Abstract

This paper examines Neil Smith’s theory via three keywords—geopolitical economy,empire, and neoliberalism. First, to comprehend the complex changes in thecontemporary world, Smith notes various couplings between geopolitics and geo-economicsand makes a meaningful contribution to the theorization of geopoliticaleconomy. Second, through historical-geographical analysis of the evolution of theU.S. Empire, he provides a critical insight into historical continuity and discontinuityof the U.S. Empire and critically discusses how the production of geographical knowledgehas served the Empire. Finally, Smith’s critical analysis of neoliberalism andglobal economic crisis offers an important perspective on prospects for anti-neoliberalpractices as well as neoliberalism as class project. Smith’s insights are particularlyvaluable to us who are facing the hegemonic shifts on the peninsula.
