This exciting book levers open a space for a politics that
regards space as a living thing rather than a dead backdrop. In
doing so, it challenges a whole series of preconceptions about what
politics is or might be, and begins to formulate means of eating
away at the foundations of concepts like globalization that so
often are used by the powerful to peddle one world fits all
solutions.” Professor Nigel Thrift, University of
Bristol
"The book sets out to be an intervention in, and make a
contribution to, a growing literature on questions of scale,
rescaling, and politics of scale [...] this book is a welcome
addition to what remains a very fertile and promising debate"
Erik Swyngedouw, Environment and Planning
“Herod and Wright’s book is well organized and
coherent … [Geographies of Power: Placing Scale]
provides a useful overview of the new conceptualizations of
geographical scale that are being developed by radical
geographers.”
