註釋

It is no longer controversial to assert that the 'mainstream' of economic-geographical theorising, including that which defines itself as 'international', emerges from the experiences of Anglo-American regions and is articulated largely in the pages of 'major international journals', published overwhelmingly in English in the UK and USA. However, what is remarkable is that so much economic geography continues to presume that 'the economy' can and should be theorised solely from the perspective of the formal spaces of western economies. This brief intervention seeks to build on work which identifies and measures the Anglo-centrism of economic geography and explores the limits of such economic-geographical research in an attempt to foster what we regard as a long-overdue dialogue between economic geographers and scholars working with postcolonial approaches, broadly defined.
