The Expanding Spaces of Law

Mobility, empowerment and the rights revolution1
Activism and the Academy
We often use editorials to fulminate about the state of the world, and offer suggestions as to how to make it better. I am not comfortable with either of those options for the moment (though I have done my share of both in the past). Rather, I would like to worry away at what seems to be an unexplored bifurcation in my political-academic life and, I suspect, in the lives of others. Put crudely, my anxiety centres on the fact that we tell ourselve…
The New Geography of Consumer Spending
The Business of Mobility
Inspired by some important inter‐disciplinary work in both legal studies and human geography, I explore the vision of geography ‐ with special reference to the theorization of mobility ‐ that appears to be expressed within mainstream legal discourse. I argue that the legal account is premised on the privileging of certain components of liberal thought, including the individual, the private sphere, and concepts of frictionless spatial mobility. I …

Law, Theory, and Geography
The next two special issues of Urban Geography are devoted to law and geography, an emerging and important field of academic inquiry in the discipline. In this introduction, we consider the relationship between social science method as used by geographers and law as an institution. It is suggested that the common methodological suppositions of social science-foundationalism, functionalism, and reductionism-tend to limit the analysis of law in geo…
Federalism, Place, and the Regulation of Worker Safety
This paper, in exploring the geography of worker safety regulation, addresses a central question of state action, that of the appropriate locus of state intervention and legal interpretation. Should the power to make and define law be vested with a local community or with a centralized federal agency? Using two recent U.S. case law rulings concerning occupational safety and health law as examples, this analysis questions a central formalist assum…

Store Choice, Store Location and Market Analysis
Law and the Local State
This paper considers the complex interplay between ideologies of the law and of the state with reference to the enforcement of the Shops Act (1950) by one district council. The complex and contradictory manner of law, when mediated by a spatially-specific state apparatus, is explored. Emphasis is placed on the complex organizational nature of the state, the form that conflict over the actions of the state can take, and the charged and potentially…
