Solar imaginaries: Territorial enclosures and renewable energy politics in Puglia
Disarticulations in Naples: Cultural political ecology, the green transition, and labour unrest at a Whirlpool factory
This article develops a cultural political ecology approach to disarticulations and labour unrest. The reference point for analysis is a struggle at a Whirlpool factory in Naples that the company announced would close in 2019, six months after signing an agreement with the Italian government, including a multi‐million investment plan. Despite experiencing continuous growth and having committed to keeping Italy as a strategic node of its EMEA prod…
An anti-geoeconomics of climate change
This essay develops a critique of emerging narratives on the geoeconomics of climate change. In recent years a growing policy agenda on climate change that can be listed under the rubric of geoeconomics has emerged in the literature. This scholarship is characterised by persistent imaginaries that articulate geopolitical fears and geoeconomic hopes over nature and society. The key argument mobilised in this discourse is that ecological shifts rai…

Overtime: The Cultural Political Economy of Illicit Labor in the Electronics Industry
This article investigates the relationship between overtime and corporate codes of conduct in the global electronics industry through a cultural political economy perspective. First, drawing on examples from China, it considers how the changing political economy of global production has contributed to the emergence of illicit overtime in the electronics industry. The article examines the endemic use of excessive working hours at the first-tier su…
Territories, politics and governance of the Covid-19 pandemic
As a major public health and socio-ecological crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic has raised significant challenges, arguably affecting the everyday life of most individuals on the planet. The pandemic has transformed social relationships within families, communities and nations, awakening a spirit of care and reciprocity as well as engendering new mechanisms of control and surveillance to confront the dialectic of life and death. This editorial introd…
Towards a cultural political economy of the illicit
This article intervenes in debates on the illicit in economic geography, notably in the tensions between cultural and political economic approaches. First, it assesses critiques of political economic evaluations of the illicit. It then offers a ‘trading zone’, drawing upon both cultural and political economy, and argues that the two economic epistemologies are complementary, not mutually exclusive. The article instates political and ecological mi…
Urban nomadism: Everyday mobilities of waste recyclers in Beijing
This paper investigates everyday mobilities through an account of the waste industry in Beijing. It suggests the analysis of livelihood strategies of waste traders as a productive domain of enquiry to foster our understanding of the connection between labour and mobility. Existing literature on China pays little attention to the everyday mobilities of marginal urban actors. Yet these practices tell an insightful story about the political, economi…
Variegated geographies of electronic waste: Policy mobility, heterogeneity and neoliberalism
© 2017, © 2017 Regional Studies Association. A source of political conflicts, recurrent scandals and considerable geopolitical problems, electronic waste (e-waste) is a central challenge for contemporary societies. Drawing on Polanyian economic geography, this article provides a comparative reading of the extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme in China and France and shows that e-waste policy in China is not a replication of global north m…
The enclosure of “waste land”: Rethinking informality and dispossession
The paper contributes to the recent geographical debates on the connection between dispossession and informality. Existing scholarship recognises that informality is an integral part of capitalism. Arguments reinforcing the formal–informal dichotomy dominate research on processes of dispossession. Drawing on analyses of the struggle of waste recyclers in Beijing, this paper conceptualises informal activities in relation to circuits of capital. It…
