Abstract

As a key concept in geography, enclave is a product of spatial isolation and differentiation of politics, economy, and culture. While discussions on enclaves have been prevailing among western geographers and tend to be deepened and diversified, there is no consensus on the concept and classification of enclaves in China. Also, most of the existing literature is empirical research, only little consideration has been given to how enclaves evolve under diverse conditions on different scales. Combining with the traditional literature review and Citespace tools, this paper tries to put forward the development context and research hotspots of enclave research from the angle of concept evolution. The authors proclaim that the connotation of enclave in human geography has proceeded form overseas territory to economic enclave and enclave community, which can identify two branches. First, enclave has developed from a term in political and diplomatic fields to an approach in social, economic and cultural fields. Second, the understanding of enclave has transferred from state-centric to multi-scalar perspectives. According to their relations with home/host lands, enclaves can be divided into four categories:political enclaves, economic enclaves, enclave communities, and enclave states. The authors reckon the concept of enclave can not only generalize all kinds of geospatial heterogeneity phenomena but also become an analytical tool for interpreting geographical isolation and space-power connection. Finally, this paper gives an outlook of enclave study in the current socio-economic context and hopes that it can be useful to the later theoretical and empirical research.
