ABSTRACT This study questions if abstract regional planning strategies are fit to respond to changing societal and political conditions. We compare regional planning strategy making in North West England. Findings suggest that abstract strategies are more effective in building than managing transformative discourses. Results show that: (I) transformative discourses need to be built around manageable regional socio-spatial and spatial-economic disparities; (II) policy entrepreneurs should be targeted with equal consideration for power and counterpower; and (III) the regional planning authority should have access to specific funding schemes. It is our ultimate aim to re-energize strategic regional planning debates in England and beyond.

ABSTRACT This paper examines spatial practices in the everyday life of the villagers in a South Korean border village. Focusing on the Yugokri Unification Village in Cheorwon, the paper analyses the residents’ spatial actions as a lens to study how the villagers cope with the volatile border. It reveals highly intricate and discrete ways the residents use the space of the frontier village as a platform, despite high levels of control imposed by the state, for their struggles against the authoritarian vision by developing, augmenting and enhancing their spaces around them in their everyday life.

sequent conflict. Through an intermingling of historical and contextual positioning, specific details of individual artworks, and the responses of institutions that provide space for their public display, Ingram carefully illustrates the expansiveness of his reconceptualized geopolitical event, showing us the importance of rethinking the temporal and spatial boundaries of warfare, and the significance of artworks as not simply responses to these specific events but as active elements within them.

ABSTRACT In Sweden, ‘safety walks’ are a well-established planning practice for improving safety. They involve citizens and local authorities evaluating public spaces in terms of safety. Building on observations, interviews and policy materials, this paper examines safety walks from a governmentality perspective. Our analysis shows that, through the governing techniques employed in the walks, safety problems are rendered technical, auditable and governable, while becoming disconnected from the social and political. Furthermore, the participatory rationale of the walks serves to produce self-governing communities, who are responsible for managing their own safety, while risking the reinforcement of boundaries of inclusion and exclusion within the imagined ‘safe community’.

ABSTRACT Sub-national statecraft and scalecraft is touted as consequential antidote to the crisis of uneven development and democratic deficit. Interrogating this supposition with reference to city-regionalization in Finland, this paper explores how a neoliberal imaginary of city-regions has been institutionalized through entanglement of discursive practices of contractual planning and materiality of tramway construction in Tampere. We argue that Finland’s ‘city regionalism’ is best understood in terms of rescaling of power from local municipalities to upper tiers of governance, lubricating of entrepreneurial development projects, and shrinking of democratic spaces of political contestations. We conclude by calling for geographically sensitive theorisations of city-regionalization.

Missourri, as a form of resistance to ‘logistical capitalism’. Not only did this act in combination with all of the recent murders of African Americans by police in the US galvanize the Black Lives Matter movement, it also underscores the extent to which ‘racial ordering has become integral to forms of production that are increasingly inseparable from the making of social relations and forms of life’ and thus they work to blur the difference between the structural and the incidental (p. 174). Furthermore, understanding contemporary workers’ struggles that unsettle old political forms and well-established working-class politics requires a reconsideration of the relationship between living labour and social cooperation. Workers and other subordinated populations are generating creative and collective ways to resist and survive, but usually not in ways that enable them to escape predatory capitalism or repressive states. In their consideration of Indigenous struggles against extractivism, the authors use the term ‘boundary struggles’, which underscores not only the different identity axes along which political struggles against extractivism unfold, but also the proliferation of meanings that emerge out of such struggles. Drawing on the TIPNIS case in Bolivia, they emphasize how struggles against extractivism are always about much more than opposition to the resource industries themselves and produce quite complex political subjectivities. The book concludes with some cautious optimism. It asks what kind of politics we need to enact to confront the operations of capital in a conjuncture in which neoliberalism has becomemore punitive and repressive, but inwhich socialmovements have becomemore autonomous and self-organizing. While the state will continue to be an important actor, the authors note that ‘a politics of radical transformation cannot be centeredon the state’butmust insteadbe forged both in the spaces of everyday life and in transnational spaces beyond the nation-state. Political change will emerge from what they call ‘dual power’, a politics that involves the contestation of state-capital arrangements of powers along with political actions outside and beyond the state. We need to use the state while establishing a collective power that exceeds it. While its theoretical eclecticism and geographical promiscuity make the book challenging to read, it also means that in a way that it offers something for everyone. I found myself moving from theoretical debates and illustrative case studies with which I was very familiar to others that were completely new to me. I’m sure that many readers will read the book in the same way, and the way these different debates have been brought into dialogue is a key strength of the book.
