Resumo
O artigo tem como principal objetivo realizar uma discussão teórica sobre o estado da arte da abordagem evolucionária no âmbito da Geografia Econômica, destacando seus pilares, principais conceitos, críticas e limitações. Também são abordadas as contribuições das demais vertentes da Geografia Econômica – Institucionalista, Relacional e Economia Política – que podem auxiliar na superação das lacunas existentes na GEE, culminando com a proposta de uma Geografia Econômica Evolucionária desenvolvimentista alicerçada no pluralismo engajado. A principal contribuição do estudo é propor um framework conceitual no âmbito da Geografia Econômica adequado à compreensão da evolução de lugares reais ao longo do tempo em perspectiva multiescalar.
