This commentary draws on the Spanish case to shed light on the three dimensions of de-centering in economic geography: epistemological, geographical, and idiomatic. Although the geography of contributors to the most influential Companions and Handbooks of economic geography shows hints of a timid de-centering from the UK and the USA to other English-speaking or English-fluent countries in America, Asia, Oceania, and Europe, Spain still remains outside this language-led process. However, reasons other than language must be taken into account for a proper understanding of this situation. Indeed, a small but engaged network of economic geographers has settled in Spain since the late 1980s. These scholars have developed a research agenda in close dialogue with some of the main concerns of Anglo-American economic geography. Such a development has followed a path of its own, contingent to the Spanish academic environment and to some specific traits of that network: a sustained reliance on coordinated research projects with several universities involved (the how); a shared definition of the core research topics (the what); and a process of internationalisation that does not equate to getting our papers published in English-speaking outlets (the where).

去中心化实践：西班牙经济地理学中的协调治理

这篇评论利用西班牙的案例来阐明经济地理学中去中心化的三个维度：认识论、地理和惯用语。尽管最有影响力的Companions和Handbooks贡献者的地理位置经济地理学的研究表明，从英国和美国向美洲、亚洲、大洋洲和欧洲的其他讲英语或英语流利的国家转移，西班牙仍然处于这种以语言为主导的过程之外。但是，为了正确理解这种情况，必须考虑语言以外的原因。事实上，自 1980 年代后期以来，一个规模虽小但参与度高的经济地理学家网络已在西班牙定居。这些学者与英美经济地理学的一些主要关注点密切对话，制定了研究议程。这种发展遵循自己的道路，取决于西班牙的学术环境和该网络的某些特定特征：持续依赖与几所大学参与的协调研究项目（如何); 核心研究主题（什么）的共同定义；以及一个国际化的过程，这并不等同于让我们的论文在英语媒体（the where）上发表。
