In this southernmost territory -disconnected energetically and territorially from mainland Chile-export-oriented megaprojects advance despite growing global skepticism about the sector's viability. Studying this yet underexplored case and employing an adapted “5Es” framework, the article captures the speculative, multidimensional, and contested political geographies surrounding this energy vector, offering empirical and theoretical contributions to debates on green hydrogen and new resource frontiers. The framework reveals mutually reinforcing processes where multilevel and transnational coalitions drive regional reconfigurations through technical projections and evolving governance arrangements. The analysis shows how, even amid profound uncertainties about their materialization, the green hydrogen hype is reshaping regional dynamics: enabling new forms of wind, land, coast, and maritime appropriation; exposing power asymmetries where scientific networks challenge environmental assessments; and intensifying debates about regional development trajectories. Magallanes' particular characteristics—history as a “productive colony,” territorial isolation, and critical biodiversity corridors—generate particular tensions, while also comparable lessons for other peripheral regions. Understanding site-specific dynamics during the speculative window—the critical period between hype and materialization or failure—proves crucial for regions seeking to reconcile global climate goals with territorial justice and ecological integrity. The case illustrates how emerging hydrogen pathways remain contested, unsettled and fundamentally open, a condition reinforced by the sector's current loss of momentum.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 103498"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146038164","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}

Drawing on qualitative analysis of leading grassroots geopoliticians’ content, elite interviews, audience engagement, and additional qualitative materials, we show how new discursive actors naturalize spatial understandings of international politics, recast friend/enemy distinctions, and articulate criticism of incumbent elites amid the crisis of the liberal security order. We also analyze how epistemic elites responded to their declining authority and how audiences embraced alternative geopolitical interpretations. Our findings demonstrate that grassroots geopolitics has become a significant channel for right-wing populist mobilization, that it moved beyond what any segment of the political elite could openly endorse, and that it amplified the divide between elites and “the people” over the foundations of foreign policy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103475"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145796918","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 is partly due to a lack of attention to within-country disparities, as existing studies overwhelmingly focus on international rather than sub-national aid allocation. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the provincial distribution of multilateral climate adaptation projects in the Philippines, a country highly exposed to natural hazards, using a novel panel dataset that integrates geo-coded adaptation projects with multiple climate risk indicators. In addition to disaggregating adaptation aid spatially, the analysis contributes methodologically by developing a comprehensive measurement strategy for different dimensions of climate risk that separately accounts for natural hazard exposure, adaptive capacity, sensitivity, and realized disaster impacts. Our findings indicate that neither hazard exposure nor limited adaptive capacity or sensitivity consistently predict aid distribution. Instead, recent hazard impacts, specifically cyclone-related fatalities, emerge as the primary determinant. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that sub-national political dynamics and patterns of political alignment play a significant role in determining the distribution of adaptation projects across provinces. These results point to a predominantly reactive, rather than preventive, approach to adaptation funding at the sub-national level, highlighting the urgent need for more transparent, strategically targeted, and depoliticized aid allocation mechanisms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103450"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145747757","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}

It identifies three fundamental characteristics of this historical state project—direct ownership/participation, financial and pricing incentives, and oil spill research—and traces their usage over time, including through the subsequent period of neoliberalization. It concludes by suggesting that the federal government's new vision for resource extraction and transportation represents the revival of a“frontier-making state project” that hybridizes an older style of government involvement with more recent aspects of neoliberalization. Building on Jessop's theoretical work and the historical example of the former state project, it also highlights the potential for conflict over and even failure of such a project in the context of intersecting pressures and contingencies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103470"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145693638","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}

However, due to a mixture of patchy national-level data that has been provided by the parties themselves, and a focus by scholars on members rather than branches, we know little about the geography of party structures on the ground. In this article, we address these issues by using an unobtrusive method – consulting historical phonebooks – to determine exactly where parties invested in local branches in Italy and Sweden in the second half of the twentieth century. We theorize that the extent to which parties were present uniformly across a national territory depended on the degree to which politics was nationalized in that country. Using spatial lag regressions, we find strong support for our argument: in the less nationalized case of Italy, parties’ investments in local branches followed two major geographically-based cleavages – center vs periphery, and urban vs rural – while in the more nationalized Sweden, they were relatively uniform across different types of geographical areas. Overall, our findings illustrate how the extent to which you saw the rise and fall of the party on the ground in the second half of the twentieth century depended on where you were. Our research thus shines new light on the history of the party on the ground, in addition to underscoring the value of “bringing territory in” to the study of party organization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103467"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145693765","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}

However, the efforts of animal rights activists to expand their political alliances with subaltern and colonised others are laden with tensions, stemming from the oppression and violence of settler-colonial projects. The steps that progressive non-Indigenous activists can take to support alliances with colonised others are therefore unclear. In this article, we contend that Indigenous activists' perspectives offer critical insights into the development of alliances between Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists towards linked human and animal rights in settler-colonial states. Drawing on an ethnography with Indigenous activists in Occupied Palestine (pre-October 7), we show that the conditions for alliance-building exceed the rejection of racialised settler colonialism. They also require commitments by non-Indigenous activists towards Indigenous grassroots movements encompassing the diverse political agendas and heterogeneity of Indigenous societies. Beyond the hegemony of Israeli occupation, Palestinian activists seek alliances that centre community and youth development, and self-determination as key dimensions of linked animal and human rights. These priorities unsettle the Western strictures of animal rights anchored in veganism as the sole political concern of Palestinian activists. Questioning the efficacy of inflexible moral and ethical frameworks as platforms for alliance-building, we instead locate alliances for linked animal and human rights within a politics of listening anchored in settler-colonial discomfort, the labour of yielding to Indigenous priorities and remaining open to contingent, ‘on the ground’ politics. In so doing, we show that activist ethnography can reveal complex postcolonial engagements with the political, and the plural and hybrid human and animal activisms that these geographies give rise to.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103472"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145747759","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 details our Kafkaesque experiences attempting to obtain and analyze data on police use of force in Florida, a jurisdiction that legally mandates its public release. Building on scholarship on data justice and policing, we develop a minor critique of police statistics and data collection practices. By minor critique, we mean a critique from a minority perspective of majoritarian institutions. Drawing upon Kafka's minor critique of bureaucratic and legal institutions, and Deleuze and Guattari's theorization of minor literature, we emphasize three aspects of the minor approach. First, minority experience is marginalized by the dominant language of police statistics (deterritorialization of language); second, from a minoritarian position, all police interactions are political (connection of the individual to the political); third, reasserting minority knowledge requires interpreting collective experience through individual interactions (collective utterance). Comparing Florida law enforcement data with the activist-compiled Mapping Police Violence database, we identify major flaws within both datasets. Given the systemic erasure of police violence in official statistics, we argue that it remains indispensable to build community and consciousness around individual stories, contest the obfuscations of police policies, and demand another regime of transparency as both possible and necessary. Ultimately, the limitations of statistical data make the politicization of individual incidents of police brutality necessary.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103468"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145693639","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}
