ABSTRACT In this article, I record some thoughts on Ronan Paddison’s accomplishments as an intellectual leader-scholar-citizen who made substantive and consequential contributions to the advancement of the systematic branch of Political Geography. I first consider that portion of Ronan’s body of published research which tackles political geographical themes, commenting in particular upon his scholarship on state power, before exploring in greater detail the meaning and implications of his role as founder and Editor in Chief of the journal Space and Polity. Against the backdrop of the neoliberalising academy, Ronan Paddison’s service to Political Geography serves as a lighthouse for those who survive him: it gestures to the kinds of academic subjectivities which enable privilege to be used wisely and reminds us of the indispensable work the protean scholar performs so that academic communities might prosper.

ABSTRACT This short commemoration piece highlights dimensions of scientific publishing that the author considers relevant in all publication processes, particularly from the perspective of the science journal editor. Specifically, it shares experiences from working with Ronan Paddison for over ten years, while he was the editor-in-chief of Space and Polity.

ABSTRACT This is a composite paper bringing together six personal reflections on being supervised as doctoral students by Ronan Paddison. It contributes insightful and poignant voices of experience to a special issue commemorating the academic contributions – here with wider implications beyond the immediately ‘academic’ – of Ronan Paddison (1945–2019), the founder and for many years Editor-in-Chief of this journal, Space and Polity. The six sets of reflections have been authored independently of one another, but their cumulative effect is to demonstrate the depth of ‘hidden’ academic (and related) contribution made by Ronan to nurturing early career academics formally (through the doctoral supervision process) and more informally (in numerous ways and sometimes continuing well beyond the submission and award of a thesis).

ABSTRACT Research from the 1980s by Ronan Paddison, Allan Findlay and colleagues on ‘the post-colonial city' and ‘the Arab city' is examined. Distinguishing between ‘post-colonial' (as periodization) and ‘postcolonial' (as critique), the paper traces how elements of the latter permeated what Paddison and colleagues claimed about the former. A sensitivity to urban ‘models', histories and geographies beyond the Global North was evident, anticipating subsequent postcolonial moves to engage fully with the possibilities of multiple ‘other' urban trajectories, lives, plans and capacities for change. It is also suggested that, inspired by Janet Abu-Lughod, Paddison and colleagues were working towards a postcolonial ‘comparative urbanism'.

ABSTRACT This paper offers an engagement with The Fragmented State, published in 1983 and representing Ronan Paddison’s most significant book-length contribution. The paper demonstrates how certain claims prosecuted by Paddison – especially relating to central local state relations and a splintering of metropolitan governance – continue to hold a relevance for understanding ‘real world’ transitions in the institutional and territorial forms assumed by Western states since 1983. The Fragmented State is thereby revealed to be not merely an impressive outcrop of past intellectual labour on space and polity, but remains a fresh provocation for all who take seriously the present challenges of state (re)formation.

ABSTRACT This article traces Professor Ronan Paddison’s academic career, mostly at the University of Glasgow. The first part describes Ronan’s contribution to learning and teaching and demonstrates the breadth of teaching he undertook, both in the classroom and in the field. The second part considers Ronan’s leadership activities over his 38 years in the department, and not least his contribution to the improvement in the research performance of the department between the first Research Selectivity programme in 1986 and the 2014 Research Excellence Framework.

ABSTRACT As the academic field of study into public art, particularly within regeneration contexts, was emerging, Ronan Paddison brought his interests in quality of life, culture-led regeneration, community and public spaces, and the broader processes of urban change to the discipline. This paper briefly outlines how these conversations developed and can be seen reflected in current thinking around the role of art, particularly in urban regeneration.

ABSTRACT This paper reviews the work of the Glasgow Quality of Life Group, a limited life project (1986–1990) within the Applied Population Research Unit of the then Department of Geography and Topographic Science at the University of Glasgow. It explores the contribution of Ronan Paddison, and the wider innovations and impact of the group’s work. It argues that these innovations were methodological, strategic, and challenged the prevailing wisdom of the day that understood GB to riven by a simple north-south divide, in which the ‘north’ was perceived to be the poorer partner in every way. Although of a time and place, the work of the GQLG remains pertinent to contemporary challenges and concerns.

ABSTRACT The article analyses the role of border in theories and policies of Latin American regionalism. It shows that neither the explanatory ‘waves’ of regionalism in studies of International Relations nor Latin American regional integration policies have addressed borders seriously. Accordingly, it argues for a view of border regions as key political and epistemological places for understanding spatial relations between state, region, and globalization. Though some academic and political initiatives have started to unpack the Cartesian reading of border in Latin American regionalism, the article argues that further steps can be taken by treating borders (peripheries) as epistemological centres.

ABSTRACT This provocation unbounds ‘state of exception’ to account for its sustainability and its role in daily life. I argue that sustaining a ‘state of exception’ requires a governmentality to govern and render the exceptional ‘normal’ over time, pointing to the mutual constitution of the two modes of governance. The omnipresent condition of possible shifts between sovereignty and governmentality relocates precarity from a statically defined objectified circumstance to the active slippage between these two fields of power. Yet whereas a ‘state of exception’ can become normalized, subjectivity cannot because the configuration of individuals’ multiple subjectivities differs relative to their lived experiences.
