Abstract

This paper provides a systematic review on Western moral geography research. The review is started by applying CiteSpace software to conduct literature cocitation analysis and keyword copresentation analysis for literature searched in the Web of Science database. Analysis of the results reveals that care, ethics, morality, and responsibility are the main topics in the high centrality literature and high citation bursts literature; sociology, economics, and political science are integrated into research of moral geography, discussing issues of ‘care and responsibility at a distance’, ‘moral economy and moral consumption’, and ‘inequality and rights in local politics’. The review is followed by manual retrieval and snowball readings from the references of high centrality and high citation bursts literature. Manual retrieval and snowball readings implies that the classical theories proposed by Sack, an eminent scholar specializing on early moral geography, have not been highly cited for two reasons:1) his articles are highly abstract and obscure, which made it very hard to understand, and 2) he attempts to make universal moral criteria for any place, restraining the empirical studies to follow as they would be easily accused of leaving the "politically correct" track.
