The Awkward Spaces of Fathering
Stuart C. Aitken, San Diego State University
Weaving together theories of space, sexuality and
political identity with the stories of fathers from a range
of sources, including popular culture, this book seeks
to explore the spaces and movements of men as fathers.
It discusses the way in which geographies of space can
disconnect and disempower fathers, while societal
notions marginalize and disassociate them from raising
children. It explores how fathering identities are shaped
by family and community spaces and aims to move
the definition of “fathering” beyond its definition in
opposition to “mothering.” In doing so, it provides
insights into the contradictory nature of father’s lives
and into masculinity in general.
Contents: Preface; Introduction; Partially remembered
stories. Part I: FramIng: Fathering frames: some histories
and geographies; Recovering fatherhood. Part II:
ClosIng In: Cinematic landscapes and leaking bodies;
The inevitable father; Stretching the imagination.
Part III: movIng: Tactics, strategies and lines of flight;
Migrany moves. Part Iv: stoPPIng: geographic solutions
and trials by space; Punctured domesticity; Coming
home. ConClusIon—fathers besides themselves;

Black Beauty:
Aesthetics, Stylization, Politics
Shirley Anne Tate, University of Leeds, UK
“This book beautifully weaves theory, popular culture
and voices of women performing black beauty to
examine the multiple ways of being black in the 21st
century. Tate rejects the notion of pathology in black
women’s search for beauty, focusing instead on how
performativity challenges racialized hierarchies. A major
contribution is the analysis of how light-skinned black
women creatively respond to exclusions produced
by both ends of the black-white binary.”
—Patricia de Santana Pinho, State University
of New York, Albany
Combining rich ethnographic research among Black
British women of Caribbean heritage, with a discussion
of the broader “Black Atlantic” context, Shirley Tate
offers a unique exploration of beauty, race and identity
politics, revealing how Black women themselves
speak about, negotiate, inhabit, work on and perform
Black beauty.

Children’s Rights in Africa
A Legal Perspective
Edited by Julia Sloth-Nielsen, University
of the Western Cape, South Africa
“Virtuoso and indispensable resource on children’s
legal and human rights from the unique perspective
of the African context. This volume breaks new ground,
firmly rooting the tragic and too familiar calamities
of child hunger, displacement, AIDs, and violence
in the surprisingly fresh terrain being cultivated
to promote a vibrant child-rights agenda with
specifically African solutions.”
—Bernardine Dohrn, Northwestern University
School of Law, Chicago
Providing an assessment of children’s rights in Africa,
this volume examines how international and regional
law, policy and practice are integrated into various
countries. Notwithstanding the particular challenges
facing the African continent, the authors argue that
there are ample grounds for optimism.

Complying With Colonialism
Gender, Race and Ethnicity in the Nordic Region
Edited by Suvi Keskinen, University of Tampere,
Finland, Salla Tuori and Sari Irni, both at Åbo
Akademi University, Finland and Diana Mulinari,
University of Lund, Sweden
“…an important contribution to feminist postcolonial
studies…the authors challenge the notion of Nordic
exceptionalism and provide a key to understanding
intersecting patterns of oppression in a globalized world…”
—Paulina de los Reyes, Uppsala University, Sweden
Complying with Colonialism presents a complex
analysis of the habitual weak regard attributed
to the colonial ties of Nordic Countries. It introduces
the concept of “colonial complicity,” while offering
new insights for feminist and postcolonial studies.
The contributions from numerous international
academics illustrate its importance within sociological
academia, and the invaluable source of information
it holds for governmental researchers and policy makers.

Culture, Social Movements,
and Protest
Edited by Hank Johnston, San Diego State University
“Hank Johnston is a canny analyst of the link between
culture, collective action and political process. Through
his decade-long association with Mobilization, he has
also proved himself as a world-class editor. Here
he draws on both skills to forge an excellent collection.
Featuring some of the best known practitioners
in the field, Culture, Social Movements, and Protest
will no doubt attract the wide attention it fully deserves.”
—Mario Diani, University of Trento, Italy
This cutting-edge research volume advances the
perspective that cultural factors are key influences
in movement trajectories, organizational forms,
recruitment, strategies and ideologies. Hank Johnston
brings together international experts in cultural analysis
to focus on narratives, frames, speech acts, subcultural
networks and cultural theory. By introducing innovative
analytical methods, this title will be of key importance
to scholars in sociology, political science, geography,
anthropology and women’s studies.

contribution to a body of work that takes seriously
the part played by emotional responses…It deserves

Emotion, Place and Culture
Edited by Mick Smith, Joyce Davidson,
and Laura Cameron all at Queen’s University
and Liz Bondi, University of Edinburgh, UK
“This highly original interdisciplinary collection prompts
thinking about how emotional geographies critique
and re-constitute almost everything that geography
has so far taken for granted. In this way the book
extends existing work on emotion. The arguments
are rich and persuasive, and essential reading
for anyone interested in emotion and affect.”
—Robyn Longhurst, The University of Waikato,
New Zealand
Building on the achievements of Emotional Geographies
(2005), the editors have brought together leading
scholars such as Nigel Thrift, Alphonso Lingis and
Frances Dyson as well as young, up and coming

SERIES
Social and Cultural Geography
RE-MATERIALISING CULTURAL GEOGRAPHy
Series Editors: Mark Boyle, University of Strathclyde, UK, Donald Mitchell, Syracuse University and David Pinder, Queen Mary University of London, UK
Nearly 25 years have elapsed since Peter Jackson’s seminal call to integrate cultural geography back into the heart of social geography. During this time, a wealth
of research has been published which has improved our understanding of how culture both plays a part in, and in turn, is shaped by social relations based on class,
gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, sexuality and so on. In spite of the achievements of this mountain of scholarship, the task of grounding culture
in its proper social contexts remains in its infancy. This series therefore seeks to promote the continued significance of exploring the dialectical relations which exist
between culture, social relations and space and place. Its overall aim is to make a contribution to the consolidation, development and promotion of the ongoing project
of re-materializing cultural geography.

Revaluing The Arts, Remaking Urban Spaces
Louise C. Johnson, Deakin University, Australia
Re-materialising Cultural Geography
This book is about the power of the arts to enhance city
images, urban economies and communities. It offers
a series of five case studies to support an argument
for the arts contributing to sustainable urban regeneration.
By utilizing other literatures—on celebrity, postmodernity,
the post-colonial, tourism, representation
and film—the book interrogates a number of sites,
events and objects. It is contemporary, internationally
comparative, cross disciplinary and thematic.

Cultural Landscapes

Mariusz Czepczynski, University of Gdansk, Poland
Re-materialising Cultural Geography
“Post 1989 societal changes have impacted palpably
on East European urban structures. Cultural Landscapes
of Post-Socialist Cities offers a vivid account…”
—Anne Buttimer, University College Dublin, Eire
Since the velvet revolution of 1989, the totalitarian
communist urbanscapes of central European cities
have been “cleansed” or “recycled,” bringing in new
architectural, functional and social forms to transform
how they look and how they are used. This book
examines the culturally conditional variations between
local powers and structures despite the similarities
in the general processes and systems. It assesses whether
these urbanscapes clearly reflect the social, cultural
and political conditions and aspirations of these
transitional countries and so a critical analysis
of them provides important insights.

University of Technology Darmstadt, Germany
Re-materialising Cultural Geography
“Theoretically rich and geographically wide-ranging,
these creative and varied essays open up a plethora
of issues about the social construction of places, their
role in identity formation, and their representation
of ‘other’ worlds. Drawing on Lefebvrian insights,
the contributors range imaginatively over everything
from body language, urban semiotics and wireless
technology to representations of postcommunist
cities and the political significance of the visual.”

Fear: Critical Geopolitics
and Everyday Life
Edited by Rachel Pain and Susan J. Smith,
both at the University of Durham, UK
Re-materialising Cultural Geography
“It is not enough to say ‘face your fear.’ Your ‘fear’
or our ‘fear,’ contemporary debates too often treat
‘fear’ as if it can be resisted, manipulated, denied,
transformed. This collection of essays takes complexities
about ‘fear’ and enables us to do all of the above.
Its eclectic and challenging contributions place
the ‘fear’ debate into lived experience, political realities
and histories, ‘known’ resistance and acceptance
of one’s place in a complex world. A must read,
and a must discuss, with a little hope rather than
fear thrown in.”
—Betsy Stanko, Royal Holloway, University of London
and London Metropolitan Police
Through scares ranging from cot death, juvenile crime,
internet porn, asylum seekers, dirty bombs and avian
flu, we are bombarded with messages about emerging
risks. Through new theories and new research findings,
this book builds together a coherent argument, linking
political events taking place at an international scale
to ordinary people’s experiences of risk and fear in their
everyday lives.

Geographies of Muslim Identities
Diaspora, Gender and Belonging
Edited by Cara Aitchison, University of the West
of England, UK, Peter Hopkins, University
of Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK and Mei-Po Kwan,
Ohio State University
Re-materialising Cultural Geography
“Muslim identities are too often depicted as ‘the rest’
set against ‘the west.’ In a brave attempt to decouple
racism from religion, this book explores the gendered
cultural diversity of Muslim peoples. The message
is that geography, locality and mobility matter as much
as history and heritage for the shape of social life.
Treading a fine line, the authors celebrate multiple acts
of difference without comprising the integrity of Islam.”

and environmental studies, contributing effectively

Gesa Helms, University of Glasgow, UK

control and the new governance of urban safety…
Helms makes an original and provocative contribution
to the burgeoning scholarship on the contested politics
of the ‘criminalization’ of urban and social policy.”
—Gordon Hughes, Cardiff University, UK
Through an extensive exploration into the making and
remaking of urban spaces in the city of Glasgow, this
study explores the rising importance of policing, crime
control and community safety policies in the context of
the ongoing urban restructuring in old-industrial cities.

Edited by Gayle Letherby, University of Plymouth,
UK and Gillian Reynolds, Coventry University, UK
“This impressive book draws together the autobiographical
and the theoretical from across a range
of social academic disciplines and, through its focus
on gender and emotion, opens new opportunities
for reflection on the nature and significance of mobilities
as an emblematic characteristic of our time.”
—Susan Halford, University of Southampton, UK
The focus of this book is the emotional relationship that
individuals and groups have with travel. Emphasis is
placed upon the experience of travel itself and attention
is given to a variety of travel experiences. Adopting
innovative approaches to valuable material ranging from
personal experience to empirical research, Gendered
Journeys, Mobile Emotions opens up and illuminates
an interdisciplinary debate about the gendered nature
of traveling.

The way that the editors have sutured the breadth

promises to ignite considerably more dialogue among
those working in and across racialized sexuality
formations…provides readers with a wonderfully

Gender and Organizational Theory
“Vital, rich analysis for scholars of organizations

to illuminate how masculinities operate in agri-politics
(and in her interviews) and why so few women become
leaders in mainstream farming organizations.”
—Belinda Leach, University of Guelph
Using contemporary gender theory to examine gender
and rurality beyond that of simply women/femininities,
this illuminating book accurately locates the subject
of masculinities within the rural/agricultural context.
It will speak to academics in social sciences, gender
studies as well as management and organization studies.

Mobility and Place
Enacting Northern European Peripheries
Edited by Jørgen Ole Bærenholdt, Roskilde
University, Denmark and Brynhild Granås,
University of Tromsø, Norway
“…brings together astute theoretical practice
and detailed empirical investigation to shed light
on the entanglement of place and mobility in the
marginalized spaces of Northern Europe. In its refusal
to privilege either the located or the mobile it is
exemplary and should be read by all those interested
in the geographies of place and mobility.”
—Tim Cresswell, University of London, UK
Focusing on the Northern European periphery, this book
examines how people live in such remote spaces in an
emerging global world of connectivity, interdependency,
mobility and non-linear dynamics. It demonstrates how
specific relationships between mobility and place are
crucial in the making of societies and investigates their
intersection; how they mutually constitute each other.

Moved by Mary
The Power of Pilgrimage in the Modern World
�
Edited by Anna-Karina Hermkens,
Willy Jansen and Catrien Notermans,
all at Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands
“…a treasure trove, with surprising accounts of Marian
pilgrimages and suggestive new approaches to the
relations between humans and divine figures.”
—William A. Christian, Jr., author of Visionaries,
the Spanish Republic and the Reign of Christ
The Virgin Mary continues to attract devotees
to her images and shrines. In Moved by Mary,
anthropologists, geographers and historians explore
how people and groups around the world identify
and join with Mary in their struggle against social
injustice, and how others mobilize Mary to impose
ideas and rules and legitimize acts of violence
and suppression. Far from an outdated practice of little
relevance to the modern world, Marian pilgrimage
expresses the deep and urgent concerns of a wide range
of people. With examples of Marian pilgrimages
in Europe, America, South America, the Middle East,
Asia and the Pacific, Moved by Mary explores the ways
in which men and women of different ages and religious,
political, social-economic and ethnic backgrounds
empower themselves to deal with modern-day issues
with Mary’s help. The ethnographic cases reveal
the cultural and devotional variation of Marian
pilgrimage, but also global similarities. Collectively,
the contributors to Moved by Mary show how in many
places religion dramatically suffuses everyday life.

Multi-Sited Ethnography
Theory, Praxis and Locality
in Contemporary Research
Edited by Mark-Anthony Falzon, University of Malta,
Malta and Clare Hall, Cambridge, UK
“…social scientists have been in need of new
methodologies to generate relevant sets of data,
description and analysis. Multi-sited Ethnography
squarely addresses this need by providing a rich
set of critical reflections and practical examples for
researching social formations spanning numerous localities.”
—Steven Vertovec, Max Planck Institute for the Study
of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Germany
Multi-Sited Ethnography has established itself
as a full-fledged research method among anthropologists
and sociologists in recent years. It responds to the
challenge of combining multi-sited work with the need
for in-depth analysis, allowing for a more considered
study of social worlds. Its clear contribution to a rapidly
emerging field will be of interest to scholars of human
geography, anthropology, sociology and development
and migration studies.

Women’s Work
and Lives in Rural Greece
Appearances and Realities
Gabriella Lazaridis, University of Leicester, UK
“Based on first-hand personal empirical research
in two villages in western Crete in the 1980s, this book
offers some fascinating insights into a varied range
of factors influencing women’s working and domestic
lives, problematizing these categories. Women’s income
generating activities (producing craft products at home
in one village, working in family greenhouses in the
other) were systematically ignored in official statistics,
and the women classified as ‘housewives.’ But the effects
of their officially invisible new activities had startling
outcomes in terms of spousal and family relationships
and in the growth of women’s associations. Differences
in development between the two villages are discussed
in illuminating detail. There is much here to engage
the attention of those interested in gender, economic
development, the impact of EU policies at the local
level, the social construction of statistics, and caring
for older people.”
—Margaret Kenna, Swansea University, UK
This new volume explores the limits and possibilities
of economic change in transforming the lives of women
in rural Greece at a time of great economic and political
change. Through her rich and fascinating account of the
changing dynamics of rural life in a still-remote part of
Europe, Lazaridis provides an important contribution to
social anthropology, rural sociology and to the literature
on gender and development.

ASHGATE’S
GEOGRAPHIES
OF HEALTH SERIES
Series Editors: Allison Williams and
Susan Elliott, both at McMaster University
There is growing interest in the geographies of health
and a continued interest in what has more traditionally
been labeled medical geography. The traditional focus
of “medical geography” on areas such as disease
ecology, health service provision and disease mapping
(all of which continue to reflect a mainly quantitative
approach to inquiry) has evolved to a focus on
a broader, theoretically informed epistemology of health
geographies in an expanded international reach.
As a result, we now find this subdiscipline characterized
by a strongly theoretically-informed research agenda,
embracing a range of methods (quantitative; qualitative
and the integration of the two) of inquiry concerned
with questions of: risk; representation and meaning;
inequality and power; and culture and difference,
among others. Health mapping and modeling, has
simultaneously been strengthened by the technical
advances made in multilevel modeling, advanced
spatial analytic methods and GIS, while further engaging
in questions related to health inequalities, population
health and environmental degradation.
This series publishes superior quality research
monographs and edited collections representing
contemporary applications in the field, encompassing
original research as well as advances in methods,
techniques and theories. The Geographies of Health
series will capture the interest of a broad body
of scholars, within the social sciences, the health
sciences and beyond.
Therapeutic Landscapes
Edited by Allison Williams, McMaster University

“The concept of therapeutic landscapes has emerged

Allison Williams has assembled an impressive array

in a series of imaginative and constructively critical
engagements. This is a landmark edited collection.”
—Tony Gatrell, Lancaster University, UK
The therapeutic landscape concept, first introduced
early in the 1990s, has been widely employed
in health/medical geography and is gaining momentum
in various health-related disciplines. This volume
provides a critical evaluation of the development
and progress of the concept to date, signposting
the likely avenues for future investigation.

NEW DIRECTIONS IN
TOURISM ANALySIS
Series Editor: Dimitri Ioannides,
Missouri State University
Although tourism is becoming increasingly
popular as both a taught subject and an area
for empirical investigation, the theoretical underpinnings
of many approaches have tended to be eclectic
and somewhat underdeveloped. However, recent
developments indicate that the field of tourism
studies is beginning to develop in a more theoretically
informed manner, but this has not yet been matched
by current publications. This series fills this gap with
high quality monographs or edited collections that seek
to develop tourism analysis at both theoretical and
substantive levels using approaches which are broadly
derived from allied social science disciplines such as
Sociology, Social Anthropology, Human and Social
Geography, and Cultural Studies.

HERITAGE, CULTURE
AND IDENTITy
Series Editor: Brian Graham,
University of Ulster, UK
This series explores all notions of heritage
—including social and cultural heritage,
the meanings of place and identity, multiculturalism,
management and planning, tourism, conservation
and the built environment—at all scales from the
global to the local. Although primarily geographical
in orientation, it is open to other disciplines such
as anthropology, history, cultural studies, planning,
tourism, architecture/conservation, and local
governance and cultural economics.
Culture, Urbanism and Planning
Edited by Javier Monclus and Manuel Guardia,
both at Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain
Heritage, Culture and Identity
“…the book sheds new light and offers different
perspectives on the interaction between culture
and urbanism since the end of the nineteenth century
and makes it easier to understand some of the limits
and risks associated with the new planning ideas
and the new forms of urban management. Therefore,
scholars and practitioners of urbanism and planning
and related disciplines interested in cultural urbanism
can certainly benefit from the different cases and
perspectives examined in this book.”

Geography and Genealogy
Locating Personal Pasts
Edited by Dallen Timothy, Brigham Young
University, Provo and Jeanne Kay Guelke,
University of Waterloo
Heritage, Culture and Identity
“Dallen Timothy and Jeanne Kay Guelke have thrown
open the door to the once derided study of genealogy
in geographical investigations. While others have
explored personal pasts, the authors of this edited
volume offer a nuanced and critical view of how
we can gain new insight into past geographies
through genealogical records…Additionally, they offer
a penetrating examination of genealogy as a cultural
practice with a geography of its own.”
—Craig E. Colten, Louisiana State University
This volume is possibly the first ever book to address
the geographical and scholarly aspects of Genealogy.
It highlights tools and information sources used
by geographers and their application to family history
research. Furthermore, it examines family history
as a socio-cultural practice, including the activities
of tourism, archival research and DNA testing.

Visions of Space, Traditions of Place
Edited by Julia Brauch, Anna Lipphardt,
and Alexandra Nocke
Heritage, Culture and Identity
“Space is at the center of Jewish existence. Implicit
in the historical wanderings through Diaspora is the
yearning to place—lost, discovered, and constructed.
By drawing upon classical theories and fresh new
paradigms, this excellent volume demonstrates
the intensity of the desire for place in Jewish societies
and the ability of place to make time tangible.”
—Dan Ben-Amos, University of Pennsylvania
Grounding a range of global case studies from past
and present within a theoretical framework of the
“spatial turn,” it explores innovative metholodological
approaches that help to map Jewish topographies,
thereby offering a fascinating new perspective on Jewish
places in their diversity and multi-dimensionality.

Political Geography and Geopolitics
The Killing of Cambodia:
Geography, Genocide
and the Unmaking of Space
James Tyner, Kent State University
“…helps to remind readers of why social space
is fundamental for our intellectual efforts to answer
difficult questions about the horror of political violence.”
—Carl Dahlman, Miami University, Ohio
Between 1975 and 1978, the Khmer Rouge carried
out genocide in Cambodia that was, in many ways,
unparalleled in modern history. Taking an explicitly
geographical approach, this book argues whether
the Khmer Rouge’s activities not only led to genocide,
but also “terracide”—the erasure of space. It also
provides a clearer geographic understanding
to genocide and gives insights into the importance
of spatial factors in geopolitical conflict.

SERIES
Political Geography and Geopolitics
CONTEMPORARy
FOUNDATIONS
OF SPACE AND PLACE
Series Editor: John Agnew, University
of California, Los Angeles
Concepts of space and place as applied to human
society have old philosophical roots. What is new
is the varied ways in which these concepts and related
ones are now being used, blending older understandings,
drawn from the three classic geographic traditions that
emphasize the environmental (physical-human), spatial
(distributional), and regional (clustering) approaches
to geographic sameness and difference, with new
sensibilities and concerns about social and political
divisions. This series comprises ten volumes, each
one edited by a renowned scholar in the field who
contributes a substantial introduction to the volume.
They provide an authoritative reference source
in human geography and its major subfields.

The Politics of Sustainable Development
in Rural Ireland
Edited by John McDonaghy and Tony Varley,

Perspectives on Rural Policy and Planning
The ideal of achieving “sustainable rural development”
has become a key dimension of EU, national, regional
and local policy in recent years. Whether this ideal
is achievable in the near future to any substantial degree
is by no means certain. By examining both the north
and south of Ireland, this book asks what the sustainable

in specific policy areas and to what extent they are

BORDER REGIONS
Series Editor: Doris Wastl-Walter,
University of Bern, Switzerland
In recent years, borders have taken on an
immense significance. Throughout the world
they have shifted, been constructed and
dismantled, and become physical barriers
between socio-political ideologies. They may separate
societies with very different cultures, histories, national
identities or economic power, or divide people of the
same ethnic or cultural identity.
As manifestations of some of the world’s key political,
economic, societal and cultural issues, borders
and border regions have received much academic
attention over the past decade. This valuable series
publishes high quality research monographs and edited
comparative volumes that deal with all aspects of
border regions, both empirically and theoretically.
It will appeal to scholars interested in border regions
and geopolitical issues across the whole range
of social sciences.

Beyond Walls: Re-inventing the
Canada-United States Borderlands
Victor Konrad, Carleton University
and Heather Nicol, Trent University
Border Regions Series
“This excellent book fills a huge void in the emerging
research on the Canada-US border. Utilizing culture as
the lens to understand ‘rebordering’ in North America,
Konrad and Nicol show how border culture, the product
of the long history of relations and interactions among
people inhabiting northern North America, is malleable
over time and adjusts to facilitate the changes in
security, political and economic relations between
the two countries.”
—Donald K. Alper, Western Washington University
In a comprehensive examination of the Canada-USA
border post-9/11, this book argues that it has been
reinvented as a “state of the art,” technology-steeped
crossing system, while the image of the border has been
engineered to appear consistent with the “friendly”
border of the past. It shows how a border can evolve
and yet continue to function well, offering a model
for future borderlands elsewhere.

International Land Management Series
“…this book confirms that given a road to market
and some land scarcity, farmers can find means
to protect the soils. It is a finding that bears repeating.”
—Mary Tiffen, Overseas Development Institute,
London,UK
Bringing together case studies from Kenya, Benin,
Cameroon and the Philippines, this volume provides
a multidisciplinary overview of the economics of natural
resource management in Tropical regions, at household
and village levels. By comparing a wide array of climatic
and economic conditions, it examines the effect
that location and access to the market—as well

Biodivinity and Biodiversity
The Limits to Religious Environmentalism
Emma Tomalin, University of Leeds, UK
This book is concerned with the argument that religious
traditions are inherently environmentally friendly. Yet
in a developing country such as India, the majority
of people cannot afford to put the “Earth first” regardless
of the extent to which this idea can be supported
by their religious traditions. Does this mean that
the linking of religion and environmental concerns
is a strategy more suited to contexts where people
have a level of material security that enables them
to think and act like environmentalists? This question
is approached through a series of case studies from
Britain and India.

Ashgate Studies in Environmental Policy and Practice
“…engaging and accessible…In a wonderfully diverse
set of essays, the collection makes the case for the
significance of both explicit contestation over scientific
knowledge and more diffuse and everyday ways
of knowing places, environments, resources and people.”
—Becky Mansfield, Ohio State University

pressing concerns of the twenty-first century. Bringing
together a range of global case studies to illustrate the
broad range of current theories on this relationship, this
book presents significant cutting-edge research into the
continuing (re)definition of political ecology as it relates
to environmental contestation.

The Moving Frontier
The Changing Geography of Production
in Labour-Intensive Industries
Edited by Lois Labrianidis,
University of Macedonia, Greece
Ashgate Economic Geography Series
“This book illuminates central questions about the
delocalization challenge in five EU countries whose
collective experience is rarely examined: the UK,
Greece, Poland, Estonia, and Bulgaria.…This is
a valuable contribution to our thinking about
this topic.”
—Gary Gereffi, Duke University
Drawing from case studies from the Eastern and
South-eastern frontiers of the EU, this book examines
the changes in geography of European production in
labor-intensive industries. It investigates the multitude
of processes, as well as diverse consequences of global
integration upon industries, regions, enterprises and
employees. The book also defines and analyzes multiple
causes of decentralization, arguing that it is not simply
the pursuit of cheaper and more adaptable labor.

Edited by Jose Antonio Puppim de Oliveira,
Brazilian School of Public and Business
Administration, Getulio Vargas Foundation,
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Ashgate Economic Geography Series
“Markets are growing increasingly demanding in terms
of social, environmental and labor standards, which
poses a challenge to firms that are not prepared
to ensure compliance. This book sheds light on how
clustered firms respond to this challenge and outlines
how public policy and insertion into global value chains
affects their capacity to comply and compete.”
—Giovanna Ceglie, United Nations Industrial
Development Organization (UNIDO), Vienna
Based on case studies from Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia
and India, this volume examines SME clusters and
argues that unless they counteract common problems
such as very low wages, poor working conditions, poor
quality products and lack or environmental regulation,
they will be pushed out of the market and so become
unsustainable. It puts forward conceptual frameworks
which explain the way firms can upgrade: through
markets, interaction among cluster members, through
Corporate Social Responsibility and other such public
policy, and through the better enforcement of regulation.

The spread of urbanization has transformed the concept
of the city, but the way urban planners, urban scientists
and, above all, urban dwellers address it has also
changed. The city is thus a new topic for geography,
a discipline that has experienced an ambiguous
relationship to cities in the past. Drawing together
a wide range of texts from philosophers, sociologists
and economist as well as geographers and urban
planners, this volume provides a theoretical framework
within which this question can begin to be explored.

Economy
Critical Essays in Human Geography
Edited by Ron Martin, University of Cambridge, UK
Contemporary Foundations of Space and Place
Economic geographers have always argued that space
is key to understanding the economy, that the processes
of economic growth and development do not occur
uniformly across geographic space, but rather differ
in degree and form as between different nations,
regions, cities and localities. This collection of articles
conveys a sense of this debate and its importance in
grasping the spatialities of contemporary economic life.

THE DyNAMICS OF
ECONOMIC SPACE
Series Editor: Richard Le Heron,
University of Auckland, New Zealand
The IGU Commission on The Dynamics
of Economic Space aims to play a leading
international role in the development, promulgation
and dissemination of new ideas in economic geography.
It has as its goal the development of a strong analytical
perspective on the processes, problems and policies
associated with the dynamics of economic spaces
as they are incorporated into the globalizing world
economy. In recognition of the increasing complexity
of the world economy, the Commission’s interests
extend necessarily beyond industrial production alone
to include business services, the broader service
economy including e-business, enterprise and the
creation of social capital, the changing world of work
and intensifying economic interconnectedness.

The City as a Terminal
The Urban Context of Logistics
and Freight Transport
Markus Hesse, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Transport and Mobility
This book examines the interrelationship between
logistics development on one hand and urban
development and geographical issues, such as land
use and location, on the other. It also bridges
the gap between recent geographical research into
new production systems and (post)modern consumption
patterns. Illustrated with international case studies,
it argues that modern logistics are fundamentally
shaping the function and the character of urban places,
particularly since logistics networks are increasingly
being established distant and independent from cities.

Until recently, facilitation of car-based travel has been
central to the planning of cities in the developed world,
resulting in urban sprawl. Planners have increasingly
been addressing issues of urban environmental
sustainability and a key concern has been to develop
an accessible city within the context of reducing
the need to travel, particularly by car.

Gendered Mobilities
Edited by Tanu Priya Uteng, Norwegian
University of Science and Technology, Norway
and Tim Cresswell, University of London, UK
Transport and Society
“Gendered Mobilities provides the missing gender
dimension to the growing literature on mobilities.
Its wide perspectives (social, technological and
geographical), make this collection a must for
a contemporary understanding of mobilities, even
beyond its focus on gender. The intriguing discussions
presented in various chapters will surely yield additional
studies in the future.”
—Aharon Kellerman, University of Haifa, Israel
Alongside health, education and political participation,
mobility is indispensable in order for women to reach
goals such as agency and freedom. Building on new
philosophical underpinnings of “mobility,” whereby
society is seen to be framed by the convergence
of various mobilities, this volume focuses on the
intersection of mobility, social justice and gender.

The Ethics of Mobilities
Rethinking Place, Exclusion, Freedom
and Environment
Edited by Sigurd Bergmann and Tore Sager,
both at Norwegian University of Science
and Technology, Norway
Transport and Society
“To speed up or to slow down? In this fresh, pioneering
collection of remarkably accessible essays, the issue of
mobilities in many contexts is considered from a range
of perspectives, including religious studies and theology.
Introducing new questions and methodologies, this
‘must-read’ volume marks an important contribution
to the bourgeoning scholarly discussion of mobility.”
—Peter M. Scott, University of Manchester, UK
With this book the international academic discourse on
mobility is taken a step further, through the intertwined
perspectives of different social sciences, engineering
and the humanities. The Ethics of Mobilities builds
upon the recent interest in social surveillance, widening
the theme to encompass a broad scale of questions,
ranging from freedom and escape to social exclusion
and control, thus raising important questions of ethics,
identity and metaphysics.

Mobility in Daily Life
Between Freedom and Unfreedom
Malene Freudendal-Pedersen, Roskilde
University, Denmark
Transport and Society
Mobilities give us freedom, but at the same time, they
create “unfreedom,” as they shape our lives within
certain frames. Using an innovative form of narrative—
“structural stories”—this book argues that, in order
to get the most of the freedom that mobility can create,
we install “in-between” free spaces when traveling.
It also notes the contradiction, that we create these free
spaces in the mobility which plays a big part in eroding
free spaces in everyday life.
Contents: Preface; Introduction; Mobility’s anchorage
in late modern everyday life; Structural stories; Freedom;
The time in mobility; Conclusions; Ambivalences,
sustainability and Utopias; Bibliography.

“Bridging the new mobilities paradigm associated
with John Urry and the reflexive modernization
theory associated with Ulrich Beck, this book offers
an important theoretical synthesis of emerging
transnational and cross-disciplinary research in the
social sciences. Accompanied by innovative empirical
case studies of the intersections of automobility,
work and home mobility in Europe, it will serve
as an indispensable guide to the vibrant new field
of mobilities research.”
—Mimi Sheller, Swarthmore College and Lancaster
University, UK
Mobility is one of the basic principles of modernity.
This book is a foray into the exciting new field
of interdisciplinary mobility research informed
by theoretical reflection and empirical investigation.
It presents a movement that begins with the macrosocial
transformations linked to mobility, concluding
with empirical discussions on the new forms of mobility
and their implications for everyday life.

to pressures on the road network which are causing
serious economic, environmental and social problems.
It is now widely accepted that unrestrained demand

examines the full range of “push and pull” Travel
Demand Management measures, including regulatory,
pricing, planning and persuasive policies to encourage
individuals to make their trips in off-peak periods,
by a different mode or to find another way of carrying
out the trip purpose. The editors conclude with

Greg Young argues that there is a need and opportunity

of “culturization,” which is defined as the ethical,
critical and reflexive integration of culture into planning.
This original and practical system is put forward, taking
into account cultural theory, neo-modern and postmodern
planning theory.

CRITICAL ESSAyS IN PLANNING THEORy
Series Editors: Jean Hillier and Patsy Healey
Planning theory has a history of common debates about ideas and practices and is rooted in a critical
concern for the “improvement” of human and environmental well-being, particularly as pursued through
interventions which seek to shape environmental conditions and place qualities.
This three-volume set provides an authoritative collection, in an accessible form, of the most important
and influential articles and papers on planning theory. While acknowledging that this discipline draws
on a diverse range of intellectual inspirations and influences, the papers included are specifically focused on the
planning field. These volumes are organized in a broadly chronological sequence, with major bodies of thought
grouped together. Each includes an introduction reviewing the specific content of that volume and brief introductions
are also provided for each section within the volumes.

URBAN PLANNING
AND ENVIRONMENT
Series Editors: Donald Miller, University
of Washington and Gert de Roo, University
of Groningen, The Netherlands
Maintaining and enhancing living conditions
in cities through a combination of physical planning
and environmental management is a newly emerging
focus of governments around the world. For example,
local governments seek to insulate sensitive land
uses such as residential areas from environmentally
intrusive activities such as major transport facilities
and manufacturing. Regional governments protect
water quality and natural habitat by enforcing pollution
controls and regulating the location of growth. Some
national governments fund acquisition of strategically
important sites, facilitate the renewal of brown fields,
and even develop integrated environmental quality plans.
This series shares information on experiments and
best practices of governments. These empiricallybased
studies present and critically assess a variety
of initiatives to improve environmental quality.
Although institutional and cultural contexts vary,
lessons from one commonly can provide useful ideas
to other communities. Each of the contributions are
independently peer reviewed, and are intended to be
helpful to professional planners and environmental
managers, elected officials, representatives of NGOs,
and researchers seeking improved ways to resolve
environmental problems in urban areas and to foster
sustainable urban development.

Neo-historical East Berlin
Architecture and Urban Design
in the German Democratic Republic
Florian Urban, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany
Ashgate Studies in Architecture
In the years prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall,
the leaders of the German Democratic Republic
planned to construct a city center that was
simultaneously modern and historical, consisting
of both redesign of old buildings and new architectural
developments. Drawing from recently released archival
sources and interviews with former key government
officials, decision-makers and architects, this book sheds
light not only on this unique program in postmodern
design, but also on the debates which were taking place
with the Socialist government.

DESIGN AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Series Editor: Matthew Carmona
This series provides a means to disseminate more substantive urban and environmental design research.
Specifically, contributions will be welcomed which are the result of original empirical research, scholarly
evaluation, reflection on the practice and the process of urban design, critical analysis of particular
aspects of the built environment, or important conference proceedings. Volumes should be of international
interest, although they may focus on the particular experience and practice in one country. They may also
reflect theory and practice from across one or more of the spatial scales over which urban design operates, from
environmental and spatial design of settlements, to a concern with large areas of towns and cities—districts
or quarters, to consideration of individual developments, urban spaces and networks of spaces, to the contribution
of architecture in the urban realm.
Architecture and Utopia
The Israeli Experiment
Michael Chyutin and Bracha Chyutin,
Chyutin Architects, Israel
Design and the Built Environment
“This is the first comprehensive academic book on
the architectural planning of utopian rural settlements
in Israel during the last century. The authors, well-
known architects, brilliantly analyze the layouts
of the settlements in relation to the different prevalent
social ideologies and the impact of changes on
their development in time. Most interesting are the
observations made in the broader context of the history
of utopian and ideal settlements design and modern
city planning.”

Designing Sustainable Cities
in the Developing World
Edited by Roger Zetter, University of Oxford, UK
and Georgia Butina Watson, Oxford Brookes
University, UK
Design and the Built Environment
“…should be acknowledged for its refreshingly
pragmatic introduction of a new perspective on cities
that is innovative in scale, content and objectives, which
could lead to sustainable development of cities and
would allow the future generations to meet their needs
after a well-planned urbanization…such compilation
of well-researched essays and case studies, which
are pertinent to worldwide situations, can promote
discussions and lead towards steps in the direction
of bringing about sustainable design of cities in the
developing world and reconciliation between
conservation of heritage and the speed of urban changes.”

In Dwelling
Implacability, Exclusion and Acceptance
Peter King, De Montfort University, UK
Design and the Built Environment
“Peter King has produced an idiosyncratic and highly
readable contribution to analyzing the concept of
‘dwelling.’ The book is thought-provoking, insightful
and entertaining. In engaging with an impressive
range of theory and popular culture, it takes numerous
unexpected turns with wit and originality. I can think
of no other writer who can provide such an accessible
examination of subjectivity and the home through
an eclectic yet rewarding mix of philosophy, sociology,
literature and film.”
—Tony Manzi, University of Westminster, UK
Using innovative theoretical concepts, this book
develops a new approach to looking at dwelling
and how we use it. Combining philosophical analysis
and literary and film criticism, it puts forward an
innovative and insightful new approach to looking
at housing and explores issues of exclusion, isolation,
anxiety, privacy and the relations between parent
and child.

Travel, Space, Architecture
Edited by Jilly Traganou and Miodrag Mitrasinovic
both at Parsons The New School of Design
Design and the Built Environment
Bringing together a range of global case studies,
this book examines the influence of travel on designing
and producing spatial conceptions and forms
and argues that, rather than architecture being “rooted”
to place as has traditionally been asserted, border
crossings and cross-cultural encounters have always
been a prevailing paradigm

The Politics of the Piazza
The History and Meaning of the Italian Square
Eamonn Canniffe, Manchester Metropolitan
University UK
Design and the Built Environment
“Eamonn Canliffe’s book is very important. It describes
the spatial, political, and historical characteristics
of Italy’s heterogeneous public spaces…for any architect
in search of inspiration it is tempting to see this as the
most relevant book on Italian urban space since Camillo
Sitte wrote City Planning According to Artistic Principles
in 1889.”
—Architecture Today
Through a detailed study of the principal spaces
of Italian cities, this book explores the relationship
between political systems and their methods
of representation in architecture. Illustrated
by contemporary photographs and analytical
drawings, it examines significant piazzas in their social
and political contexts, highlighting the urban evidence
of shifts between autocratic and democratic forms
of government—from antiquity to the present day.

Olympic Cities:
2012 and the Remaking of London
Edited by Gavin Poynter, and Iain MacRury,
both at University of East London, UK
Design and the Built Environment
London’s bid to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic
Games was based upon the event providing a significant
catalyst for the regeneration and renewal of East London
and was more about social, cultural and economic
aspects than sport. Drawing upon historical, cultural,
economic and socio-demographic perspectives, this
book examines the role of a sporting mega-event
in promoting urban regeneration and social renewal.
