本文认为，经济爱国主义是在新自由主义全球化时代管理开放边界与特定领土单位的政治压力之间关系的一种特定形式。它侧重于伦敦金融城的案例，并展示了在1997年至2007年期间，国家如何采取具体战略，支持金融城的国际地位，首先是在全球和欧盟规则范围内，其次是可信的说法，这种支持有利于整个英国社会。金融危机破坏了这种信誉。尽管伦敦金融城已经重新确立了其在英国经济中的中心地位，而且没有明显的替代方案，但鉴于伦敦金融城所遭受的强烈批评，对它的支持再也不能被视为一种经济爱国主义行为。
This contribution argues that economic patriotism constitutes a specific form of managing the relationship between open borders and the political pressures of specific territorial units in an era of neo-liberal globalization. It focuses on the case of the City of London and shows how, in the period from 1997 to 2007, the state pursued specific strategies that would support the international position of the City in ways which were firstly within global and EU rules and secondly gave credibility to the claim that this support was beneficial to the whole of British society. The financial crisis undermined this credibility. Although the City has re-established its centrality to the UK economy and there is no obvious alternative, support for it can no longer be justified as an act of economic patriotism given the strength of criticism it has endured.
