a legal approach to economic geography in any sustained way. Here, I suggest that incorporating law and legal methodologies into existing economic geographic analyses can deepen our explanations of spatio-temporal economic variegation, opening up new research questions and methods for economic geographers and expanding our conceptions of economic governance, agency, and knowledge.
