This study addresses the spatial pattern of pro-government mobilization, focusing on the daily incidence and geographical distribution of pro-war rallies in Russia from February to April 2022. Building on existing research, we conceptualize pro-government mobilization as a strategic decision by autocracies, serving as a signal to citizens and dissidents while incurring costs. We extend this framework to include a spatial dimension, arguing that pro-government mobilization serves as a visual signal on the ground, strategically initiated in locations where governments want to quell unrest. Likewise, due to mobilization costs and the potential risk of backlash, pro-regime rallies are expected to be more prevalent in larger cities and in areas where security forces possess a higher capacity for swift reaction. Leveraging data at the day-municipality level, we identify the locations for mobilizing regime support. Cox models reveal that locations with a history of anti-war protest have a higher risk of subsequently hosting pro-war rallies. This effect is particularly pronounced in smaller locations. Moreover, larger cities and locations with the military stationed nearby exhibit a higher chance for pro-war rallies. These findings offer new insights into a regime’s mobilization strategy as a tool of authoritarian governance during contentious periods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103336"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144166632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bringing together research on colonial population politics and the political science literature on the ‘migration state,’ we compare modes of migration management in three distinct cases of colonialism – settler colonialism in Algeria, protectorate colonialism in Egypt, and corporate colonialism in Saudi Arabia. We show that migration management in these three colonial spaces operated according to similar hierarchically-structured logics of economic <em>extraction</em> and legal-political <em>differentiation</em>. At the same time, these produced different local migration regimes based on variations in modalities of colonial rule, imperial economic interests, and pre-existing local institutions. Through a careful empirical exploration of migration and mobility practices in colonial peripheries, we contribute both to the global history of colonialism and empires, and to more recent work that rethinks the ‘migration state’ concept and its application to contexts across the Global South. We draw attention to the relationship between historical and contemporary forms of hierarchically structured regimes of mobility management, including the enduring importance of racial and religious categories as significant markers of differentiation in global migration, and suggest ways in which contemporary mobility regimes intersect with larger structures of economic extraction and socio-legal differentiation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103270"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144166631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on materialist state theory, we argue that a closer focus on selectivities of the state can better explain both the shifts towards an integration of formerly excluded demands and continuities in state selectivities favoring established accumulation strategies. We illustrate our argument through an analysis of the reform to Mexico's mining law. Backed by large sectors of society, representatives of the leftist government partly incorporated longstanding critique of large-scale mining into new or revised regulations. We view this reform as a magnifying glass that helps us examine changing power relations, showing how demands from actors that previously had little access to the state arena have been negotiated and how this shifted state selectivities in favor of anti-mining claims. By examining changes in Mexico's mining legislation, our study adds to the growing body of scholarship that analyzes the role of the state and left-wing governments in contested resource extraction from a historical-materialist perspective. Our contribution is both empirical and theoretical. Empirically, it examines the changing role of the state in extractivism within a country and geopolitical setting different from those studied in research on neo-extractivism in the 2000s. On the theoretical level, our analysis of a law and its reform uncovers power relations and struggles related to mining, as well as existing and shifting state selectivities. Our analysis thus informs theory-led empirical research on similar struggles overstate involvement and regulation in other Latin American countries, particularly in the context of changing geopolitics and increasing demand for minerals and metals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103348"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144146999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To gain insight into this paradox, we reviewed archival materials and conducted ethnographic field research into twenty stilt household's lived experiences. Literature and archival review uncovered historical land tenure reforms in Hong Kong which created categories of informality, which were manipulated to strategic ends. Colonial tenure reforms followed a Chinese lineage village model, supposedly to formalize customary tenure structures. Colonizing governments did not develop consistent water occupation policies, so tenure reform reinforced Chinese social structures which marginalized boat people. Water-dwelling Hong Kongese faced their own contingencies of colonial policy making that privileged or punished illegal land usage unevenly. In Tai O, transitional housing patterns over water were eventually given their own, ambiguous, pseudo-landed tenure category. In light of boat people's distinct history living in informality, this in-depth case study reveals and contextualizes the unique lifeways of boat people and their customary housing and spatial practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103355"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144130840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on the CBC planning process of the Northern Rangeland Trust (NRT) in northern Kenya's wildlife frontier to illustrate the political authority of the shadow state in planning CBC interventions through community conservancies, which have led to the territorialization and commodification of communal natural resources. It analyzes the social foundations and practices of the NRT Shadow State, its informal accommodations with local intermediaries, its violent territorialization and monopolization of benefits, and how these ultimately hinder the state's ability to implement community land reforms. The paper argues that a nearly exclusive shadow state strategy of mobilizing resources from donors and global conservation networks and reorganizing institutional frameworks for the governance of natural resources are the endemic features that enable the NRT to plan and expand community conservancies in communal rangelands in Kenya's northern wildlife frontier. This process fosters informal conservation territories and governance configurations that weaken communal resource management and promote exclusionary practices on the ground. The paper concludes by reflecting on the broader implications of shadow state power for community land reforms, arguing that this authority challenges regulatory agencies, limiting their ability to provide adequate oversight and enforcement of regulations for community land reforms in resource frontiers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103351"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144099471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article argues that ethnonationalist states’ central logic lies in the reproduction of racialized social forces and, as a result, it strategically buttresses and depletes social forces through the weaponization of social reproduction. Because ethnonationalist states aim to undermine social reproduction of subordinated ethnic groups, this manifests in intense violence directed at women. The article demonstrates this argument using data generated from qualitative time-use studies conducted in Myanmar and Sri Lanka—two ethnonationalist states characterized by violent ethnic cleavages, comparable variations in conflict geographies, and the political mobilization of Buddhism. It connects gender-based violence across the home-front and the warfront, revealing patriarchal violence as crucial to the project of war.

That has especially been true of scholarship employing methods of counterforensic documentation—methods turning the state's monopoly on forensic investigation of crimes towards the investigation of the state (cf. Weizman, 2017). The idea has been that manifestation and accompanying enumeration of violence and suffering would offer proof that border enforcement methods are violent, and that this documentation would compel a change to harmful policies. This goal has been stymied by how agencies charged with enforcing security deny their responsibility for death and injury, instead casting themselves as humanitarian saviors of border crossers at risk. In many ways, this palliates scholarly efforts where they appear in superficial consensus with these border agencies, even as the latter use this apparent consensus to deflect their own role in the violence that occurs. Mindful of these issues, this paper pioneers what we call a “geography of intent.” Plotting the geography of integrated fixed towers (IFTs)—border surveillance technology placed in remote wilderness settings—in relation to sources of safety and shelter, we reveal an intentional placement of this technology to deny access to the few life-saving resources in the dangerous wilderness zones into which migration has been intentionally corralled.
