Hate relationships involve repeated domestically concentrated hate-motivated targeting of Othered individuals and families with impacts akin to domestic abuse. We show these experiences not only involve immediate, embodied and enduring violence routed through material conditions and social relations, but also incorporate less obvious experiences of violence through longer lasting effects and prospects of harm in a context where hate relationshipss are institutionally misrecognised and minimised. To make sense of these dynamics we propose that, together, the concepts of geotrauma and haunting allow us to better appreciate these space-times. We consider haunting to emphasise how non-linear time is experienced through situations, materialities and emotions where trauma as a deeply affecting social, spatial and psychological condition manifests. To do this we draw upon anonymised and redacted case notes across two years from a North East based advocacy organisation who work with those victimised by multiple and intersecting forms of hate. We organise our reflections by arguing that hate relationships are experienced as (a) a tangible and enduring presence (b) a seemingly absent presence and (c) a presence that looms. This provides a view of hate which includes, but also goes beyond, discrete and explicitly violent incidents with implications for identification and response.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12497,"journal":{"name":"Geoforum","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 104274"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143791951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Energy transition is often characterized as a particularly important resilience strategy for lower-income states in the Global South, which face the simultaneous challenges of decarbonization and development. Yet these states, many of which have fossil fuel resources, face distinct constraints and risks in navigating energy transition, including the possibility that promised funding for low-carbon energy projects will never come to fruition or that global decarbonization will be deferred or abandoned completely. This article uses the case study of Namibia to challenge linear, universalizing, and unambiguous narratives of low-carbon resilience, a term I reconceptualize here to refer to the variant, situated, and political relationships between energy transition and resilience. Specifically, I examine how and why the Namibian government has developed a seemingly paradoxical strategy for low-carbon resilience, which leverages new oil extraction to fund the country’s low-carbon industrial development via green hydrogen. Drawing on qualitative analysis over three years, I argue that, far from paradoxical, Namibia’s 'hedging' strategy is a pragmatic response to the structural constraints faced by lower-income, resource-rich Global South states. Yet despite its design as a hedge against multi-faceted and multi-scalar risks, I contend that Namibia's attempt to 'play both sides' of energy transition is likely to ultimately undermine its goal of resilience by compounding existing socio-economic and structural challenges. I conclude by discussing the implications of these findings for the pursuit of equitable decarbonization and development in an unequal world.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12497,"journal":{"name":"Geoforum","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 104267"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143746745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is in this context that the rewilding of European uplands is being employed as a strategy to revalorise lands rendered marginal by the confluence of increasingly neoliberal agrarian systems and expanding conservation regimes. This paper aligns with a growing seam of research that seeks to develop a political ecology of Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC), offering a productive and critical corrective to the technical rendering of farming practices and strategies in much of the conservation science literature. However, we argue that beyond revealing the political-economic conditions which generate the material realities of livestock predation, a political ecology of HWC should also demonstrate how these conditions are generative of particular emotive and political responses of environmental subjects. We present case studies from Skye in Scotland and Somiedo in Spain, that demonstrate how political-economic transitions to a post-productivist countryside shape material vulnerability to predation, and in doing so draw strong emotional responses from farmers whose subjectivities are constructed through practice-based, everyday, and embodied engagements with landscapes. Drawing on agrarian studies, critical conservation studies, and relational and feminist approaches to subjectivity, our work argues that a political ecology of livestock predation must account for how agrarian change is both shaping farming practices and farmer’s exposure to predations, and the personal, sociocultural and emotive responses of farmers to carnivore presence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12497,"journal":{"name":"Geoforum","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 104271"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143738983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The term perpetuates social selectivity by favoring affluent farmers in India’s agri-commodity markets. An ethnography of “progressive farmers” in the Flue-Cured Virginia (FCV) tobacco sector in Andhra Pradesh shows that such socialization is only partially successful. Ambiguous terms like “scientific temperament” and “the will to improvise,” associated with “progressive” and “good” farmers, obscure the fallout of modernization efforts aimed at integrating farmers into global markets. Within the FCV tobacco sector, domestic companies’ persistent use of “progressive farmer” masks how market restructuring and state actions have increasingly burdened farmers with the demand for “high-quality” standardized tobacco. For now, progressive farming is a performance that state and corporate sector authorities engage in to maintain authority and build cordial relations with powerful actors in the countryside. Affluent farmers perform progressiveness to hedge risks in erratic markets, bypass traditional clientelist networks, and garner favor. As the state withdraws from market regulation, “progressive farming” empowers affluent farmers to navigate erratic markets while sidelining smaller farmers, who are left to make high-risk investments without sufficient support.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12497,"journal":{"name":"Geoforum","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 104265"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143735286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 2013 Bolivian <em>Socialización</em> Law, a post-neoliberal participatory framework, mandates that infrastructure project design and implementation involve participation of all ‘organized civil society actors’, including Indigenous groups, labor unions, and other social movements. Here we examine labor union participation in waterway modernization through a case study of the new Ichilo-Mamoré waterway ’Stretch 1’ (<em>Tramo I</em>) in the Bolivian Amazon, which borders the municipality of Santa Ana del Yacuma, where the Regional Labor Central (COR-SAY) has expanded its support base and political relevance since 2017 with MAS party support. The <em>socialización</em> process yielded partial victories for labor unions, with the inclusion of a labor-formulated Municipal Port Terminal in the national waterway program and recognition of COR-SAY as the local representative in infrastructure projects. The port terminal integrated expert and local knowledge, though COR-SAY’s new role diminished the influence of Indigenous organizations. Despite these labor gains, the article reveals constraints in achieving deeper democratic change through infrastructure program participation. This stems from the State’s focus on managed consensus-building, which contrasts with labor unions view of <em>socialización</em> as a means to advance sectoral demands through infrastructure development. Thus, in Bolivia’s post-neoliberal context, consensus over infrastructure projects—potentially harmful to Indigenous livelihoods—generates new struggles for socio-economic progress.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12497,"journal":{"name":"Geoforum","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 104270"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143687969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
