Union of economics with geography based on the concept of location: A historical perspective

Bu makale, Avrupa'da Rönesans döneminden günümüze değin geçen süreiçinde, ekonomistler ve coğrafya bilimcilerinin nihayet nasıl bir yol izleyip birarayagelerek ekonomik olayları mekân kavramı üzerinden coğrafi özellikleredayandırarak belirlemeye başladığını analiz etmektedir.Bu birleşmenin altında yatan gerçek, sosyal bilim dallarının aslında hiçbirzaman tek tek ve biribirlerinden bağımsız olarak ele alınamayacaklarıdır: Ekonomi, siyaset bilimi, siyasi ekonomi, antropoloji, sosyoloji, psikoloji ve sanat , esasencoğrafya ve tarih bilimlerinden ayrılamazlar. Ayrıca, fizik, kimya, biyoloji,astronomi, hatta matematik ve istatistik dahi bu büyük çerçevede yer almaktadırlar.Sonuçta bugün, sosyal bilimlerdeki bu sentez açısı dolayısıyla, Paul Krugman'ıizleyerek Yeni Ekonomik Coğrafya bilimi ortaya çıkmıştır.

İktisat ile coğrafya bilimlerinin mekan kavramı üzerine birleşmeleri: Tarihsel bir yaklaşım

This paper lays down the path from the period of the European Renaissanceuntil the present time of how economists and geographers finally came together intheir pursuit of explaining economic phenomenon taking into account geographicalfeatures based on the concept of location.Underlying this path is the fact that social sciences cannot be taken one byone and independently from each other: One cannot separate economics, politicalscience, political economy, anthropology, sociology, psychology and arts fromgeography and history. Moreover, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy as well asmathematics and statistics also interact with this big picture. It is due to thissynthesis aspect that today as a result, following Paul Krugman, the New EconomicGeography emerged as an hybrid field.
