Call for papers, AAG 2016, San Francisco, CA. March 29-April 2, 2016

“Trading city-regions”

We invite papers that draw attention to how globally oriented trade 
activities influence the economic, social and political development and 
dynamics of cities and urban regions. Located between perspectives which 
emphasize what cities “are” (that is, unique local assemblages), and 
perspectives which emphasize the position of individual cities in 
hierarchies of activity and connection, this session is inspired by 
Marshall (1890), Jacobs (1985), (Cronon 1991), Noponen et al (1993), 
Fujita and Mori (1996), Storper (1997), Jones (1998), Coe et al (2004) 
and others to focus on what people and organizations in cities “do” that 
propels  global trade from certain locations and not others.

What are the geographies of trading activities? What places, events, 
relationships, dependencies, agents, institutions and processes should 
be considered in order to understand these geographies? What kinds of 
cities and urban regions do they produce?

All cities encompass trading activities in a variety of places; from 
brokerages and banks, convention centres and airport lounges, to 
warehouses and ports. Trade activities include advanced  business 
services (trade finance and merchant banking, cargo and shipping related 
insurance and risk management as well as all legal aspects concerning 
the international carriage of goods, etc), supply chain management and 
logistics , as well as transportation, warehousing and other physical 
activities related to inter-regional movement of goods and people. 
Agglomerations of such trading places and activities constitute distinct 
trading city-regions which are found across global and national urban 
hierarchies, including, for example: gateway cities such as San 
Francisco, Chicago, Shanghai, Tianjin, Incheon or Rotterdam; hub-cities 
such as Hong Kong, Houston, Dubai, or Singapore; places that bundle 
financial services and/or the digital economy such as Luxembourg, 
London, Frankfurt or New York; and even cities that are seat of  
multi-lateral organizations such as Geneva, Lausanne or Washington.

In this session we seek perspectives from economic, urban, 
transportation, historical, social or cultural geographies, in order to 
decipher the trajectories, meanings and contradictions of cities and 
urban regions that specialize in all sorts of trade. We are interested 
in contemporary and historical perspectives, approaches which may range 
from the theoretical to the empirical, and that employ methods from case 
studies to quantitative analyses.

Paper topics might include (but are not limited to):
-    Variegated territorialities of particular forms of trade, from 
commodities and merchandise to services and ideas.
-    The politics and governance of trading city-regions.
-    Social dimensions of trading cities, including migration, 
consumption, culture, environmental justice and inequality.
-    The economies of trading city-regions, including employment, firm 
formation, and supply chain relations.
-    Strategic positioning, investment and ‘coupling’ by elites (and 
counter-elites) in trading cities.
-    Spillovers and related varieties of trade activity, for example, 
from transportation into logistics, and commodity trading into finance.
-    The evolution of the multinational trading firms and their skills 
and routines.
-    Goods movement and trading cities, including physical impacts, land 
use and infrastructure.
-    Financialization and risk in trading cities.
-    Information infrastructure, knowledge systems, and meaning in 
trading places.
-    Policy mobilities of trading city-regions, and the ‘trade’ in ideas;
-    The historical geography of trading cities, and systems of trading 
cities (e.g. the Hanseatic League, Asian Treaty port cities, etc.).
-    Typologies and systems of contemporary trading cities in developed 
and developing nations.
-    Similar/related and competing conceptions of trading city-regions, 
such as gateways, knowledge hubs, and entrepôt, global or world cities.

Please send us an abstract which we will slot into a session, by 1 
October 2015.

We look forward to hearing from you!
