The Economic Geography literature and beyond has witnessed a growing interest in developing new green regional industrial paths and an increased emphasis on future-oriented green and just regional industrial path development. In this article, we raise new and critical questions about the notion of green and just regional industrial path development regarding who eventually benefits from it and whether the needs of the most vulnerable and marginalized actors are met. From this base, we provide an overview of two burgeoning research themes in this area: (1) the politics and agency of regional future-making narratives and practices and (2) developing new policy capabilities to build transformative resilience and navigate toward socially desirable futures. Finally, the article concludes with future research opportunities related to these promising themes and uncovers the complexities linked to future-oriented green and just regional industrial path development.

在经济地理学文献和其他文献中，人们对开发新的绿色区域产业路径越来越感兴趣，并且越来越强调面向未来的绿色和公正的区域产业路径发展。在本文中，我们就绿色和公正的区域产业路径发展的概念提出了新的和关键的问题，包括谁最终从中受益，以及最脆弱和边缘化参与者的需求是否得到满足。在此基础上，我们概述了该领域的两个新兴研究主题：(1)区域未来制定叙事和实践的政治和机构；(2)发展新的政策能力，以建立变革的弹性，并走向社会理想的未来。最后，文章总结了与这些有前景的主题相关的未来研究机会，并揭示了面向未来的绿色和公正的区域产业路径发展的复杂性。

Food Waste (FW) has been identified as an increasingly urgent global problem, above all due to the associated economic, social and ethical consequences and high environmental costs. The circular economy (CE) concept is widely discussed as an approach to rethinking resource use and minimising waste and energy. Only recently have geographers begun advancing this field, calling for a deeper understanding of how, where, and why circular economies emerge and thrive across various spatial scales. Informed by the geography of sustainability transitions literature, this paper employs a systematic literature review of 52 papers published between 2018 and 2024 to address two aims: First, we provide critical reflections into understandings of CE for the FW sector. We then explore the question in how far contextual and spatial aspects have been considered in the literature on implementing and maintaining CE of FW. We focus on the issue in urban settings as an increasingly important sink of food as urbanisation increases on a global scale. The findings reveal a narrow and largely uncritical understanding of the CE, often framed as technological or managerial fixes rather than systemic transformations. Potential negative consequences, such as the commodification of food waste and the reinforcement of existing inequalities, are rarely considered. The literature also overemphasises public sector actors and often overlooks the contributions of social enterprises, start-ups and community initiatives. Moreover, we find a distinct focus on the material flow of FW through urban spaces, while the role of actor relationships and networks for the CE, including urban-rural linkages, are largely absent from current debates.

食物浪费（FW）已被确定为一个日益紧迫的全球问题，首先是由于相关的经济、社会和道德后果以及高昂的环境成本。循环经济（CE）概念作为一种重新思考资源利用和减少浪费和能源的方法被广泛讨论。直到最近，地理学家才开始推动这一领域的发展，他们呼吁更深入地了解循环经济是如何、在哪里以及为什么在不同的空间尺度上出现并蓬勃发展的。根据可持续性转型文献的地理分布，本文对2018年至2024年间发表的52篇论文进行了系统的文献综述，以实现两个目标：首先，我们为FW部门对可持续发展的理解提供了批判性反思。然后，我们探讨了在实施和维持FW的CE的文献中，语境和空间方面的考虑程度。随着全球城市化进程的加快，我们关注的是城市环境中日益重要的食物储备问题。这些发现揭示了对行政长官的狭隘和基本上不加批判的理解，通常被框定为技术或管理上的修正，而不是系统的变革。潜在的负面后果，如粮食浪费的商品化和现有不平等的加剧，很少被考虑。这些文献还过分强调公共部门的行为者，往往忽视了社会企业、初创企业和社区倡议的贡献。此外，我们发现一个独特的焦点是FW通过城市空间的物质流动，而行动者关系和CE网络的作用，包括城乡联系，在当前的辩论中基本上是缺席的。

This article argues that cryptocurrencies have a hidden, or “crypto”, labour geography. Workers and their institutions have been under theorized in the literature, despite playing an active, yet often contradictory, role in the (re)production of cryptocurrency. Drawing from labour geography, we turn to three issues where workers are producing crypto-landscapes in contradictory ways: labour’s promotion of cryptocurrency mining facilities in post-industrial communities; the role of financialization and pension fund investments in cryptocurrencies; and community struggles for dis/investment in crypto-mining and protests over its environmental implications. We highlight the contradictory relations between labour and capital in the production of crypto landscapes and the populist sentiments among workers that play a role in shaping their development.

本文认为，加密货币具有隐藏的或“加密”的劳动力地理。尽管工人和他们的机构在加密货币的（再）生产中发挥了积极但往往相互矛盾的作用，但在文献中一直被理论化。从劳动力地理学的角度出发，我们转向三个问题，在这些问题上，工人们正在以相互矛盾的方式生产加密货币景观：劳动力在后工业社区促进加密货币挖矿设施；金融化和养老基金投资加密货币的作用；社区也在努力争取对加密货币挖矿的投资，并抗议其对环境的影响。我们强调了加密景观生产中劳动力和资本之间的矛盾关系，以及在塑造其发展中发挥作用的工人中的民粹主义情绪。

Two legal tenders, no currency. El Salvador’s bitcoin adoption between world money and international money 两种法定货币，没有货币。萨尔瓦多在世界货币和国际货币之间采用比特币

This article critically examines the adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador, contextualising it within the legacy of official dollarisation after 2001. First, we empirically assess the benefits and costs of dollarisation, finding that, despite some theoretical claims, the benefits remain questionable in hindsight, while the costs for the country were relatively low. Second, we explore Bitcoin's role as legal tender, proposing its understanding as a form of International Money and its potential in facilitating remittances. Building on this, we show that the existing dollarisation and a ‘soft adoption’ of Bitcoin contributed to a comparatively low risk and low associated costs of introducing Bitcoin as a second legal tender. Third, we situate these developments within the broader geopolitical context, where the global monetary and financial system and the hegemony of the USD (the current World Money) are increasingly being repoliticised. In this light, the adoption of Bitcoin can be seen as a trial-and-error, unsuccessful at best, attempt by the Salvadoran government to enhance its leverage, improve remittance flows, and provide a low-cost escape valve in an evolving global landscape.

本文批判性地考察了比特币在萨尔瓦多作为法定货币的采用，并将其置于2001年后官方美元化的遗产中。首先，我们对美元化的收益和成本进行了实证评估，发现尽管有一些理论上的主张，但在事后看来，收益仍然值得怀疑，而该国的成本相对较低。其次，我们探讨了比特币作为法定货币的作用，提出了将其理解为一种国际货币形式及其在促进汇款方面的潜力。在此基础上，我们表明，现有的美元化和比特币的“软采用”有助于将比特币作为第二法定货币引入相对较低的风险和较低的相关成本。第三，我们将这些发展置于更广泛的地缘政治背景下，全球货币和金融体系以及美元（目前的世界货币）的霸权正日益被重新政治化。从这个角度来看，比特币的采用可以被视为萨尔瓦多政府试图提高其杠杆率，改善汇款流动，并在不断变化的全球格局中提供低成本的安全阀的一次尝试和失败。

Cryptocurrency ATMs and cryptofication of everyday life: The uneven diffusion of crypto into quotidian spaces and places 加密货币atm机与日常生活的加密：加密货币在日常空间和场所的不均匀扩散

Extant geographical literature about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies has focused on unveiling these technologies’ material dimensions (the localized impacts of cryptocurrency ‘mining’) and evaluating their potential to disrupt or disintermediate the financial sector. Less has been said about the ‘consumer end’ of these technologies (e.g. the purchase, sale, and exchange of cryptocurrencies). The present paper makes a preliminary attempt to address this gap in the literature by examining cryptocurrency ATMs (CATMs) – one of numerous ‘points of contact’ between ‘the virtual’ and ‘the material’ within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Drawing inspiration from literature on FinTech-inflected financialization of everyday life and ‘financial democratization’, the authors use quantitative data to demonstrate that cryptocurrencies, via CATMs, are increasingly embedded into quotidian spaces, but in an uneven, variegated fashion. This implies that CATMs are an as-yet specialized financial innovation, but which might be disproportionately encountered by particular social groups. Building on this observation, the authors argue that CATMs, like other forms of FinTech, might represent another area in which user-interface design is used to encourage the use of ‘fringe’ financial products among marginalized populations. The article concludes by summarizing this research and indicating potential directions for future research.

关于加密货币和区块链技术的现有地理文献侧重于揭示这些技术的物质维度（加密货币“挖矿”的局部影响），并评估它们破坏金融部门或去中介化的潜力。关于这些技术的“消费者端”（例如加密货币的购买、销售和交换）的说法较少。本文通过研究加密货币atm （catm）——加密货币生态系统中“虚拟”和“物质”之间的众多“接触点”之一，初步尝试解决文献中的这一差距。从金融科技影响的日常生活金融化和“金融民主化”的文献中获得灵感，作者使用定量数据证明，通过catm，加密货币越来越多地嵌入日常空间，但以不均匀、多样化的方式。这意味着catm是一种专业化的金融创新，但可能会被特定的社会群体不成比例地遇到。基于这一观察，作者认为，与其他形式的金融科技一样，catm可能代表了另一个领域，在这个领域中，用户界面设计被用来鼓励边缘化人群使用“边缘”金融产品。文章最后对本文的研究进行了总结，并指出了未来的研究方向。

While economic geography is mainly concerned with regional and global dynamics, this paper examines the relevance of the micro-geographical perspective that has recently emerged to study the specificities of what happens within city-regions. This perspective aims to produce analysis closer to economic agents, with a particular focus on small-scale spatial units to provide a more nuanced understanding of economic dynamics at the neighborhood, street or building levels. We advocate embracing the potential of this line of research to advance economic geography, given that micro-geography can intersect different theoretical paradigms, methodological approaches and emerging themes.

虽然经济地理学主要关注区域和全球动态，但本文考察了最近出现的微观地理学视角的相关性，以研究城市区域内发生的事情的特殊性。这一视角旨在产生更接近经济主体的分析，特别关注小规模的空间单元，以提供对社区、街道或建筑层面的经济动态的更细致的理解。鉴于微观地理学可以交叉不同的理论范式、方法方法和新兴主题，我们主张接受这一研究方向的潜力，以推动经济地理学的发展。

Contradiction as Method - A Critical-Theoretical Approach to Ideational Economic Geography 矛盾即方法——思想经济地理学的批判理论研究

This paper seeks to advance the emerging field of ideational economic geography by employing Frankfurt School critical theory, particularly Adorno's negative dialectics, to move beyond the dichotomy between critical realist and constructivist approaches. Current debates position imaginaries either as 'real' causal forces (critical realism) or as socially constructed meanings (constructivism), creating an apparent choice that limits analytical possibilities for understanding how sustainability imaginaries both express genuine ecological needs and contain them within existing social relations. The framework developed in this paper reconceptualizes ideational elements as inherently contradictory mediations between materiality and the process of ideation, transcending this divide through dialectical analysis that reveals how contradictions are constitutive rather than merely disruptive. This paper further suggests methodological strategies that focus on ruptures and failures as privileged moments for revealing these contradictions and their transformative potential.

本文试图通过运用法兰克福学派的批判理论，特别是阿多诺的否定辩证法，来超越批判现实主义和建构主义方法之间的二分法，从而推动新兴的观念经济地理学领域。目前的争论将想象定位为“真实的”因果力量（批判现实主义）或社会建构意义（建构主义），这创造了一个明显的选择，限制了理解可持续性想象如何表达真正的生态需求并将其包含在现有社会关系中的分析可能性。本文开发的框架将概念要素重新定义为物质性和概念过程之间内在矛盾的中介，通过辩证分析超越了这一鸿沟，揭示了矛盾如何构成而不仅仅是破坏性的。本文进一步提出了方法论策略，将破裂和失败作为揭示这些矛盾及其变革潜力的特权时刻。

A GPN perspective on the adoption of blockchain technology in global supply chains 全球供应链采用区块链技术的GPN视角

Blockchain technology is lauded for its potential to enhance transparency, traceability, and ultimately lead to more resilient and sustainable supply chains. However, its implications for power dynamics, governance and spatial reconfigurations in global production networks (GPNs) remain underexplored. This paper examines the adoption of blockchain technology in global supply chains and reviews its associated benefits and barriers. The paper highlights three main arenas where applying key concepts of GPN theory can help us understand how digital technologies, such as blockchain, reshape the geography and organisation of production. First, focusing on the different dimensions of power could provide a nuanced exploration of blockchain’s impact on power relations between actors in GPNs. Second, the field would benefit from an analysis of the interplay between digital- and physical space acknowledging the human factor in narratives of digital transformation. Third, there is a need to evaluate blockchain’s role as a potential technology of globalisation, changing the nature of global production and trade. For GPN theory to remain relevant, it must integrate the effects of digital technologies on actor strategies, power relations, and uneven development within global production systems.

区块链技术因其提高透明度和可追溯性的潜力而受到称赞，并最终导致更具弹性和可持续的供应链。然而，其对全球生产网络（GPNs）的权力动态、治理和空间重构的影响仍未得到充分探讨。本文考察了区块链技术在全球供应链中的应用，并回顾了其相关的利益和障碍。本文强调了三个主要领域，在这些领域中，应用GPN理论的关键概念可以帮助我们理解数字技术（如区块链）如何重塑生产的地理和组织。首先，关注权力的不同维度，可以细致入微地探索b区块链对GPNs中行动者之间权力关系的影响。其次，该领域将受益于对数字空间和物理空间之间相互作用的分析，承认数字转型叙事中的人为因素。第三，有必要评估bb0作为全球化潜在技术的作用，它将改变全球生产和贸易的性质。为了使GPN理论保持相关性，它必须整合数字技术对行动者战略、权力关系和全球生产系统内不平衡发展的影响。

Bridging the methodological divide: Inspirations from semantic network analysis for (evolutionary) economic geography 弥合方法论鸿沟：来自语义网络分析对（进化）经济地理学的启示

Recent research in evolutionary economic geography addressing radical innovation and grand challenges has advocated for a shift in focus from single technologies and products toward interrelated configurations of technologies and institutions. This suggests moving beyond explaining innovation and industrial dynamics primarily by the existence of appropriate knowledge and capability stocks, to include institutional structures and the ability of actors to shape value-related dynamics. Despite an increasing suite of conceptual and empirical contributions to this extended agenda, its methodological underpinnings have not yet received sufficient attention. A particularly thorny issue is how to bridge quantitative assessments of related knowledge stocks with qualitative process reconstructions of regional development pathways. To bridge the methodological divide, we present a recent approach developed in transition studies – socio-technical configuration analysis and elaborate on how it may inform salient research problems in economic geography.

最近在演化经济地理学中针对激进创新和重大挑战的研究主张将重点从单一技术和产品转向技术和制度的相互关联配置。这表明，要超越主要通过适当的知识和能力储备的存在来解释创新和产业动态，要包括制度结构和行动者塑造价值相关动态的能力。尽管对这一扩大议程的概念和经验贡献越来越多，但其方法基础尚未得到足够的重视。一个特别棘手的问题是如何将相关知识存量的定量评估与区域发展路径的定性过程重建联系起来。为了弥合方法论上的分歧，我们提出了一种最近在转型研究中发展起来的方法——社会技术配置分析，并详细阐述了它如何为经济地理学中的突出研究问题提供信息。

This paper analyzes the bridging of digital-based crypto capital with one of the most long-standing and material parts of the economy, real property. Specifically, it uses two cases focused on US-based efforts to use blockchain to fractionalize the ownership and administration of land and housing. We frame this paper around the disconnect between rhetorics of frictionless capital and their dependence on the materiality of real property. Thus, rather than being exclusively a technology for transparency and investment (as proponents stress) blockchain engagements with the materiality of real estate embroiled within centuries long processes of dispossession, predation and exploitation. The two case studies are CityDAO, an online business/community focused on building the “crypto city of the future” holding two rural parcels of land in Wyoming and Colorado, and RealT, a fractional, tokenized real estate platform that invests in rental housing, using Section 8 vouchers as a means of ‘bridging’ global crypto-capital into the materiality of Detroit’s housing market.

本文分析了基于数字的加密资本与经济中历史最悠久、最重要的部分之一——房地产之间的桥梁。具体来说，它使用了两个案例，重点关注美国使用b区块链将土地和住房的所有权和管理分门别类的努力。我们围绕无摩擦资本的修辞与它们对不动产的物质性的依赖之间的脱节来构建本文。因此，区块链并不是像支持者所强调的那样，仅仅是一种透明和投资的技术，而是一种涉及房地产物质性的技术，它卷入了长达几个世纪的剥夺、掠夺和剥削过程。这两个案例研究是CityDAO，一个在线业务/社区，专注于建设“未来的加密城市”，在怀俄明州和科罗拉多州拥有两块农村土地，以及RealT，一个部分的，代币化的房地产平台，投资于租赁住房，使用第8节券作为“连接”全球加密资本进入底特律住房市场的手段。
