Geografias econômicas variegadas do neoliberalismo e do desenvolvimento desigual: uma introdução às contribuições de Jamie Peck

Abstract

Anglophone economic geography has undergone a period of intense transformation in recent decades, broadening its approaches and interdisciplinary dialogues. This article introduces the special issue of Revista Geografias, dedicated to the work of Jamie Peck, renowned for his influential contributions to economic geography. Peck integrates insights from political economy, institutionalism, and critical geography to examine topics such as uneven development, policy mobility, and urban governance. The special issue includes translations of texts that highlight his contributions to understanding contemporary global dynamics, exploring connections between markets, public policies, and economic and territorial transformations. This article contextualizes how these perspectives can enrich research agendas in Brazil and Latin America, which face specific challenges in articulating scales and diffusing urban and regional models. As an introduction to the special issue, this article aims to facilitate readers' engagement with the translated works, broadening access to Peck's scholarship and fostering substantive dialogue between the experiences of the Global South and the Global North.
