He gradu ated from the University of Reading in 1979 with a Bachelor of Act in Italian studies, and stayed at Reading to complete his PhD in the Department of Geography. Amin then moved to Newcastle University, where he began as Research Fellow at the Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies, followed by becoming Lecturer and eventually Professor of Geography. In 2005 Amin moved to Ducham University and was the Founding Executive Director ofthe Insicute of Advanced Study. He took up his current position at Cambridge in 2011 Early in his eareet, Amin’ foeus was economic yeography, and in particular regional development and globalization in Europe. His work explored the emergence of new industrial complexes within the context of the extended reach of global corporate networks. In a series of edited books incliding Technological Change, Industrial Restructuring and Regional Development (with John Goddard, 1986), Towards a New Europe? Structural Change in the European Economy (1991), Post-Fordism: A Reader (1995), Globalization, Institutions, and Regional Development in Europe (with Nigel Thrift, 1995), Amin played a key role in shaping debates around the emergence of post-Fordist forms of industrial organization. His work examined the question of ‘whether Europe's industrial landscape was being remade as sets of dynamic post- Fordist regional industrial clusters, or was simply reorganized by a new international, inter-regional, division of labor centering on the corporate networks of global firms, ‘These concems about how different forms of economic organizations arc held together ‘over space, and across administrative boundaries, led Amin to examine in detail the dynamics of the spatial development of the knowledge economy. Here his work was distinctive for insisting upon the enduring importance of tangible goods, pessonal net. works and tacit knowledge within chis economy, a position that ran counter to conventional wisdom that tended to imagine knowledge as weightless and placelest (Amin et al, 2000). Working with the economist Patrick Cohendet, Amin pulled together these key arguments in Architectures of Knowledge (200). Over time Amin’s writing became more urban focused, Building on his eater foci 0 regional knowledge networks, Amin started exploring how cities are entangled with 2 host of distant connections. In doing so, he developed novel ways of thinking about slobalization and proximity. He also worked to find mote supple, intellectually imag inaeive ways of thinking about the dynamics of ethnic, multicultural and community cohesion. Amin was convinced that the social sciences needed to invent a new reper {ore of concepts to make sense of how cities functioned, given the inadequacy of established ways ~ whether mainstream or otherwise ~ of thinking about cities in the context of contemporary patterns of globalization and the rise of novel informational technologies. This thinking led to Cities: Reimagining the Urban (2002), co-authored with Nigel Thrift, which set out to articulate a new ontology of the city as the ised ible product of mixture’ (2002: 3). Or put another way, urbanization should be tunderstood as flows and interactions that constantly generate new spatial formations A key feature of Amin’ theoretical style is his willingness to draw on insights feom a plurality of social and theoretical traditions; he takes as much from American prag. ratist philosophy and post-humanism as he does from
