Nevertheless, research seems to have a limited impact on urban policies addressing mobility. Using Santiago de Chile as a case study, the paper discusses the existing gaps between research on mobility-related equity concerns and existing policies and plans addressing urban mobility operating at national, metropolitan and municipal scales. An equity-based comparison is performed for different spatial planning instruments, exploring guiding concepts and deriving proposals through content analysis. The findings show that there is a comprehensive and multidisciplinary body of literature in Santiago on mobility and equity, approaching several dimensions of mobility, accessibility and social exclusion in relation to different population groups. However, the series of discourses, norms and actions (policies and programmes) operating at different planning scales lack coherence and address only some of the dimensions identified in the literature. Current plans and policies in Santiago have a limited scope and are difficult to modify, questioning their effectiveness for understanding and tackling mobility-related equity concerns.摘要可达性规划: 促进公平流动性研究和政策之间的差距。Area Development and Policy. 规划研究和实践正在日益增加对于与流动性相关的社会不平等问题的关注。然而, 研究似乎对解决流动性问题的城市政策影响有限。本文以智利圣地亚哥为例, 探讨了与流动性相关的公平问题研究与在在国家、大城市和市镇范围内解决城市流动性问题的现有政策和计划之间存在的差距, 对不同的空间规划工具进行了公平比较, 从而探索指导概念并通过内容分析得出建议。研究结果表明, 圣地亚哥在流动性和公平性上有一套全面、多学科的文献, 涉及到不同人口群体的流动性、可及性和社会排斥的几个维度。但是, 在不同规划规模下运作的一系列话语、规范和行动 (包括政策和计划) 仅涉及文献中确定的一些维度, 缺乏连贯性。圣地亚哥现有的计划和政策范围有限, 很难修改, 这对其理解和解决与流动性相关的公平问题的有效性提出了质疑。RESUMENPlanificar para la accesibilidad: brechas entre investigación y políticas para la promoción de una movilidad equitativa.

The geopolitical entanglements of the US in Afghanistan, such as weaponising and demarcating gender roles and relations for geopolitical purposes and the ineffectiveness of revenge as a driver of intervention, are identified as other aspects of US failures that require further scrutiny. Additionally, distance and detachment were endemic to the quantitative assessments, such as sorting combatants from civilians or applying the military principle of proportionality, and the subsequent faulty identification of, and decisions to kill, civilians incorrectly suspected of insurgent activity.摘要距离,分离与分裂: 对《午夜的受害者》文章的回应。Area Development and Policy. 本文是对德里克·格雷戈里 (Derek Gregory) 的文章《午夜的受害者》 (Midnight’s Victims) 的回应, 关注的是平凡和日常, 目的是解决美国在近20年的占领过程中, 通过距离和分离的基本做法, 不断误读和误解日常活动的方式。美国在阿富汗的地缘政治纠葛, 如出于地缘政治目的将性别角色和关系武器化和划界, 以及作为干预驱动因素的报复无效, 被认为是美国失败的其他方面, 需要进一步审查。此外, 距离和分离对于定量评估来讲是具有地方性的特有现象, 例如将战士与平民区分开来或应用军事比例原则, 以及随后错误地识别和决定杀害被错误怀疑有叛乱活动的平民。RESUMENDistanciamiento, desapego y división: una respuesta a ‘Víctimas de Medianoche’. Area Development and Policy. Esta respuesta al ensayo de Derek Gregory ‘Víctimas de medianoche’ se centra en la cotidianidad y el día a día con la finalidad de abordar de qué modo Estados Unidos continuamente malinterpretó y malentendió las actividades cotidianas y diarias mediante prácticas fundamentales de distanciamiento y desapego durante los casi 20 años de ocupación. Se identifican los escollos geopolíticos de Estados Unidos en Afganistán, tales como la militarización y demarcación de los roles y las relaciones de género para propósitos geopolíticos, y la ineficacia de la venganza como desencadenante de la intervención, como otros aspectos de los fallos de Estados Unidos que precisan de un escrutinio adicional. Además, el distanciamiento y el desapego eran endémicos en las evaluaciones cuantitativas, tales como distinguir a los combatientes de los civiles o aplicar el principio militar de proporcionalidad, y la posterior identificación errónea de civiles acusados incorrectamente de actividades insurgentes, y la decisión de asesinarlos.АННОТАЦИЯДистанцирование, отстраненность и разделение: реакция на «Жертв полуночи».

The discourse exists not because Chinese behaviour aligns with scholarly understandings of colonialism or neocolonialism, but as a rhetorical device to discredit China as the US’s ‘strategic rival’. In this paper we show that China does not practice colonialism or neocolonialism and examine the question of how China’s activities fit into modes of globalised capital accumulation abroad. We argue that China’s mode overlaps, but is also distinct from, the East Asian developmental states’ approach. It is even more dissimilar to the US’s archetypal neoliberalism. Two areas in which China most diverges are its deployment of state-owned enterprises and Communist Party of China leadership, and the concomitant alignment of Chinese firms overseas with home and host-state policies. In analysing Chinese capital accumulation abroad, we adumbrate a Chinese mode that reflects ‘two semis’: China’s semi-peripheral status and its semi-neoliberalism.摘要中国、殖民主义、新殖民主义与全球化积累模式. Area Development and Policy. 中国是超级的资本积累国, 这一说法是所谓中国殖民主义或新殖民主义论调的一部分。 这种论调并不名副其实, 而是作为一种修辞手段, 用来诋毁美国的’战略对手’。本文表明中国并没有实行殖民主义或新殖民主义, 并探讨了如何在全球化资本积累格局中评估中国的海外资本积累。 我们认为, 中国的模式与东亚发展型国家的模式既有重叠, 又有区别。 与美国典型的新自由主义更是大相径庭。 中国最不同的两个方面是其对国有企业 (SOE) 的部署和中国共产党 (CPC) 的领导, 以及海外中资公司与中国和投资国的发展政策保持一致性。 在分析中国的海外资本积累时, 我们归纳出中国模式的两个特点:中国的半边缘性和半新自由主义。RESUMENChina, colonialismo, neocolonialismo y métodos globalizados de acumulación. Area Development and Policy. Una parte del discurso de China como colonialista o neo-colonialista es la idea de calificar el país como el acumulador supremo de capital extranjero. El discurso existe no porque el comportamiento de China corresponda con el concepto académico del colonialismo o neocolonialismo, sino como un recurso retórico para desacreditar a China como el ‘rival estratégico’ de Estados Unidos. En este artículo mostramos que China no practica el colonialismo o neocolonialismo y analizamos cómo encajan las actividades de China en los métodos de acumulación de capital globalizado en el extranjero. Argumentamos que el modo de China coincide pero también se distingue del enfoque de los Estados en desarrollo de Asia oriental. Es incluso más diferente que el neoliberalismo arquetípico de los Estados Unidos. Los dos campos en los que China presenta más diferencias son el desarrollo de empresas de propiedad estatal y el liderazgo del Partido Comunista de China, y el alineamiento concomitante de las empresas chinas en el extranjero con políticas estatales de origen y de acogida. Al analizar la acumulación de capital de China en el extranjero, destacamos el método de China que refleja ‘dos mitades’: el estado semiperiférico de China y su semineoliberalismo.АННОТАЦИЯКитай, колониализм, неоколониализм и глобализированные способы накопления.

Consideraciones sobre “Víctimas de Medianoche” de Derek Gregory. Area Development and Policy. Partiendo del análisis de Derek Gregory sobre el mortífero ataque bien documentado de Estados Unidos con drones en 2010 en Afganistán y el ataque a Zamarai Ahmadi en Kabul el 28 de agosto de 2021, y sus importantes cuestiones sobre cómo se conceptualizan los ataques como algo excepcional, y de qué modo los justifica el ejército estadounidense, en este artículo se presta atención a la relación entre la norma y la excepción, y el efecto que tiene la interacción entre las dos para producir y justificar la violencia. En concreto, se argumenta que esto se extiende más allá del contexto de los ataques y combates con drones, e incluye también las prácticas de la violencia estatal fuera del campo de batalla.АННОТАЦИЯУдары беспилотников и пространства исключений.

Начиная с анализа Дереком Грегори хорошо задокументированного и смертоносного удара американского беспилотника в Афганистане в 2010 году и удара 28 августа 2021 года по Замараю Ахмади в Кабуле, а также поставленных им важных вопросов о том, как удары концептуализируются как исключительные и как они оправдываются американскими военными, этот комментарий фокусируется на взаимосвязи между нормой и исключением, а также на том, как взаимодействие между ними порождает и оправдывает насилие. В частности, утверждается, что это выходит за рамки ударов беспилотников и военных действий и распространяется на практику государственного насилия за пределами поля боя.KEYWORDS: drone strikesAfghanistanUS foreign policystate violenceracism关键词: 无人机袭击阿富汗美国外交政策国家暴力种族主义Palabras clave: ataques con dronesAfganistánpolítica exterior de los Estados Unidosviolencia estatalracismoКлючевые слова: Удары беспилотниковАфганистанвнешняя политика Соединенных Штатовгосударственное насилиерасизм DISCLOSURE STATEMENTNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.","PeriodicalId":31513,"journal":{"name":"Area Development and Policy","volume":"16 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135814062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

La performatividad de la marca urbana en el caso de Songdo (Corea del Sur). Area Development and Policy. La marca urbana construida socialmente no solo revisa la identidad y la estructura de una ciudad sino que también influye en la legislación, la planificación y la movilidad política. A fin de superar la estrecha visión del debate existente en cuanto a si Songdo es una ciudad inteligente o no, se adopta un enfoque performativo, poniendo énfasis en el impacto de una serie de eslóganes de marca urbana y la imagen simbólica y discursiva de Songdo en la evolución de los procesos políticos del desarrollo de la ciudad y la movilidad del modelo urbano dentro y fuera del país. Al examinar las relaciones circulares entre los discursos, la planificación y las movilidades políticas, este estudio supone una aportación a las discusiones académicas y prácticas de fundamentos y políticas de desarrollo.AHHOTAЦИЯКак название формирует место? Перформативность городского брендинга на примере Сонгдо, Южная Корея. Area Development and Policy. Социально сконструированный городской брендинг не только переосмысливает идентичность и структуру города, но и влияет на законодательство, планирование и политическую мобильность. Чтобы преодолеть узкий взгляд на существующие дебаты о том, является ли Сонгдо умным городом или нет, применяется перформативный подход, фокусирующийся на влиянии последовательности слоганов городского брендинга, символического и дискурсивного изображения Сонгдо на эволюцию политических процессов городского развития и мобильность городской модели внутри страны и за ее пределами. Исследуя циклические связи между дискурсами, планированием и возможностями политики, это исследование вносит свой вклад в академические и практические обсуждения обоснований и политики развития.KEYWORDS: performativityurban brandingSongdoSouth Koreasmart citypolicy mobilitiesJEL: O20O44R58关键词: 述行性城市品牌松岛韩国智慧城市政策流动性PALABRAS CLAVE: performatividadmarca urbanaSongdoCorea del Surci","PeriodicalId":31513,"journal":{"name":"Area Development and Policy","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136098672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The target was identified as an Islamic State–Khorosan (ISIS-K) cell preparing to attack Hamid Karzai International Airport while the United States and its allies conducted a large-scale non-combatant evacuation and the Taliban advanced into the capital. Although the strike was the culmination of intensive aerial surveillance, it killed only innocent civilians. In comparing the official account of events provided by the Pentagon to explain the catastrophic mistake with an alternative narrative established by investigative reporters, it becomes clear that the strike was prompted by a performative series of assumptions and inferences that fastened on every observed action as suspicious and ultimately hostile. A further comparison with a US airstrike in Uruzgan on 21 February 2010 shows that this chain of misinterpretation and miscalculation has been a constant in civilian casualty incidents for many years. This prompts a series of reflections on the architecture of aerial violence and its implications for civilians caught up in the battlespaces of later modern war.","PeriodicalId":31513,"journal":{"name":"Area Development and Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42411207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
