    Collective trauma in Indigenous and Black territories on Colombia's Pacific coast: a framework and collaborative approach to researching violence

    Marcela Velasco
    405-427页
    查看更多>>摘要：Using collaborative research methods with local organisations, this study analyses collective trauma in Colombia's Pacific coast. It examines ethnoterritorial groups, or collectivities whose identities and political organising reflect a distinct territorial consciousness characterised by intercultural, environmental and socio-economic relationships to land. 'Peer interviewers' adapted research instruments and ethics to their communities, highlighting oral testimonies and the collective construction of knowledge. They connected emotionally and intellectually with their people revealing key information about harmful events undermining the life-worlds of their communities. Building on this work, the article breaks the trauma process into different phases starting with traumatogenic events that cause communal distress and produce a social and signification crisis. It claims that territories represent a form of knowledge and produce feedback effects in the trauma process that help people connect emotionally and strategically with place. The article concludes that harmful events are not the same as collective trauma. Collective trauma is constructed in a process of signification that uncovers and interprets a negative collective impact and delimits the group of sufferers.

    The production of territories seen from a materialist perspective: milieus in the politics of territorialization

    428-447页
    查看更多>>摘要：How are territories produced? We conduct an analysis at the micro level of the reciprocal adjustments among actors in a ‘new valley’ that emerged in north-west France after the removal of two dams. By distancing ourselves from approaches that focus exclusively on the socio-political actors of territorialisation, we show that territories are generated through a site-specific process prompted by the affordances of milieus. From the field data collected through interviews, we demonstrate that the materiality of the milieus plays an important role in the politics by which territories are demarcated and collective entities defined, some of whom are included and others, excluded. Discussion shows that territorialization is politics rooted in the materiality of milieus.

    The chronopolitics of climate change adaptation: land reclamation in Tuvalu

    Liam Saddington
    448-467页
    查看更多>>摘要：Discourses of urgency have dominated adaptation responses to climate change, necessitating fast and decisive action. These discourses are particularly apparent in low-lying island states due to rising sea levels. Tuvalu, an atoll state in the South Pacific, has engaged in land reclamation projects as a means of adaptation. Focusing on these projects, I explore how chronopolitics can help tease apart the complex spatialities and temporalities which underpin adaptation. Chronopolitics describes the relationship between the politics of individuals and groups and their perspective on time, thus it can help to unpack how time perceptions shape adaptation decision-making processes. Drawing on fieldwork in the South Pacific and COP24 in Poland, I contend that adaptation serves as a performative process that supports alternative climate futures. Within this paper, I use critical geopolitics to show how these futures are suffused with power relations, at domestic, international and financial levels. Moreover, through an examination of the 2019 Pacific Island Forum, I argue that land reclamation serves as a visible, material resource to enrol in performative forms of diplomacy. Subsequently, I show how it is imperative that geographers, and social scientists more broadly, are attentive to the temporality and spatiality of adaptation to understand its political potential.

    From genplan to master plan: the changing urban planning paradigm in Russia

    Sofia BorushkinaAnton Gorodnichev
    468-487页
    查看更多>>摘要：This paper discusses the recent introduction of master plans in the Russian system of urban planning which signals the emergence of a new urban planning paradigm. An ongoing paradigm shift is traced through the evolution of three major planning instruments: the socialist genplan, the post-socialist genplan and the contemporary masterplan. The results show that the inefficiencies of post-socialist urban planning were due to the deliberate actions of elites, whose rent-seeking goals required the possibility of direct intervention, more centralised decision-making and direct translation of government priorities into the spatial development of cities. The post-socialist genplan fails to address changing policy goals, while the spectacular and non-binding master plan better suits the authoritarian model of governance in Russia.

    The moral economy of localism in England: neighbourhood planning as neoliberal ‘apprentice piece’

    Mark DobsonGavin Parker
    488-504页
    查看更多>>摘要：The design, operation and modifications to neighbourhood planning are viewed here as a quintessential neoliberal project. This paper argues that the political policy construction and modification of neighbourhood planning in England is a quintessentially neoliberal project. It discusses the moral economy of the localism agenda where it is argued that the criticisms levelled at neighbourhood planning during its first few years have proven to be accurate and, over a decade since the policy was introduced in 2010, evidence of its failings has mounted. Yet, despite this, the UK government continues not only to pursue the policy and extol its virtues to local communities, but also actively require its success as an ‘apprentice piece’ of neoliberal policymaking.

    Building Chinese city-regions under state entrepreneurialism

    Yi LiWen ChenFulong Wu
    505-522页
    查看更多>>摘要：The past decade has witnessed a variety of city-regional projects across the world. However, the geopolitical motivation or regional coalition alone cannot fully explain the actual mechanism of city-regionalism in the Chinese context. Drawing on the governance framework of state entrepreneurialism, this article distinguishes between the processes of centrally orchestrated regional imaginary and regional cooperation through multi-scalar alliances in the making of Chinese city-regions. By tracing the latest national strategy of the Yangtze River Delta regional integration and three different cases with concrete practices, this paper suggests that the recent rise of city-regionalism reflects the dynamic development of state entrepreneurialism beyond the urban scale.

    The impact of Chinese history on perceptions of the Law of the Sea in the South China Sea

    Zenel GarciaChristine Bianco
    523-543页
    查看更多>>摘要：The South China Sea (SCS) disputes reveal the centrality of maritime spaces for the political, economic and social life of East and Southeast Asia. It also exposes the tension between states’ actions and the currently accepted interpretation of the Law of the Sea (LoS). Focusing on China, we explore this tension by tracing historic Chinese understandings of maritime space and what constitutes ‘China’ as well as how the ‘Century of National Humiliation’ and crises in the early 20th century interacted with this history to turn the SCS into an important space in the Chinese geobody. Additionally, we assess how China’s contested entry into a Western-led system of International Law that was already well on its way to modern form influenced the way China came to understand maritime spaces within the international legal system.

    National standards or territorial autonomy? Public opinion and the politics of fiscal federalism for healthcare in Canada

    Sophie BorweinOlivier JacquesDaniel BelandAndre Lecours...
    544-564页
    查看更多>>摘要：Focusing on public opinion, this paper studies the politics of fiscal federalism by analysing support for the level and conditionality of intergovernmental transfers for healthcare. Leveraging a representative survey of the Canadian population conducted in 2022, we show that preferences for fiscal federalism reflect territorial identity and ideology. Left-wing respondents are more likely than right-wing ones to prefer higher, conditional transfers. However, Canadians with a predominant provincial identity prefer more decentralisation and therefore unconditional transfers, regardless of their ideology. Hence, the politics of fiscal federalism cannot be strictly understood as a reflection of a left-right cleavage; identity also matters.

    Subcontracted capitalism and the polemical verification of rights: a Rancierian interpretation of the politics of transnational private governance in Nike's global production network

    Jeroen Merk
    565-583页
    查看更多>>摘要：While some scholars dismiss transnational private governance instruments, such as codes of conduct, social auditing and monitoring initiatives, as an instrument of corporate power, propaganda and control, others provide a positive assessment. This paper criticises both approaches by applying concepts developed by the French philosopher Jacques Ranciere. Against the background of worker-driven discontent in the Nike supply chain, the paper argues why a Rancierian reading may offer an alternative way of conceptualising the politics of transnational private governance, one that provides a more promising way to 'ground' it in both conceptual and empirical terms.
