A PERSPECTIVA INSTITUCIONAL E A GEOGRAFIA ECONÔMICA /// \\\ THE INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE IN ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY
Abstract
Este artigo apresenta um estudo preliminar da abordagem institucionalista sob um olhar da geografia econômica. No arcabouço teórico, destaca o pensamento de Veblen (1965) e Douglass North (1993) sobre a economia institucionalista, resgatando conceitos como: instituições, organizações, e especificamente, na nova geografia econômica, estão ideias de Martin (1996, 2000), no que tange aos conceitos de ambiente e arranjo institucional. Pauta-se no reconhecimento de que a perspectiva teórica adotada abre uma possibilidade de análise e de compreensão da dinâmica de longo prazo, das contradições e dos ajustes necessários a toda mudança de caráter estrutural. Conclui que é pertinente considerar a inclusão da abordagem institucionalista nos estudos geográficos como alternativa para o entendimento do território.

ABSTRACT
This article presents a preliminary study of the institutional approach through the lens of economic geography. In the theoretical framework, the line of thought of Veblen (1965) and Douglass North (1993) on institutional economics is highlighted, recovering concepts such as institutions and organizations. The ideas which are specifically highlighted are Martin’s (1996, 2000), being new economic geography, using the concepts of environment and institutional arrangement. These ideas are based on the recognition that the theoretical perspective which is adopted opens a possibility of analysis and understanding of long-term dynamics, contradictions and all necessary adjustments to structural change. Finally, it is deemed pertinent to consider the inclusion of the institutional approach in geographical studies as an alternative for understanding territory.
Key words: Institutional approach; Economic geography; Regional analysis; Spatial territory.
