主观-客观或混乱-有序。14这种现成的尺度特征非常适合批判现实主义的追随者，因为它也具有一套按层次组织的本体论构建块(结构、机制和事件；见Sayer 1992,141,237)。现实主义的二元论和标量等级制度经常交织在一起，尽管塞耶提出了警告(1991年；也是考克斯和迈尔1989年)。15有一些受欢迎的和学术的作者对自由流动的概念着迷。从下面的内容中可以清楚地看出，我们与两者都保持着强烈的距离，包括托马斯·弗里德曼，他以种族为中心的著作《世界是平的》(The World is Flat，2005)只是最新的一本。为了避免我们被误解，让我们毫不含糊地声明：世界并不是平的。16这与尼尔·史密斯(1996)对Castells‘流动空间’的训诫不谋而合，如前所述。斯密强调固定性和流动性都是资本主义的构成要素。亦见伍德沃德
subjective–objective or chaotic–orderly. 14 This ready-made character of scale is well suited for adherents of critical realism, since it too sports a hierarchically organized set of ontological building blocks (of structures, mechanisms and events; see Sayer 1992, 141, 237). Realism’s dualisms and scalar hierarchies often intertwine, again notwithstanding Sayer’s cautionary remarks (1991; also Cox and Mair 1989). 15 There are a number of popular and academic authors smitten with the notion of unfettered flows. As should be clear from what follows, we strongly distance ourselves from both, including Thomas Friedman, whose ethnocentric book The World is Flat (2005) is but the latest. Lest we be misinterpreted, let us state unequivocally: The world is not flat. 16 This resonates with Neil Smith’s (1996) admonishment of Castells’s ‘spaces of flows’, as discussed earlier. Smith stresses both fixity and fluidity as constitutive elements of capitalism. Also see Woodward
