Jamie Peck's work moves along the border between economic and urban geography research. The focus is on political economy , restructuring, regulation-theoretical approaches and governance . In particular, his writings on neoliberalization and on (global and regional) labor market geography are of interdisciplinary importance.

In the context of the global hype about creative cities ( creative class ) in the aftermath of Richard Florida's writings, Peck is considered one of the most profound content critics. Peck also conducts research on the connections between global suburbanization and capitalization processes.

Peck is currently doing research primarily on transfer and transformation processes in policy programs. Here he is doing exemplary research on the worldwide distribution of conditional cash transfer programs and on the policy adaptation of Creative City recommendations for action.
