Abstract

In studies of the financial and economic crisis of 2008/09, the postconstructivist approach to financial geography in particular, and to economic geography in general, has recently seen a surge in popularity. Interpreting economic developments on the basis of cognitive patterns, ritualized bodies of knowledge and media discourses, as found in the works of Donald MacKenzie, Michel Callon and Karin Knorr Cetina, has become a standard of research in the field of financial geography. How this surge in theory-building can be integrated with the approaches most commonly being used in economic geography has been the subject of various publications, including the Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftsgeographie (vol. 59, issue 4).This collection of articles, edited by Bob Jessop, Brigitte Young and Christoph Scherrer, focuses on the intersection between two social scientific approaches to the financial sector: postconstructivism and political economy. Thus, these contributions can also inform the debate in economic geography. Right from the outset – in both the comprehensive introduction by Bob Jessop and Christoph Scherrer and the lead article written by Ngai-Ling Sum and Bob Jessop – the focus is on the cultural political economy (CPE) approach. The aim of this approach is to avoid the “structuralist Scylla and constructivist Charybdis
