The Division of Fish and Wildlife’s policies have not reassured factions who oppose their tools, namely hunting, despite being informed by science. This study applies qualitative content analysis to 43 policy documents to understand how actors pursue policy objectives, and how they are shaped. I find that actors pursue their policy objectives by making hybrid arguments that, in addition to science, involve history, values, and institutional power. Thus, they make scientific claims—or claims to what the science might mean—that are incompatible with each other. This study identifies four ways in which this occurs: science gets framed, science gets applied to certain ends, science gets weaponized, and science gets minimized. Comprehending the ways in which these factors supplement and frame science could reduce conflict, improve communication, and build consensus.","PeriodicalId":47939,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83543167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statues and memorials that have stood for decades are being removed. In particular, memorials associated with the Confederacy from the American Civil War are being addressed. The case of commemoration of Confederate General Robert E. Lee at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York, offers a unique perspective on the difficulties of untangling the many legacies of the Civil War that are commemorated in the American landscape. Lee was a graduate of the Academy, a Superintendent, and had a distinguished career as an Army officer, before joining the Confederacy. He became its most prominent and honored General. The evolution of Lee’s landscape commemoration at West Point parallels significant historical events in American society and within the Army over more than 150 years. An examination of this evolution in a broader geographical and historical context is warranted.","PeriodicalId":47939,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86491884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Like Aladdin’s lamp when gently rubbed, the genie is out, never to return to the world we knew before. While the author provides no explicit definition for the term “digital geographies,” it is commonly understood that digital geographies are produced using digital technologies that expand our prior understanding of the “real world,” and the cartographies and geographies thereof. Given the widening roles of social media as platforms for expression and influence, it seems quite worthwhile to explore how digital technologies are changing the way spatial representations of phenomena, both real and imagined, are displayed and used in contemporary society. This monograph follows in the footsteps of James Ash, Rob Kitchin, and Agnieszka Leszczynski’s edited volume on Digital Geographies, but rather than focusing on how digital technologies are transforming subfields of the discipline of geography, Jessica McLean examines the ways in which digital geographies contribute to larger themes reflecting the future of human society and planet Earth as a habitat for humans as well. Using primarily qualitative research methods, McLean provides separate chapters focusing on human rights and technology, digital rights and justice, indigenous peoples, changing climates and environments, greening and sustainability, the “digital Anthropocene,” feminism and digital spaces (with a special focus on the Australian context), and disability activism. Many of the chapters explore aspects of the “more-than-real,” a concept initially explored in the brief introduction to the monograph and interwoven through most of the chapters that follow. The book concludes with some broader thoughts about the more-than-real and its implications for our understanding of digital geographies. The author employed a variety of qualitative research methods to collect and analyze data about digital geographies, and how they are influencing lived experiences, transforming conversations and understandings of environments of populations. The author collected data through semistructured interviews, participant observation, content and discourse analysis of social media materials, and examination of digital archival material.

Whether for its ability to offer an alternative model of economic integration and cooperation—for the amount of fundings and financing mobilized—or for its open challenge to Western-led global governance institutions, BRI is now central in a wide array of academic disciplines, ranging from international relations via economics, law, public policy, to geography. The two books under review provide a critical and in-depth analysis of the BRI, particularly relevant for the readers of Geographical Review. Miller, senior Asia analyst at Gavekal Group, in the second edition of China’s Asian Dream published in 2019, assesses how China, with the BRI, attempts to regain centrality in the international order (Miller 2019). The second edition only slightly modifies the 2017 text by adding a short preface and including in the conclusion’s references to the Trump presidency and its position on China. The BRI focused, especially in the time frame analyzed by the author (2014–2015), on China’s quest for energy and natural resources. Whether securing access to energy and natural resources, or reducing geopolitical risks as in the case of the development of Gwadar and Kyaukphyu, energy plays a pivotal role in the BRI. The book, after offering a background to the BRI, moves the analysis to the focus of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on its western regions, in particular Xinjiang. The book is organized around Asian’s subregions and uncovers how the BRI is spreading in Central (chapter 2), South (chapter 5), and Southeast (chapter 3, 4, and 6) Asia. Miller connects the China’s “Go-West” policy with the rise of infrastructure financing as a key component of the international donor community where China is taking the lead. Chinese policy banks and stateowned enterprises are for the author the “real” actors behind the implementation of the BRI. The author skillfully combines interviews conducted during extensive travel in Asia, with insightful and rich geopolitical and geoeconomics observations. Local stories of people experiencing the materiality of Chinese power coupled with interviews with the Chinese expat community living in Asian countries shed light on the complexity of the BRI. Miller considers the BRI as the coronation of the economic resurgence of the country.

Existing bodies of literature on Appalachia and resilience provide useful frameworks for disecting how the community reacted to events as they occurred in the Spring of 2020. Interviews with community leaders document their experiences in the early stages of the pandemic. We conclude that an already frayed social safety net contributed to the crises; but local leaders were able to respond because of their strong community ties and years of local experience.

Attention to the concept of livelihood resilience specifically has grown in these sectors in order to improve households’ resilience to the impacts of climate change and other shocks. However, resilience is difficult to empirically measure and commonly-used approaches are top-down, expert-driven, and suffer from measurement-bias. To address these issues, in this paper we explore the contributions of geographers to this research, critique top-down objective measurements of resilience, highlight the benefits of employing subjective conceptualizations of resilience, and outline methods for measuring subjective resilience with participatory methods. By drawing from both objective and subjective methods of analysis we can expand upon the normative questions of “resilience of what, to what, and for whom” to include “resilience as defined and measured by whom” in future research and policy-making.","PeriodicalId":47939,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76225513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet rural communities, economies and landscapes are closely tied to global industries, migrant flows and markets, while simultaneously subject to nationalist economic policies and strategies. These articles are drawn from the 2019 International Geographical Union Commission on the Sustainability of Rural Systems Colloquium and examine the interplay between rural places and the competing narratives of globalization and nationalism. The studies come from Croatia, Belgium, Australia, the USA, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico, Italy and Spain. In each article, the authors seek to elucidate the nuanced ties between people and industries that are at once intensely local and simultaneously tied to regional and global processes. The articles challenge us to critically examine oversimplified messaging of highly complex systems and provide insights into processes of change at local scales across major global regions, highlighting the contemporary status of rural change through the lens of sustainability and set within current competing narratives of globalization and economic nationalism.","PeriodicalId":47939,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84048273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
