- Title
On the genealogy of geoeconomics.
- Authors
Slobodian, Quinn
- Abstract
This commentary on Felix Mallin and James Sidaway's (2023) article on 'Critical geoeconomics' returns to the German Historical School of economics to recall their emphasis on geography, history and culture, but also their frequent advocacy for imperial expansion and colonial annexation. It revisits the divide between the Historical School's vision of the world economy and that of Austrian School marginalists and suggests that we can understand geoeconomics as the expression of a desire for sovereignty in an era of mutual interdependence. This response to Felix Mallin and James Sidaway's genealogy of the category of geoeconomics follows them in returning to early‐twentieth century debates in German‐language economics. It suggests that the divorce between geography and economics under neoclassical and neoliberal epistemology can be reconciled through geoeconomics, but that we should remain aware of the risks this entails.
