Petropower in Law‐Enforcement Advertising at Super Bowl LIX
This paper examines a recruitment commercial from the Super Bowl on 9 February 2025 in terms of its spectacularisation of petroleum's abiding yet volatile influence. The minute‐long piece on behalf of federal law enforcement indicates how the workings of power in the United States of America are entangled with the ubiquity of oil extraction, transportation and consumption. It is concluded that such marketing is an expression of insecurities about…
Why the promise of green jobs has limited resonance: Industrial attachments in 'net zero' transitions
Green jobs’ (GJ) discourse circulates among climate policymakers and campaigners. • I show that the promise of green jobs has limited resonance for some communities. • It lacks resonance for people who are attached to traditional industries. • Repurposing people’s industrial attachments might sow the seeds of support for GJ. • This is important to achieve net zero transformations. ‘Green jobs’ discourse circulates with intensity among climate pol…
Fluid hope in a climate emergency: Lessons from an English citizens' jury
What does it mean to build an authentic politics of hope in a climate crisis? Researchers have explored this question by examining the emergence of different forms of climate hope. This includes urgent, slow, and radical hope, each of which expresses different promises for the future. In this paper, I make the case for attending to ‘fluid hope’ to foreground how different forms of climate hope can be co-constitutive and are subject to being re-co…
Re-attaching to coal in a Climate Emergency: The case of the Whitehaven mine
This paper draws on the concept of 'attachment' to examine pro-coal sentiment in Whitehaven - an English town at the centre of global political controversy because of a plan to open a coal mine in the area. Drawing on fieldwork data, I show that pro-mine persuasions among some residents are underpinned by a process of 're-attaching' to coal. I argue that the case of the Whitehaven mine is a warning about how fossil fuels might re-emerge as promis…
“A Claim to Be Heard”: Voices of Ordinary People in BBC Radio Features
The BBC radio feature, originally influenced by the documentary film movement, combined music and sound with speech that at first was scripted, later recorded on location, along with ‘actuality’. This paper will ask ‘whose speech?’ A memorandum from BBC Director General, John Reith, in 1924, had insisted that “only those who have a claim to be heard above their fellows on any particular subject... should be put on the programme”. Nevertheless, fr…
Aspirations and Realities in Africa: I. Five Reflections
Democratic pressures in Africa challenged autocracy at the end of the Cold War. Since then, there has been vigorous debate over the resilience of democracy in the region and the quality of democratic performance. The accompanying articles raise five important observations. First, democracy has become a normative value for the majority of African citizens. Second, political space has opened in a range of systems. Third, political actors have gaine…

Nigeria Votes: More Openness, More Conflict
Nigeria’s recent electoral season marked an important departure from the familiar trajectory of politics in that country. Departing from Nigeria’s history of flawed elections and oligarchic control, this most recent balloting offered a broadly credible and competitive exercise across most of the country. Yet the outcome of the presidential contest, though seemingly decisive in numerical terms, has also sharpened sectional tensions that could upse…

Private passion, public neglect: The cultural status of radio
Although radio is still the most important mass medium in many developing countries, in richer parts of the world visual media have come to dominate resource allocation, policy-making, academic study - and consequent media attention. This article notes the paradoxical effect of this vicious circle of neglect, in which radio is accorded little status in the public sphere yet is a significant element in the private lives of individual listeners.

Economic Reform and Political Transition in Africa The Quest for a Politics of Development
The 1980s were bracketed by crises in Africa, as protracted economic malaise was succeeded by a wave of political reform. Analysts have sought to understand the sources of economic decline as well as the political requisites for recovery in the region. Neoclassical and structuralist analyses have been challenged by state-centric views of economic change. The latter perspective emphasizes the need for capable developmental states as a basis for lo…
