Insights from Antipodean legal geography
Scholarly work in the field of legal geography has grown dramatically in recent decades. While much legal geography scholarship has been influenced by a European-North American perspective, we argue that a distinctive legal geography scholarship also emanates from outside the dominant perspective. Here, we review research from Australia and New Zealand/Aotearoa and label this work as Antipodean legal geography (ALG). We suggest ALG research has m…

Pandemic surveillance and mobilities across Sydney, New South Wales
In response to the acute public health crisis of COVID‐19 in 2020 and 2021, governments in Australia and around the world rushed to institute technologies to track human bodies with “live” surveillance. In Australia, “lockdowns” halted human mobilities in all states for different periods, and technologies for tracking bodies and collecting data were introduced after and between physical lockdowns. In this article, we analyse both the monitoring t…
Indigenous biocultural rights and the Blue Mountains
Indigenous knowledges play a critical role in addressing the environmental crisis, and the United Nations system has adopted a suite of international treaties to protect and strengthen Indigenous peoples' rights, which are often described as biocultural rights. Because World Heritage Areas are nominated and monitored by UNESCO, an initial hypothesis in this study was that such areas would be subject to higher than normal standards in regard to In…
The Emu
The emu is endemic to Australia and is one of the world’s largest flightless birds. For Indigenous peoples, the emu is a highly significant and totemic species—a fact that is poorly recognised by many. Emu shows itself, and is positioned as: a national symbol in the Australian Commonwealth Coat of Arms; a spirit and Dreaming‐creation belief involving the sky; a scientific animal; medicine and food; an oil; and as a component that has been isolate…
Legal geographies of kava, kastom and indigenous knowledge
Recognising Indigenous customary law of totemic plant species
The Nagoya Protocol encourages academics, government bureaucrats, and traditional owners to look at how customary law might be utilised within state law frameworks to improve and resolve "access and benefit-sharing" processes. This paper examines and reviews legal, anthropological, and historical texts relating to biodiversity and associated knowledge to explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples' customary laws and governance. Understan…
Pathological lives
Legal pluralisms, justice and spatial conflicts
Critical legal pluralism acknowledges both the multiple sources and forms of law, and their dynamic interaction, within singular geographical spaces at whatever scales they are defined. Challenging conventional constructs of law and jurisdiction, the articles in this themed section draw on the ideas of legal pluralism, justice and spatial conflict to explore the experience, interaction, impact and possibilities of the plurality of laws in particu…
Identifying and Preventing Biopiracy in Australia
There are legal and moral imperatives to protect biological resources and the ‘traditional knowledge’ associated with them. These imperatives derive from complex legal geographies: international law (such as the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol), State and federal laws, Indigenous customary law, codes of ethics and research protocols. This paper reports on a ‘patent landscape’ analysis of patents that refer to Australian…
(En)countering counterfeits in Bangkok
In a Bangkok mall a fibreglass policeman warning against intellectual property ( IP ) piracy stands just metres away from vendors selling fake DVD s; a scene indicative of incomplete and unsuccessful attempts by foreign governments (the US and EU in particular) and corporate actors at enrolment towards ever‐higher IP standards – the “ IP ratchet” that Drahos (2004 Temple Law Review, 77 , pp. 401–424) describes. But the scene also reflects cultura…
People, plants, place, and rules
This paper considers the rules informing the use of plants and associated knowledges in the Pacific, particularly Vanuatu, in the context of the introduction into the Pacific region of the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Nagoya Protocol, which entered into force in October 2014, brings both new international …
Hybrid identities
The Moken and Moklen are an indigenous population residing along the Andaman coast of Thailand. They have been represented, both in popular and academic discourse, as seafaring nomads living in traditional boats and small temporal coastal communities. The overwhelmingly precept of the existing literature about the Moken is one of vulnerability and of stemming the erosion of ‘authentic’ Moken cultural identities. Identification of Moken as being u…

Legal Geographies of Intellectual Property, 'Traditional' Knowledge and Biodiversity
This article explores the existence of customary laws relating to 'traditional' knowledge of plants in Thailand through micro-ethnographic case studies. This is juxtaposed against global and national frameworks of intellectual property laws that have a privatising effect on knowledge under the rubric of discovery or 'invention', as well as liability rights approaches of compensation and benefit-sharing for research access. By understanding scale …
Legal Geography
Law is a powerful influence on people and place. Law both creates and is created by the relationship between people and place, although it rarely acknowledges this. Law frequently operates as if space does not matter. Law and legal processes, therefore, deserve greater attention from geographers. Legal geography is an emerging field of inquiry that facilitates much-needed attention to the interrelationships among the environment, people and socia…
Governing Knowledge
With global shifts in the format of international trade negotiations—from multilateral to bilateral and regional fora—possibilities for the unequal exercise of power have amplified. At risk are the trade-related interests of “developing” economies, as well as public policy issues like access to medicines. In response we analyse some of the emerging governmental approaches currently being employed for trade-related intellectual property (IP) rules…
Locating Biopiracy
The issue of 'biopiracy' inevitably evokes a wide variety of responses and emotions. It is likely that, for this reason, few academic articles have adequately or fully explored the discourse and/or issue. In this paper I analyse the strategic employment of the term and counterarguments generated by different parties including activists, nongovernmental organisations, academics, industry, and government representatives. Using the concept of 'situa…
Creative Networks in Regional Australia
Much recent academic and public discourse has centred on the fate of non-metropolitan Australia under successive federal neoliberal reform agendas. This paper discusses creative networks in non-metropolitan areas in light of this, with a focus on issues of youth unemployment and out-migration. First, it draws on research on creative industry development on the New South Wales Far North Coast to assess the efficacy of creative networks as a source…
