Jamie Peck is a Killam Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of British Columbia. He holds a PhD from the University of Manchester and is an institutional political economist specializing in economic geography, urban restructuring, labor regulation, and statecraft. His research examines how ostensibly global processes, such as market-oriented governance and neoliberalization, are reshaped at local sites through distanciated networks and grounded practices. Jamie's current work focuses on the geographical dimensions of ideation, spatial applications, and conjunctural analysis. He has published extensively on topics related to neoliberal governance and urban political economies, with several notable papers in respected journals that explore issues like guaranteed income in urban politics, public policy in metropolitan transformations, and the geopolitical economies of China's Greater Bay Area. His contributions to the field have been influential in understanding contemporary economic geographies and urban policies.
