Global production networks: realizing the potential (2008, methodology): “For instance, drawing on the work of social theorist Jürgen Habermas, Sayer (2001) demonstrates how economic organizations like firms (and the GPNs they are involved in) exist in both the system-world of structural imperatives—capitalist modes of production, markets etc.—and the life-world of…”
Relational Economic Geography: A Partial Understanding or a New Paradigm? (2008, background): “Sayer (2001) emphasized that studies that were influenced by economic sociology often neglected the inevitable systemic impacts of capitalist pressures and market forces and said little about firm costs and cash.”

Geographies of circulation and exchange: constructions of markets (2009, background): “…subjectivities in addition to the processes at the heart of institutional political economy (Jessop and Oosterlynck, 2008; Jessop and Sum, 2006; Sayer, 2001; see also Hudson, 2008). the past have largely ceased to exist, transnational mobility of capital, goods and labor contributing to the…”
Moral Economy and Cultural Work (2006, background): “Such an argument premises a more proactive notion of agency than that prescribed by Marxism or ‘neoliberal fatalism’ (Sayer, 2001: 700) which see modernization leading only to the destruction, rather than the adaptation, of the self.”
Towards a ‘critical cultural political economy’ account of the globalising of education (2015, unknown): “…of social scientists who have sought new ways of understanding modern social formations, their social relations and subjectivities, by bringing political economy into a productive conversation with the cultural turn (cf. Sayer 2001; Jessop 2004, 2009; Jones 2008; Sum 2008; Best and Paterson 2010).”
Institutional change in economic geography (2014, background): “At least implicitly, networks are sometimes portrayed as if they were ultimately democratic, consisting of altruistic agents engaging in ‘friendly’ exchange relationships (critically, Sayer, 2001).”
The Privatization of Education: A Political Economy of Global Education Reform (2016, background): “The interest in power, and powerful forces, is inherent in political economy studies (Sayer, 2001).”
Moral Economy as Critique (2007, background): “Contrary to Polanyi’s critical intentions, the concept of embedding may produce ‘soft’ or domesticated accounts of capitalism.(30) This sociological treatment de-rationalises values, both in the analysis of social practice at large and within social science itself, so that in the latter case they co”
Cultural political economy: On making the cultural turn without falling into soft economic sociology (2008, background): “This crystallised in the Belgian anchoring debate, triggered when the main Belgian holding company, Société Générale (hereafter SG), suffered a share raid in January 1988 by Carlo de Benedetti, an Italian investor.”
Food supply chains and sustainability: evidence from specialist food producers in the Scottish/English borders (2005, background): “Likewise, one has to considerthe essentially economic nature of business development in local or alternative agro-food systems and recognise that a ‘focus on embeddedness can inadvertently produce an overly benign view of economic relations and processes’s ( Sayer, 2001, p. 698 ).”
Alternative (Shorter) Food Supply Chains and Specialist Livestock Products in the Scottish–English Borders (2005, background): “`Soft' conceptualisations of the AFE, notably notions of `trust', `regard', and `social embeddedness' are therefore appropriate (see, for example, Sage, 2003), but need to be assessed within a `hard' economic, or agro-economic, context (Sayer, 2001).”
Embedding Local Places in Global Spaces: Geographical Indications as a Territorial Development Strategy (2010, background): “We need a more robust and critical analysis of the concept of embeddedness, one that considers the processes by which markets become (re-)embedded and recognizes the power relations that underlie these dynamics (Lie 1997; Sayer 2001; Sonnino 2007; Sonnino and Marsden 2006; Uzzi 1997).”
Whither Global Production Networks in Economic Geography? Past, Present, and Future (2006, background): “Moreover, Liu and Dicken's notion of `obligated embeddedness' indicates that embeddedness does not describe a `benign' world of cooperation between different actors without any power asymmetries (Sayer, 2000; 2001).”
