Bridging recent geographic scholarship on state capitalism and critical migration studies, this article examines how Jordan is reconfigured as fertile terrain for EU financial investment and securitization. Focusing on European Investment Bank and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development's renewable energy investments in Jordan, I analyze how new configurations of state capitalism materialize from the household, to the national exchequer, to the export terminal. I argue that refining our understanding of the state as an evolving, interconnected configuration reveals new constellations of power that materialize through the seams of transnational energy transitions. EU intervention generates new pathways of financial mobility, enacting a particular vision of energy security that prioritizes the movement of capital and electricity, while containing and constraining the movement of displaced populations across the Mediterranean. For political geographies of global energy transition, this article makes the case to take not as given the power of particular political-economic configurations, but to question how investors, hosts, and households advance particular political visions, practices, and projects, to reveal the seams through which social and political orders might be reconfigured.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103465"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145624377","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}

From the ontological position offered by the turn to ontology regions are coextensive with the practices that enact them, and if there are practices that enact different versions of a region, then the region itself is multiple—more than one, but less than many. By emphasizing the exclusions, distributions, and coordination of the spatially and temporally situated practices that enact the region multiple the ontological politics of regions are made amenable for analysis. Empirically, I focus on the case of the Arctic region. In the context of multilateral Arctic cooperation, I show how the spatiality of the region is enacted through cooperative practices, and how distribution enables the coexistence of otherwise mutually exclusive practices. By drawing on an analysis of Finland's Arctic strategy, I further discuss the process of coordination in which different versions of the Arctic are made to cohere in policy practices. Finally, I analyze the effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and discuss whether it propels the militarization of the Arctic, which here refers to the ontological politics of singularization in which the multiplicity of the Arctic is challenged by military security. I conclude by calling for further attention to be placed on the political geographies of enacted geographical entities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103460"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145579899","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}

Following Glasius, I understand authoritarianism as a set of practices that sabotage accountability and disable access to information and voice. Civil society actors and residents have long appealed to the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand (NHRCT) to press for accountability. However, Thailand's 2014 coup and subsequent military rule restricted the NHRCT's capacity to conduct incisive investigations into human rights violations. Drawing on empirical fieldwork, I examine the state-led Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed Yuam River water diversion in Northwest Thailand. The NHRCT is investigating affected residents' claims that the EIA lacked meaningful participation. Alongside diminishing political space under military rule, I show how a series of legislative, constitutional, and policy changes curtailed civil society participation in NHRCT investigations. In this way, authoritarianism not only erodes civil and political rights, but the organisations designed to protect those rights and hold state and corporate actors accountable. Nevertheless, civil society actors and residents continue to appeal to the NHRCT in struggles over rights and resources, alongside diverse strategies including counter-knowledge production. In this case, the NHRCT investigation strategically delayed development and enabled residents to demand accountability from state actors in ways that were occluded during the EIA. This paper shows how struggles against authoritarianism are at once struggles for accountability, access to information, and inclusion in development decision-making.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103478"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146037502","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 contribution connects with challenges faced by the trade union movement and ongoing academic commentary across labour geography and industrial relations more broadly. In doing so, we combine literature around worker organising margins and trade union orientations to shape our approach. Empirically, the paper draws upon two examples of worker organising at the margins; the Indian Workers Association (Great Britain) and Unemployed Workers’ Centres, arguing that their emergence in the 1970s and 1980s reflected an intersectional and dynamic spatial politics of labour organising. Through this analysis, and our use of collaborative historical geography methods, the paper argues that such organising at the margins illustrates how trade unions historically engaged beyond the workplace through matters of race, migration and unemployment. We illustrate how such an extension of trade union organising, beyond the workplace, shaped and contested more established trade union principles and grammars through a variety of uneven spaces, relations and practices. In doing so, we contribute to the theorising of spatial politics and resistance within and beyond the sub-discipline of labour geography.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103461"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145624376","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}

Yet, ‘mess’ can also open spaces for agency and resisting data borders. What do these ambiguities mean for the critical potential of diagnosing mess? Drawing on research we have conducted in border zones in France, Italy, Germany and Spain, we show that the critical potential of mess cannot be gauged through the binary of mess/order. We argue that we need to introduce a third term – control – to understand the critical potential of mess. To do so, we first unpack three dimensions of ‘mess’ – spatial, temporal and material – to situate it in relation to diagnoses of failure, friction, improvisation and non-knowledge in bordering practices. Second, we raise questions about the limits that the co-constitution of mess/order entails for critical research on data borders.

This paper develops the concept of restorative commoning, which we define as a bottom-up creative process in which communities envision and enact new futures for their landscapes in pursuit of collective thriving. We ground this concept in an ethnographic study of Langholm in Scotland, where local residents organised a landmark community buyout of private land, establishing the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve. Through interviews, participant observations, and transect walks, we analyse how residents engaged with restoration not just as an ecological project but as a social, political, and affective act, redefining relationships with place, community, and ecosystems. Our findings reveal how restorative commoning emerges from grassroots mobilisation, historical solidarity, and supportive policy frameworks, particularly land tenure reforms that enable collective ownership. The Langholm case demonstrates that such ownership acts as a catalyst, transforming reactive resistance into proactive reimagination of landscapes. Beyond ecological outcomes, the process nurtures civic revitalisation, challenging dominant paradigms of privatisation and expert-led restoration. We argue that restorative commoning shifts restoration from a return to past conditions to a forward-looking, collective process of socio-ecological change. The study highlights the need for policies that create enabling conditions for community-led restoration, emphasising the interdependence of ecosystem health and social well-being. By centering local agency, affective ties to place, and democratic governance, restorative commoning offers a pathway for more inclusive and sustainable approaches to landscape revitalisation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103471"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145747758","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}
