Advanced Producer Service Firms as Strategic Networks, Global Cities as Strategic Places (2014, background): “One of the examples he draws on in his broad discussion of positionality is the “status” of cities being defined “by their position within transnational networks” so that “one can see that the role and trajectory of such cities is bound up with their positionality” (Sheppard, 2002, 324).”
Corporate Ecologies of Business Travel in Professional Service Firms (2009, neutral): “At its simplest, as Sheppard (2002) reminds us, this is because time doesn " t completely trump space and metric distance continues to determine the degrees of connectivity between places.”
Rethinking relational economic geography (2005, background): “While implicit elements of relational thinking about spatial scales were evident in radical political economy during the 1980s, it is not until the early 1990s and henceforth that a relational view of geographies of scales has been receiving serious research attention (Swyngedouw 1992 1997; Brenner ”
Relational Economic Geography: A Partial Understanding or a New Paradigm? (2008, background): “Many economic geographers are clearly unhappy with this ontology and have argued that relationalism should recognize relations between structure and agency (Dicken, Kelly, Olds, and Yeung 2001; Yeung 2000, 2005a; Shepherd 2002; Hudson 2004; Ettlinger 2003; Castree 2002).”
Geographical political economy (2011, background): “…as much by their positionality within broader economic systems; their uneven connectivities with other places (greater connectedness need not reduce inequality); and their embeddedness within multi-scalar economic, political, cultural and biophysical processes (Amin, 2002; Sheppard, 2002, 2006c).”
Building Trust in Economic Space (2006, methodology): “…the means through which agents ‘act at a distance’ (ie, extra-locally) on one another, and the social and cognitive spaces where performances occur and relationships are embedded and ‘ordered’ (Law, 1986; Latour, 1987; Mol and Law, 1994; Murdoch, 1995; 1997; 1998; Sheppard, 2002; Hess, 2004).”
Theorizing practice in economic geography: Foundations, challenges, and possibilities (2011, neutral): “…or so it goes, dilutes the politics of relational thinking and/or raises problematic questions about what relational scholars study and why (Hetherington and Law, 2000; Leitner and Sheppard, 2002; Sheppard, 2002; Mayer, 2003; Smith, 2003; Peck, 2005; Hadjimichalis and Hudson, 2006; Sunley, 2008).”
Rethinking the Port (2006, background): “It is clear that as port geographers begin to rescale the port they should look to the recent debates in human geography over scalar construction (compare for critical reviews, Brenner, 2001; Sheppard, 2002).”
Quo vadis neoliberalism? The remaking of global capitalist governance after the Washington Consensus (2010, background): “…less and less, with the implication that it is the conditions in a place, rather than its connectivity to the rest of the world, that becomes the important differentiating factor (for critiques of such claims, in both the mainstream and political economic literatures, see Sheppard, 2002, 2006).”
