摘　　要：伴随着国际经济组织形式的多样化和社会科学理论的多元化,近20多年来西方经济地理学出现了多种理论转向,为解释新的经济活动空间现象提供了多维视角。其中,关系转向和演化转向的研究近来显得格外活跃,都试图建立自己的理论框架,并形成了关系经济地理学和演化经济地理学两种理论范式。两种范式在一些理论假设上有很多相似之处,但对二者的比较研究却十分少见。为了更加透彻地了解两种范式的理论内涵,在对两种理论范式的产生背景、主要观点和核心概念介绍的基础上,从理论假设、核心问题、核心概念和理论构建等方面对两种范式进行了对比,进而分析了西方经济地理的走向及对中国经济地理发展的启示。Abstract： For over 20 years, many kinds of theory paradigms, such as those from the Western economic geogra- phy, have offered multi-dimensional angles of views for explaining the phenomena of new economic activity space. Among them, the research on relational paradigm and evolutionary paradigm is especially active. Both re- lational paradigm and evolutionary paradigm try to establish their own theoretical frames. There are lots of simi- larities between them in some theoretical supposition. However, there have been relatively few comparative stud- ies between them. Relational paradigm and evolutionary paradigm originated in the mid- and late 1990s, they have similar core assumptions against neoclassical paradigm, and both are concerned about the process of corpo- rate behavior and corporate relations, focusing on formal and informal institutions of economic behavior. Two oaradi^ms of economic ~eo^raohv have subtle differenee,~ in axnlainlno ~nrn~ cW ~h,~; ; ~sumptions about the decision-making of firms, the spatial evolution of sectors, and the convergence or diver- gence of spatial systems. But on the whole, they are complementary to each other in advancing the interpretation of the issues. In addition, one method can be integrated with another for there are mutual influences and mutual tolerance in the between the two paradigms in the process of theory building. Of course, there are mutual criti- cisms between the two of them, but it is such differrences in arguments that have promoted the western theory of the rapid development of economic geography. Finally, with the combination of domestic development of eco- nomic geography theory, the paper puts forward two suggestions. One is that we should have in-depth under- standing of various theoretical contents of western geography and enhance the construction of domestic econom- ic theory. The other is that we can integrate multiple theoretical paradigms of western economic geography for solving practical problems in domestic economic development.
