State–Corporate Crime and Southern Criminology: Towards a Colonial Regime of Permission
In recent analyses of state–corporate crime, a number of scholars have underlined the need to reintroduce a more complex understanding of the state. The shift in understanding proposed in this body of work represents a displacement of the focus from the “moment of rupture” towards a more comprehensive role of the state in which we can capture its enabling role. Developing this perspective, the paper analyses Spanish company Repsol’s oil spill on …
Ecocide in Peru: Repsol and the colonial regime of permission
Stop Ecocide’s proposal to criminalize ecocide under the International Criminal Court relies on states’ capacity to punish offenders, often focusing narrowly on immediate ecological harm rather than structural causes. Recent scholarship highlights the state’s infrastructural role in enabling environmental crime through legal and economic frameworks facilitating capital accumulation. This paper examines the 2022 Repsol oil spill in Peru as a case …
Income Inequality, Gender Disparities, and Ethnic Differences: Investigating Allostatic Load in American Adults
The permanent state of exception in the southern periphery of Europe
The permanent crisis in the southern periphery of Europe has been deep socially, politically and economically. In order to contain it the sovereign power has shown all its majesty. The state of exception has been the mechanism deployed to introduce the political decision within the legal framework. Departing from Agamben’s understanding of this mechanism of power, the paper directs its attention to several dimensions in Portugal, Italy, Greece an…
The Social Reproduction Crisis During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Barcelona: Potentialities and Limitations
The outbreak of the social pandemic brought to the foreground the crisis of social reproduction afflicting our societies. However, this new visibility of the importance of care work and the emergence of mutual support networks was not a sufficient condition for the politicization of the reproductive sphere to take place, contrary to what happened during the 2008 crisis. This paper aims to comprehend the reasons why such politicization did not occ…
Sanitizing a crisis: The three dimensions of an enhanced regime of accumulation
In many western countries the Covid crisis has evolved from a public health crisis toward an economic crisis. Spain was no exception. Crises are always key moments in the reconfiguration of the role of the state, as this takes on new domains and functions. Conceiving state's role as a triad helps us understanding its functioning. From the initial stage, state work has been intense in order to mitigate its effects. But the Spanish particularity is…
Spain Must be Defended: Explaining the Criminalization of Political Dissent in Catalonia
This paper asks how we can explain the remarkable punitive turn against the political opponents of a liberal democratic state in twenty-first-century Europe. It uses Michel Foucault's analysis as a point of departure for understanding how the form of state power witnessed in Catalonia is entirely consistent with a Westphalian fixation with the indissoluble unity of statehood. Moreover, we identify a classic dual strategy of criminalization and de…
Postfascism in Spain: The Struggle for Catalonia
The thousands of Spanish National Police and Guardia Civil sent to Barcelona in order to prevent the referendum legislated by the Catalan Parliament on 6 and 7 September 2017 raised major questions about the fragility of Spanish democracy. The subsequent display of police violence on 1 October and the imprisonment and criminalisation of political opponents for the archaic offences of 'rebellion' and 'sedition' looked even less 'democratic'. Indee…
State-Corporate Crime and the Process of Capital Accumulation: Mapping a Global Regime of Permission from Galicia to Morecambe Bay
This paper seeks to develop the principal concerns of the state-corporate crime literature by drawing connections between two incidents that occurred 15 months apart: the sinking of the oil tanker the Prestige in Galicia in November 2002 and the killing of 24 Chinese migrant workers at Morecambe Bay in the North West of England in February 2004. It begins by introducing the key features of the two cases, before exploring how they might be describ…
