Immersive storytelling for pro-environmental behaviour change
Immersive media is becoming more mainstream but its role in challenging social norms and individuals’ behaviours is less understood. We implemented a survey at The Green Planet Augmented Reality Experience, one of the largest immersive experiences in the United Kingdom, investigating the potential of nature-themed augmented reality (AR) experiences to encourage sustainability beliefs and pro-environmental behaviours, with a one-month follow-up. A…
What is Antarctica
Antarctica is an integral element to the study of global systems and global governance – for good reason. It offers an interesting case study of how nation-states have assembled a shared understanding of how to govern a continent and surrounding ocean that has never had an indigenous human population. The Antarctic Treaty (1959) lies at the heart of this consensus-based model of regional governance. There are rules, norms and values that underpin…
The Cambridge History of the Polar Regions
The Cambridge History of the Polar Regions is a landmark collection drawing together the history of the Arctic and Antarctica from the earliest times to the present. Structured as a series of thematic chapters, an international team of scholars offer a range of perspectives from environmental history, the history of science and exploration, cultural history, and the more traditional approaches of political, social, economic, and imperial history.…

Earthly volumes, voluminous materialities
This editorial introduces the special issue 'Earthly Volumes, Voluminous Materialities: Working with Apprehension'. Situated within the volumetric turn while adopting voluminous approaches that critique how social and natural relations shape and are shaped by territory's multidimensionality, the issue's articles explore how state and non-state actors have sought to understand, grasp, and control emergent domains historically and into the present.…
Against decline? The geographies and temporalities of the Arctic cryosphere
Over centuries, Western desires of Arctic space have consistently worked to render icy locales of the North legible to an audience further south. In non-Indigenous reportage, the Arctic has been framed through a dominating lens that narrates it as a 'natural region' or cryosphere where elemental qualities such as cold, ice, snow and darkness reign supreme. The cryosphere is often overwhelmingly dissected and demarcated not by Indigenous historica…
Addressing vaccine concerns through the spectrum of vaccine acceptance
Th anniversary of Territory, Politics, Governance
Ten years ago, the founding Editor-in-Chief of Territory, Politics, Governance, Professor John Agnew, published an editorial in the inaugural issue of this journal. Launched by the Regional Studies Association, and enabled and supported by fellow editors and the publishing team, the vision of the journal was set out clearly and concisely: ‘The intersection between the three words in the journal’s name defines the central purpose of the journal: t…
The distribution of non-sense and the cultivation of the less-than-sensible
Ben Gerlofs’ article on the transgressive qualities of humour reminds us that it humour is a deadly serious business. Getting it wrong can be costly, even fatal. Comedians and humourists have along with journalists and academics been targeted by regimes and individuals who don’t care for interventions that expose either the nonsensical nature of regimes and/or assault cultural and religious norms. In this short intervention, some comments are off…
The 'borderlands' of the science-policy interface
In this commentary, using the UK as our example, we focus on what we describe as the borderlands of the science-policy interface (SPI) and use two case studies to sketch out where we think there are further opportunities for geographers and others interested in advocating and engaging. As authors we bring to the topic different professional backgrounds and experiences at the SPI, ranging from ex-Deputy Chief Scientist at Natural England with a re…
Subterranean Displacements and Replacements in Singapore
Geographical writings on displacement have highlighted how processes of dispossession are instrumental in rupturing the connection between peoples and place or territory. These studies, however, tend to privilege horizontal and surface-level inquiries, thereby neglecting the ways in which the volumetric and subterranean matter to the analytical sites and lived scales of displacement. Using the case of Singapore, where underground spaces have been…
The Arctic
The Arctic: A Very Short Introduction provides an account of the Arctic, its physical environment, and its people. The Arctic is demanding global attention as it warms, melts, and thaws in a manner that threatens not just its 4 million inhabitants, but the whole planet. The reduction of the Arctic to its changing environment would ignore the complexities of the region and its potential. This VSI explores key issues facing the region today, from g…
The Greening of Antarctica
In the interests of full disclosure, I should note that I was a Ph.D. examiner of the author of this book, Alessandro Antonello, and that I thought it was a rich and provocative exemplar of environmental history. As a political geographer who has researched the contested geopolitics and governance of Antarctica for many years, I consider that the Ph.D. thesis, now revised in this monograph, is a welcome intervention in both environmental history …

Unhealthy geopolitics? Bordering disease in the time of coronavirus
COVID-19 is highlighting and exposing how public health and geopolitics intersect across spaces, scales, and settings. Existing literature focuses on the geopolitical determinants of health such as the allocation of foreign health-related assistance in postcolonial spaces and the relationship between population health and the health impacts of exploiting resources for economic benefit. How populist nationalism shapes public reactions to disease h…
Geopolitics and Ice Humanities
This paper develops further interrogation into ‘icy geopolitics’ and what it might tell us about how we treat substances like ice as geopolitical matter. It brings together various literatures that speak to ice as a substance and substantial matter. Second, ice is represented and experienced in a multitude of ways, from oral cultures of indigenous communities living and working in the Arctic and mountainous environments. This matters again becaus…
God save the Falklands
The representation of the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) within British and Argentine national imaginations differed for much of the post-1945 period. The diverse origins of place names might form the basis for a rather different geographical and cultural view of the Falklands/Malvinas. The historical fantasy and national mythologies employed in the public debates on the Falklands sought comparisons with the Second World War, the Spanish Armad…
The Covid-19 pandemic
As editors of Territory, Politics, Governance, we want first and foremost to express our solidarity with those affected and impacted directly by the COVID-19 pandemic. While none of us is untouched by the current public health crisis, what has unfolded thus far reveals only too clearly the inbuilt inequalities of contemporary capitalist society in terms of mortality, illness and recovery (for a pre-COVID-19 discussion of the United States, see Ca…
Staying with trouble
The idea that we might ‘stay with trouble’ is indebted to the intellectual corpus of Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita in the History of Consciousness Department and in the Feminist St
Antarctic Diplomacy in a Time of Pandemic
In the reporting about COVID -19 diplomacy, Antarctica has functioned as the exceptional — the only continent, thus far, not to record a single case of COVID -19, although cases were reported on Antarctic tourism vessels in the northern Antarctic Peninsula. For six decades, Antarctic governance has been an experiment in global democracy and diplomacy. Under the auspices of the Antarctic Treaty (1959) and associated legal instruments, all Consulta…
Popular Geopolitics Past and Future
This short and hopefully provocative paper serves as both a retrospective of the past twenty years of critical work on so-called popular geopolitics and also an impetus for a more theoretical connection to related areas within cultural studies, such as fan studies. An overarching theme of the history of popular geopolitics has been a concern over geopolitical representation and discourse, which is only now beginning to shift towards audience inte…
Popular geopolitics and audience dispositions
This paper is concerned with the further theoretical development of popular geopolitics with explicit reference to audience dispositions and reception more generally. Using the James Bond film series, and in particular Die Another Day (2002) and the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), it is contended that political geographers need to better understand how audiences and film fans in particular interpret the popular geopolitics of film. One of the str…
Introduction to the Special Issue
Recent scholarship in political geography and allied disciplines such as Anthropology and Architecture has used registers such as the elemental and volumetric to explore the calculative, material, technical, and atmospheric interventions in, on, through and beneath the earth’s surface. In this special issue, our contributors engage in a ‘subterranean turn’, as they drill down, dive into, travel through and speculate with underground and underwate…
Licensed to Stereotype
This article explores the geopolitical and post-imperial significance of Ian Fleming's famous spy, Commander James Bond RN/007. By drawing on two films, From Russia with Love (1963) and The World is Not Enough (1999), it is argued that these productions not only contest Britain's post-1945 decline in international influence but also actively subvert the binary politics of the Cold War and its aftermath. The actual location of the filming (in Turk…

Steve Bell's Eye
This article explores the geopolitical representations of British cartoonist Steve Bell. The Bush administration's so-called 'War on Terror' provides a political and visual backdrop to a detailed analysis of a number of Bell's editorial cartoons in the British newspaper The Guardian, as well as an interview conducted with the artist. As with cartoonists in the past, Bell's work seeks to provide a contemporary view of events in a manner that calls…
Radio geopolitics
This paper considers some of the interdisciplinary scholarship on radio and sound more generally for the purposes of considering how geopolitical scholarship might reconsider its predominantly visual focus. The first part considers radio and its relationship to studies of propaganda, international diplomacy and even everyday life. Thereafter, attention is given to new themes such as researching radio cultures, broadcasting infrastructure and tech…

Popular Geopolitics and Cartoons
This paper considers the popular geopolitical significance of cartoons and caricature. Using the work of the South African cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro (Zapiro), I consider how the generic properties of the cartoon question and critique agents of state power including President Jacob Zuma. Such properties include condensation, simplification, repetition and exaggeration. While traditions of cartooning and caricature are well established in Europe …
Screening Geopolitics
This paper seeks to extend the remit of popular geopolitics by considering the role and significance of places and their inhabitants in shaping the narrative structures of films. By using the example of the James Bond series from the 1960s, it is suggested that there is more complex series of geographies to be acknowledged. Arguably most of the trade press reviewers were largely content to argue that places were simply 'exotic locations'. With a …

Screening terror
This paper is concerned with how and with what consequences Hollywood studios have approached the issue of terrorism. By drawing on the literatures of critical terrorism studies and critical geopolitics, a number of films are analysed for the purpose of considering the nature and motivation of terrorists, the objects of their assaults, the geographical location of the actual dramas, and the responses deemed necessary in the face of such apparent …
The Geopolitical Audience
This article argues for the intersection of popular geopolitics and audience studies in audience power. This is demonstrated through a survey of viewers attending the James Bond film Quantum of Solace (QoS) at three theatres in the greater London area. Geography emerged as relevant to audiences in three forms. First, geography was understood as a catalyst for resource-based wars, providing an opportunity to reflect on these conflicts and their fu…
It's Not a Laughing Matter
This paper explores the possibilities of considering humour and laughter as a serious matter of concern for critical geopolitics and political geography more generally. While there has been some interest in this topic, there is scope to devise a more expansive research agenda. Using both laughter and Michael Billig's notion of unlaughter, the paper considers how these visceral expressions contribute, often in subtle ways, to the making of geopoli…

Post-colonial Antarctica
This paper outlines an emerging post-colonial engagement with Antarctica. Although ‘post-colonialism’ is a term that covers a great diversity of theoretical and political perspectives, it is generally agreed that it is united in its critical evaluation of colonialism and associated practices. Antarctica, thus far, has not attracted a great deal of attention from post-colonial scholars. By drawing on the limited engagement with Antarctica thus far…

Hollywood and the 'War on Terror
This paper explores the popular geopolitics of Hollywood cinema in the years since the terror attacks on New York City and Washington, DC, on September 11, 2001. During this time there has been a surprisingly varied and wide-ranging output of mainstream US movies that take either 9/11, or the consequential 'war on terror', as their primary context. We look at one such film in particular, the 2007 film The Kingdom, directed by Peter Berg. Set in S…
South Africa, the South Atlantic and the international politics of Antarctica
Existing analyses of South African foreign policy have neglected the geopolitical and legal dimensions of the Antarctic and South Atlantic. Emphasis will be placed on three aspects ‐ South Africa and the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS); the ongoing debates about a South Atlantic security pact in the 1960s and 1970s and the international condemnation of South Africa by the Developing World in the 1980s. The article concludes with a examination of fu…

South Africa and the Antarctic, 1920–1960
The South African state has never made a formal claim to the Antarctic continent. In the inter-war period, the South African government prepared a number of memorandums and discussion papers on the subject of a ‘South African sector in the Antarctic.’ This paper not only critically interprets those government papers, but, more importantly, assesses the reasons why South Africa never made a formal claim. It is suggested that relations with Britain…

Antarctica and the modern geographical imagination (1918–1960)
This paper examines how different technologies of exploration and mapping transformed human understanding of the Antarctic in the period 1918–1960. In the aftermath of the ‘heroic’ expeditions, European and American governments began to invest considerable monies in support of national expeditions for the purpose of claiming and mapping the polar continent. The collection of practical geographical information during the inter-war period was overt…

The geopolitics of regionalism
This paper is concerned with a recently formed regional organisation called the Group of Temperate Southern Hemispheric Countries on Environment (the Valdivia Group) and its attempts to devise common environmental strategies on a range of issues such as biodiversity, climate change and ozone depletion. It is suggested, however, that this organisation and other elements in the southern hemispheric regional agenda are problematic because of two ass…

Towards rapprochement? Anglo-Argentine relations and the Falklands/Malvinas in the late 1990s
This article argues that Britain and Argentina are now in a position to move towards unprecedented levels of political and economic cooperation concerning the governance of the Falklands and the surrounding seas. Since 1990, bilateral relations have been strengthened over issues such as fishing, oil and natural gas licensing communications and visits of the Argentine next-of-kin. It is argued that the Blair government has an opportunity not only …

Geopolitics, Patagonian Toothfish and living resource regulation in the Southern Ocean
This paper is concerned with the ongoing controversies regarding the over-harvesting of Patagonian Toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) in the Southern Ocean. After some thoughts on the varied geographies of this region, attention is then paid to the Convention for Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources. Thereafter, illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing of Patagonian Toothfish is considered in some detail because it forms the bas…
Putting maps in their place
This paper explores the political and scientific justification for the mapping of Antarctica by the Falkland Islands Dependency Survey (FIDS). As with the ‘Great Game’ of the nineteenth century, cartography was politics by another means. Thereafter, consideration is given to how the maps and surveys of Antarctica reflected British anxieties concerning Argentina in the immediate postwar world. As a rival claimant state in the South Atlantic, Argen…

A common space? The Falklands/Malvinas and the new geopolitics of the South Atlantic1
This article explores the possibility of developing a more progressive sense of place which recognises the mutual interdependence and interconnection of South America, the Falklands (Malvinas) and the South Atlantic rather than perpetuating exclusive identities and sovereignty. Since the 1982 South Atlantic conflict, there have been considerable improvements in Anglo‐Argentine relations resulting in a decade‐long period of South Atlantic co‐opera…
Back to the Future? Implementing the Anglo-Argentine 14th July 1999 Joint Statement
This article is concerned with the implementation of the Anglo-Argentine 14th July 1999 Joint Statement relating to the Falklands/Malvinas and the South West Atlantic. Initial consideration is given to the recent historical and political context of the Falklands/Malvinas dispute. The arrest of General Pinochet in London is shown to have been a significant factor in Anglo-Argentine relations during the period of 1998-1999. Thereafter, the backgrou…

Recent developments in relations between Argentina, Britain, and the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic
This note considers the recent developments in Anglo–Argentine relations vis-à-vis the overseas territories of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. The construction of the research station in South Georgia is considered significant because it signals the ending of the 19-year British military presence on the island. The Falkland Islands elections of November 2001 have shown that public opinion is still divided over the provisions of the Anglo-…
Screening Antarctica
This paper explores Ealing Studios' cinematic production about Robert Falcon Scott and the Terra Nova expedition, released to British audiences in 1948. Under the title of Scott of the Antarctic , the film recreated the tragic failure of the expedition on its return from the South Pole. The race to the South Pole had ended with victory for Roald Amundsen and post-colonial Norway. Three decades later, Britain again found itself involved in an inte…
