The Amendment was a major protectionist proposal that would have reversed the secular trend toward trade liberalization initiated in 1934. There are reasons for expecting that the decline of America's hegemony in the international economy, combined with endogenously-generated changes in the structure of the domestic economy, would alter historic regional cleavages respecting trade policy. The probit estimates indicate that new regional differences have emerged to influence voting behavior in the House on trade policy. The historic regional foundations of trade policy familiar since the early 19th century have been transformed: the North remains the most protectionist region, but the traditionally liberal South now approaches the North in protectionist sentiment, while the once protectionist West, and especially the Northwest, have become predominantly liberal. These effects persist when partisanship and congressional district characteristics are taken into account, and have important implications for the future of American politics and the international trading system.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101034,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography Quarterly","volume":"9 3","pages":"Pages 284-304"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0260-9827(90)90028-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78997643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Explanations of this by previous writers have claimed that entrepreneurial behavior by the local state is either economically determined, or stems from the initiatives of relatively autonomous political agents. In this paper it is contended that, in order to reassess these conflicting explanations, it is necessary to analyze how economic and political processes operating at different spatial scales interact to determine local policy formation and outcomes, and a conceptualization of local state action using this approach is developed. This is then applied to explain the evolution of downtown development policies in the central cities of American metropolitan areas. It is also argued that local context must be incorporated into the analysis in order to account for inter-urban variations in policy outcomes, and an abbreviated comparison of two central cities, San Francisco and Minneapolis, illustrates the importance of this.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101034,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography Quarterly","volume":"9 2","pages":"Pages 146-170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0260-9827(90)90016-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79530430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geopolitics is one of four security discourses (the others being sovietology, strategy and the realist approach in international relations) which American ‘security intellectuals’ have drawn on in constructing the ‘Soviet threat’, America's predominant ‘Other’ in the last four decades. The ‘Soviet threat’ is the rationale used in the US foreign policy of containment militarism designed ultimately to ensure US national security. Using a formulation of geopolitics in terms of discourse this paper widens the conventional understanding of geopolitics to show how geopolitical conceptions operate ideologically. Focusing on the practices of the discourses of security shows that a broader understanding of geopolitics in terms of discourse reveals a persistence of geopolitical thinking in US discussions of security. A final section briefly suggests how the concept of security can be reformulated and outlines the role of a critical geopolitics in revealing how geopolitical discourse operates.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101034,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography Quarterly","volume":"9 2","pages":"Pages 171-188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0260-9827(90)90017-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91043706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
