Career
editHer 2006 book Beyond the Regulation Approach. Putting Capitalist Economies in their Place (co-authored with Bob Jessop) was awarded the Gunnar Myrdal Prize awarded given by the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy. Geografiska Annaler called the book a good introduction to the theory of Regulation Approach.[2] Sum's contributions to the book were considered "central in pushing its boundaries to the emerging project of cultural political economy" by Ray Hudson in Economic Geography.[3]
She also was awarded a British Academy BARDA Award in 2008 for her work with Jessop on Changing Cultures of Competitiveness: A Cultural Political Economy Approach.[4] Her work has appeared in several academic journals like Competition & Change,[5] Urban Studies,[6] New Political Economy,[7] Critical Policy Studies,[8] Critical Asian Studies,[9] Economy and Society,[10] and Capital & Class,[11] among others.
