Militarising FDI
This paper examines the relationship between ecomodernism and imperialism via the case of Ireland. Long a site of dependency within the Atlantic economy, Ireland is fast becoming a strategic, infrastructural frontier linking the US and Europe in the context of emerging geopolitical competition over the supply chains and resources required for technological development, and the EU’s ‘twin transition.’ The paper explores how infrastructural develop…
Anticolonial Irish History
McVeigh and Rolston's Ireland, Colonialism and the Unfinished Revolution puts colonialism at the heart of Ireland's social and economic history, but also as essential to understanding modern Irish politics. The subjugation of Catholics in Northern Ireland was a consequence of the failure to end British control over the island and a perpetuation of ethnic rule characteristic of other white dominions. The incomplete reckoning with colonialism has s…

Ontology and integrative research on Global Environmental Change
On Schmitt and Space
This book represents the first comprehensive study of the influential German legal and political thinker Carl Schmitt’s spatial thought, offering the first systematic examination from a Geographic perspective of one of the most important political thinkers of the twentieth century. It charts the development of Schmitt’s spatial thinking from his early work on secularization and the emergence of the modern European state to his post war analysis o…
The question of space in Carl Schmitt
In this paper we present an analysis of the German legal and political theorist Carl Schmitt as a spatial thinker whose work contains many elements relevant to the concerns of political geography. In examining his fundamental concern with how to ground modern political order without theological foundation, we identify a conceptual matrix between space, political order and conflict that underpins his thought. Charting the development of his spatia…
After the Anthropocene
Crutzen and Stoermer's (2000) naming of the 'Anthropocene' has provoked lively debate across the physical and social sciences, but, while the term is gradually gaining acceptance as the signifier of the current geological epoch, it remains little more than a roughly defined place-holder for an era characterized by environmental and social uncertainty. The term invites deeper considerations of its meaning, significance, and consequences for though…
