While recent studies enhanced our understanding of when autocratic regimes engage in pro-government mobilization, we still know little about where exactly governments rally their supporters. This study addresses the spatial pattern of pro-government mobilization, focusing on the daily incidence and geographical distribution of pro-war rallies in Russia from February to April 2022. Building on existing research, we conceptualize pro-government mobilization as a strategic decision by autocracies, serving as a signal to citizens and dissidents while incurring costs. We extend this framework to include a spatial dimension, arguing that pro-government mobilization serves as a visual signal on the ground, strategically initiated in locations where governments want to quell unrest. Likewise, due to mobilization costs and the potential risk of backlash, pro-regime rallies are expected to be more prevalent in larger cities and in areas where security forces possess a higher capacity for swift reaction. Leveraging data at the day-municipality level, we identify the locations for mobilizing regime support. Cox models reveal that locations with a history of anti-war protest have a higher risk of subsequently hosting pro-war rallies. This effect is particularly pronounced in smaller locations. Moreover, larger cities and locations with the military stationed nearby exhibit a higher chance for pro-war rallies. These findings offer new insights into a regime’s mobilization strategy as a tool of authoritarian governance during contentious periods.

虽然最近的研究增强了我们对专制政权何时参与亲政府动员的理解，但我们仍然对政府究竟在何处召集支持者知之甚少。本研究探讨了亲政府动员的空间格局，重点研究了2022年2月至4月期间俄罗斯亲战争集会的日常发生率和地理分布。在现有研究的基础上，我们将亲政府动员概念化为独裁政权的战略决策，在产生成本的同时向公民和持不同政见者发出信号。我们将这一框架扩展到空间维度，认为亲政府动员是一种地面上的视觉信号，在政府想要平息动乱的地方战略性地发起。同样，由于动员成本和潜在的反弹风险，支持政权的集会预计将在较大的城市和安全部队拥有更高快速反应能力的地区更为普遍。利用日市一级的数据，我们确定了调动政府支持的地点。考克斯模型显示，有反战抗议历史的地点随后举办反战集会的风险更高。这种影响在较小的地区尤为明显。而且，在有军队驻扎的大城市和地区，举行反战集会的可能性也越大。这些发现为在有争议的时期，一个政权的动员策略作为专制统治的工具提供了新的见解。

This article sheds new light on the historical roots of contemporary migration politics by introducing the notion of the colonial migration state. Bringing together research on colonial population politics and the political science literature on the ‘migration state,’ we compare modes of migration management in three distinct cases of colonialism – settler colonialism in Algeria, protectorate colonialism in Egypt, and corporate colonialism in Saudi Arabia. We show that migration management in these three colonial spaces operated according to similar hierarchically-structured logics of economic extraction and legal-political differentiation. At the same time, these produced different local migration regimes based on variations in modalities of colonial rule, imperial economic interests, and pre-existing local institutions. Through a careful empirical exploration of migration and mobility practices in colonial peripheries, we contribute both to the global history of colonialism and empires, and to more recent work that rethinks the ‘migration state’ concept and its application to contexts across the Global South. We draw attention to the relationship between historical and contemporary forms of hierarchically structured regimes of mobility management, including the enduring importance of racial and religious categories as significant markers of differentiation in global migration, and suggest ways in which contemporary mobility regimes intersect with larger structures of economic extraction and socio-legal differentiation.

本文通过引入殖民移民国家的概念，对当代移民政治的历史根源进行了新的阐释。结合对殖民地人口政治的研究和关于“移民国家”的政治学文献，我们比较了三种不同殖民主义案例中的移民管理模式——阿尔及利亚的定居者殖民主义、埃及的保护国殖民主义和沙特阿拉伯的企业殖民主义。我们发现，在这三个殖民空间中，移民管理按照类似的经济榨取和法律-政治分化的等级结构逻辑运作。与此同时，基于不同的殖民统治模式、帝国经济利益和已有的地方制度，这些因素产生了不同的地方移民制度。通过对殖民边缘地区移民和流动实践的仔细实证探索，我们为殖民主义和帝国的全球历史做出了贡献，并为最近重新思考“移民国家”概念及其在全球南方背景下的应用做出了贡献。我们提请注意流动管理的等级结构制度的历史和当代形式之间的关系，包括种族和宗教类别作为全球移民分化的重要标志的持久重要性，并提出当代流动制度与经济提取和社会法律分化的更大结构相交的方式。

Contested mining, state selectivities, and the reform of the mining law in Mexico 有争议的采矿，国家选择，以及墨西哥采矿法的改革

Research on extractivism has dealt with state policy struggles and the role of progressive governments in Latin America since the 2000s, with particular attention on the integration of formerly marginalized or opposing interests into government strategies and policies. Building on materialist state theory, we argue that a closer focus on selectivities of the state can better explain both the shifts towards an integration of formerly excluded demands and continuities in state selectivities favoring established accumulation strategies. We illustrate our argument through an analysis of the reform to Mexico's mining law. Backed by large sectors of society, representatives of the leftist government partly incorporated longstanding critique of large-scale mining into new or revised regulations. We view this reform as a magnifying glass that helps us examine changing power relations, showing how demands from actors that previously had little access to the state arena have been negotiated and how this shifted state selectivities in favor of anti-mining claims. By examining changes in Mexico's mining legislation, our study adds to the growing body of scholarship that analyzes the role of the state and left-wing governments in contested resource extraction from a historical-materialist perspective. Our contribution is both empirical and theoretical. Empirically, it examines the changing role of the state in extractivism within a country and geopolitical setting different from those studied in research on neo-extractivism in the 2000s. On the theoretical level, our analysis of a law and its reform uncovers power relations and struggles related to mining, as well as existing and shifting state selectivities. Our analysis thus informs theory-led empirical research on similar struggles overstate involvement and regulation in other Latin American countries, particularly in the context of changing geopolitics and increasing demand for minerals and metals.

自2000年代以来，对采掘主义的研究涉及拉丁美洲国家政策斗争和进步政府的作用，特别关注将以前被边缘化或反对的利益纳入政府战略和政策。在唯物主义国家理论的基础上，我们认为，更密切地关注国家的选择性，可以更好地解释向以前被排除的需求的整合转变，以及有利于既定积累战略的国家选择性的连续性。我们通过对墨西哥矿业法改革的分析来说明我们的论点。在社会各大部门的支持下，左翼政府的代表部分地将长期以来对大规模采矿的批评纳入了新的或修订的法规中。我们将这一改革视为一面放大镜，帮助我们审视不断变化的权力关系，展示了以前几乎无法进入国家舞台的行动者的要求是如何被谈判的，以及这如何改变了国家的选择，从而有利于反采矿主张。通过考察墨西哥矿业立法的变化，我们的研究增加了越来越多的学者从历史唯物主义的角度分析国家和左翼政府在有争议的资源开采中的作用。我们的贡献是实证的和理论的。从经验上看，它考察了国家在一个国家的采掘主义和地缘政治环境中的角色变化，这与2000年代新采掘主义的研究不同。在理论层面上，我们对法律及其改革的分析揭示了与采矿相关的权力关系和斗争，以及现有的和正在变化的国家选择。因此，我们的分析为理论主导的关于类似斗争的实证研究提供了依据，这些研究夸大了其他拉丁美洲国家的参与和监管，特别是在地缘政治不断变化和对矿产和金属需求不断增加的背景下。

This article interrogates the structural processes and neocolonial agendas that perpetuate informality in Tai O village, Hong Kong which is famous for its traditional fishing culture and stilt houses. Unlike land-dwellers in Hong Kong's peri-urban villages, stilt house inhabitants suffer tenure insecurity and inconsistent regulations, even as their lifeways are promoted as cultural heritage. To gain insight into this paradox, we reviewed archival materials and conducted ethnographic field research into twenty stilt household's lived experiences. Literature and archival review uncovered historical land tenure reforms in Hong Kong which created categories of informality, which were manipulated to strategic ends. Colonial tenure reforms followed a Chinese lineage village model, supposedly to formalize customary tenure structures. Colonizing governments did not develop consistent water occupation policies, so tenure reform reinforced Chinese social structures which marginalized boat people. Water-dwelling Hong Kongese faced their own contingencies of colonial policy making that privileged or punished illegal land usage unevenly. In Tai O, transitional housing patterns over water were eventually given their own, ambiguous, pseudo-landed tenure category. In light of boat people's distinct history living in informality, this in-depth case study reveals and contextualizes the unique lifeways of boat people and their customary housing and spatial practices.

本文探讨了香港大澳村的结构过程和新殖民主义议程，这些过程和新殖民主义议程使香港的非正式性得以延续，大澳村以其传统的捕鱼文化和高跷房屋而闻名。与香港城郊乡村的土地居民不同，高跷屋居民的租住权缺乏保障，监管也不一致，尽管他们的生活方式被视为文化遗产。为了深入了解这一悖论，我们回顾了档案资料，并对20个高跷家庭的生活经历进行了民族志实地研究。文献和档案回顾揭示了香港历史上的土地权属改革，这些改革创造了非正式类别，并被操纵以达到战略目的。殖民时期的土地保有权改革遵循了中国血统村的模式，据说是为了使传统的土地保有权结构正规化。殖民政府没有制定一致的水占用政策，因此权属改革加强了中国的社会结构，使船民边缘化。居住在水里的香港人面临着殖民政策制定的偶然性，这种偶然性对非法土地使用的优待或惩罚是不公平的。在大澳，水上的过渡性房屋模式最终被赋予了自己模糊的伪土地使用权类别。鉴于船民在非正式生活中的独特历史，这个深入的案例研究揭示了船民独特的生活方式以及他们习惯的住房和空间实践。

This paper explores the intricate relationship between connective infrastructures, state sovereignty, and territorial control in Somalia, utilizing the Somali Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA) as a case study. The paper reveals how the SCAA's dejure authority is both appropriated and misappropriated within the broader context of political maneuvering in the country. It illuminates the ways in which aviation, as a critical infrastructure, has served both as a tool and a battleground for political influence and control, highlighting the strategic importance of the SCAA in Somalia's state-building efforts. Data for this study were collected through key informant interviews with politicians, bureaucrats, and private aviators. Through this detailed case study, the research contributes to the broader discourse on the role of infrastructure in shaping political landscapes and the complexities of state sovereignty in post-conflict settings.

本文以索马里民航局（SCAA）为例，探讨了索马里相关基础设施、国家主权和领土控制之间的复杂关系。本文揭示了在国家政治操纵的更广泛背景下，SCAA的法定权力是如何被挪用和被挪用的。它阐明了航空作为一项关键的基础设施，既是政治影响和控制的工具，也是政治战场的方式，突出了索马里航空安全理事会在索马里国家建设努力中的战略重要性。本研究的数据是通过对政治家、官僚和私人飞行员的访谈收集的。通过这一详细的案例研究，该研究有助于更广泛地讨论基础设施在塑造政治格局中的作用以及冲突后环境中国家主权的复杂性。

Shadow State and the making of informal territories: Negotiating conservation and communal land reforms in the Kenyan wildlife frontier 影子国家和非正式领土的形成：肯尼亚野生动物边境的保护和公共土地改革谈判

Achiba A. Gargule

Recent research on community-based conservation (CBC) has adapted political ecology theories to resource frontier contexts. This paper contributes to these efforts by exploring how the notion of the shadow state in CBC planning undermines the state's capacity to enforce regulations for community land reform in historical resource frontiers. This paper focuses on the CBC planning process of the Northern Rangeland Trust (NRT) in northern Kenya's wildlife frontier to illustrate the political authority of the shadow state in planning CBC interventions through community conservancies, which have led to the territorialization and commodification of communal natural resources. It analyzes the social foundations and practices of the NRT Shadow State, its informal accommodations with local intermediaries, its violent territorialization and monopolization of benefits, and how these ultimately hinder the state's ability to implement community land reforms. The paper argues that a nearly exclusive shadow state strategy of mobilizing resources from donors and global conservation networks and reorganizing institutional frameworks for the governance of natural resources are the endemic features that enable the NRT to plan and expand community conservancies in communal rangelands in Kenya's northern wildlife frontier. This process fosters informal conservation territories and governance configurations that weaken communal resource management and promote exclusionary practices on the ground. The paper concludes by reflecting on the broader implications of shadow state power for community land reforms, arguing that this authority challenges regulatory agencies, limiting their ability to provide adequate oversight and enforcement of regulations for community land reforms in resource frontiers.

最近的社区保护研究将政治生态学理论应用于资源前沿环境。本文通过探索CBC规划中的影子国家概念如何破坏国家在历史资源边界执行社区土地改革法规的能力，为这些努力做出了贡献。它分析了NRT影子国家的社会基础和实践，它与当地中介机构的非正式住宿，它的暴力领土化和利益垄断，以及这些最终如何阻碍国家实施社区土地改革的能力。这篇论文认为，从捐助者和全球保护网络调动资源以及重组自然资源治理的制度框架的几乎唯一的影子国家战略是使NRT能够在肯尼亚北部野生动物边界的公共牧场规划和扩大社区保护的特有特征。这一过程促进了非正式的保护区和治理结构，削弱了公共资源管理，促进了当地的排他性做法。本文最后反思了影子国家权力对社区土地改革的更广泛影响，认为这种权力挑战了监管机构，限制了它们为资源边界的社区土地改革提供充分监督和执行法规的能力。

Police statecraft and post-property possibilities in the Weelaunee forest struggle 警察治国之道和威劳尼森林斗争后的财产可能性

In the Weelaunee forest of so-called Atlanta, Georgia, over three years of struggle unfolded in an effort to decide the future of police power. The development of a corporate-funded police militarization training facility known as “Cop City” has threatened to clear-cut over 300 acres of forest, devastating a predominantly Black neighborhood's limited green space and protection from heat, floods, and pollution. A movement known as “Stop Cop City” and “Defend the Atlanta/Weelaunee Forest” used a diversity of protest tactics in an effort to defend the forest from Cop City's construction. Drawing on autoethnographic research as a criminalized forest defender and discourse analysis of both government documents and the movement's social history, I demonstrate the central role of police abolitionists' protest tactics of socio-spatial property transgression and commoning – post-property possibilities. I argue that the state's protection of police militarization infrastructure and harsh repression of forest defenders in response to the movement's post-property possibilities is defined by a counterterrorism strategy of police state legitimation – police statecraft. As forest defenders aim to prefigure a world beyond police and ecological collapse, a sprouting police state in the wake of the 2020 George Floyd anti-police uprisings asserts authoritarian means to solidify its reign.

在所谓的佐治亚州亚特兰大市的威劳尼森林里，为决定警察权力的未来展开了三年多的斗争。一个被称为“警察城”的警察军事化训练设施的开发，受到了300多英亩森林被砍伐的威胁，破坏了一个以黑人为主的社区有限的绿色空间，以及抵御高温、洪水和污染的保护。一场名为“停止警察城”和“保卫亚特兰大/威劳尼森林”的运动使用了多种抗议策略，努力保护森林免受警察城的建设。作为一名被定罪的森林捍卫者，通过对自己民族志的研究，以及对政府文件和该运动社会历史的话语分析，我展示了警察废奴主义者在社会空间财产侵犯和共同财产后可能性的抗议策略中的核心作用。我认为，国家对警察军事化基础设施的保护和对森林捍卫者的严厉镇压是对运动后财产可能性的回应，这是由警察国家合法化的反恐战略-警察治国方术所定义的。森林捍卫者的目标是预示一个超越警察和生态崩溃的世界，而在2020年乔治·弗洛伊德（George Floyd）反警察起义之后，一个正在萌芽的警察国家则主张用威权手段巩固其统治。

The development of a corporate-funded police militarization training facility known as “Cop City” has threatened to clear-cut over 300 acres of forest, devastating a predominantly Black neighborhood's limited green space and protection from heat, floods, and pollution. A movement known as “Stop Cop City” and “Defend the Atlanta/Weelaunee Forest” used a diversity of protest tactics in an effort to defend the forest from Cop City's construction. Drawing on autoethnographic research as a criminalized forest defender and discourse analysis of both government documents and the movement's social history, I demonstrate the central role of police abolitionists' protest tactics of socio-spatial property transgression and commoning – <em>post-property possibilities.</em> I argue that the state's protection of police militarization infrastructure and harsh repression of forest defenders in response to the movement's post-property possibilities is defined by a counterterrorism strategy of police state legitimation – <em>police statecraft.</em> As forest defenders aim to prefigure a world beyond police and ecological collapse, a sprouting police state in the wake of the 2020 George Floyd anti-police uprisings asserts authoritarian means to solidify its reign.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103356"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144099470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
