This exciting book levers open a space for a politics that regards space as a living thing rather than a dead backdrop. In doing so, it challenges a whole series of preconceptions about what politics is or might be, and begins to formulate means of eating away at the foundations of concepts like globalization that so often are used by the powerful to peddle one world fits all solutions. Professor Nigel Thrift, University of Bristol
"The book sets out to be an intervention in, and make a contribution to, a growing literature on questions of scale, rescaling, and politics of scale [...] this book is a welcome addition to what remains a very fertile and promising debate" Erik Swyngedouw, Environment and Planning
Herod and Wright s book is well organized and coherent [Geographies of Power: Placing Scale] provides a useful overview of the new conceptualizations of geographical scale that are being developed by radical geographers.
American Journal of Sociology
The book opens with an introductory essay by the editors, outlining some of the main themes that have arisen in discussions about geographical scale to date. The contributors then consider in more detail key questions about how our world is scaled, how we think about such scaling, and how social actors whether terrorists, environmentalists, or corporate executives go about scaling their activities in ways that allow them to exercise power or deny it to others.
This timely book will stimulate readers to find new ways to define the terms and spaces of political struggle open to them.
