Affective politics and neoliberal subjectivities in ‘left behind’ places
Increased scholarly and political interest in the ‘geographies of discontent’ demands attention not only to the material—but also to the emotional and discursive—dimensions of regional inequality. Amidst growing investigation into the affective geographies of depopulation and post-industrial life, little empirical work yet explores how ‘left behind’ communities themselves contribute to broader political discourses concerning deprived places. This…
Left behind’ places versus peripheralized spaces
While present debates focus on ‘left behind’ places’ inequalities relative to ‘superstar’ regions, I contend that ‘left behind’ places are best understood within the relations of capitalism and power. I hence advocate reviving uneven development and peripheralization theories in contemporary regional inequality research, and develop an analytical framework for doing so which integrates absolute, relative, and relational ontologies of space. The f…
Transatlantic lessons from Bidenomics place-based policies
Both the UK and the US demonstrate social-economic spatial inequalities which are increasingly difficult for politicians to ignore. In the US, ‘Bidenomics’ policies pursued a geographically and socially-inclusive green-and-secure growth agenda, reflecting a resurgence of place-based policies worth learning from even beyond the Biden administration. Motivated by a transitioning government in the UK and a resurgent interest in place-based policy gl…

Can infrastructure help ‘left behind’ places ‘catch up?’ Theorizing the role of built infrastructure in regional development
The application of infrastructure as a regional development tool in resource peripheries has received little direct inquiry in both policy and scholarly debates. This article synthesizes theoretical and empirical directions across economic geography, regional studies and critical infrastructure studies to form a research agenda for investigating the role of built infrastructure in the development of ‘left behind’ peripheral regions in the USA. We…
Public Water System Governance in Rural Montana, USA
Recent waves of U.S. federal waterworks investments aim to repair material as well as socioeconomic deficits. Yet a growing recognition of the central role of local capacity in successful water resources and infrastructure governance raises questions about the extent to which such investments will engender more resilient rural communities. Synthesizing resilience theory with the drinking water governance literature, we use qualitative methods to …
Beyond city limits
Regional infrastructures are a main object of governance questions in urban contexts, yet similar phenomena in rural areas are underexplored. Rural public institutions serve small populations dispersed across large geographical areas, making regional collaborations a common antidote to inherent challenges in rural governance. This paper engages with the nascent dialogue surrounding infrastructural regionalism to interpret the governance and polit…
