We do so by applying assemblage theory to scales, actors, materialities, and practices that have been under-considered in existing work on assemblage in political geography, to illustrate the ways sovereignty was exercised and experienced, as well as challenged, impeded, and negotiated in the daily life of Gibraltar and Gibraltarians. We draw on emerging work that brings into dialogue feminist geopolitics and assemblage approaches to shed light on under-explored elements and scales of geopolitics, as well as recent scholarship that seeks to broaden debates regarding where, how and by whom sovereignty is practiced and performed. To do this we firstly show how the hosting of the IG enabled Gibraltar to perform sovereignty in certain ways, setting these performances in the context of Spain's long-standing territorial claim. We then demonstrate how these performances of sovereignty were not straightforward because of the wider geopolitical assemblages constitutive of Gibraltar. These were animated through overlapping and emerging events – not least the detaining of the <em>Grace 1</em> oil tanker in Gibraltar's territorial waters during the games – as well as the challenges presented by geopolitics, geography, and the very materialities of Gibraltar's elemental and geological formation. The article shows how various human and non-human agencies seldom explored in political geography scholarship, collided to generate tensions that complicated or even challenged the performances of sovereignty at several sites in Gibraltar both before and during the IG.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"124 ","pages":"Article 103441"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145569912","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}

Focusing on calligraphy, illumination, and miniature painting, I trace women artists complex negotiations with patriarchal, nationalist, and religious discourses that seek to fix their practice's meaning and legitimacy. Drawing from feminist geopolitics with influence from geopolitics of art and with an understanding of Islam as a discursive tradition, I analyze arts and creativity as sites of embodied knowledge production where multiple power axes intersect. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 2018–2019, including participant observation, interviews, and narrative analysis of artworks, I examine women artists' use of Islamic traditions, Ottoman history, and artistic techniques to participate in ongoing conflicts over meaning, authority, and authenticity. I develop the concept of a feminist geopolitics of creativity to analyze the intimate and mundane spaces of creative production where hegemonic and alternative political narratives are negotiated. This research reveals the complexity of the positions artists inhabit in relation to Islamic legitimacy and secularist exclusion, and the patriarchal and nationalist discourses that circumscribe these frameworks. I demonstrate how creative practices simultaneously serve hegemonic reproduction and generate spaces for alternative interpretations, revealing tradition as a dynamic resource for reimagining seemingly fixed categories of Islamic, Turkish and traditional.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"124 ","pages":"Article 103445"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145569914","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}

Established by the government of the United Kingdom it is the first large-scale hosting programme of its kind in the UK with 125,000 placements to date. To understand how the programme was successful in recruiting the large number of hosts, this research explored the motivations of participating members of the British public. We identify three common forms of proximity within host interviews: perceptions of common identity of guest and host as members of a bounded European community, shared geopolitical threat to that same European community (and the spatialized proximity of the threat), and the ability of the British public to situate Ukrainians within a collective British memory of war time hosting. Together these forms of proximity drove a sense of responsibility in hosts to participate in the ‘war effort.’ This willingness was made possible by the governmental programme and state response which distinguished this population of displaced persons in terms of deservingness, giving them privileged access to resources upon arrival. We demonstrate how the larger migration governance systems used proximity to both motivate welcome and conversely justify the exclusion of others. Findings are based on interviews and surveys with thirty-one hosts participating in the HfU scheme conducted in 2022 and review of media and government sources.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"124 ","pages":"Article 103446"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145684524","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}

One instrument of development finance – heralded almost as a panacea – are investment guarantee instruments, so-called de-risking, with the goal to mobilize private investments. Development finance institutes are increasingly adopting de-risking instruments in order to leverage finance into renewable energy sources. The article critically investigates de-risking instruments and demonstrates how these facilities reflect global power relations echoing colonial power. The article proposes a critical scrutiny of the GET FiT Uganda program that has attracted attention in the renewable energy finance community. GET FiT is a de-risking development finance program from European countries that combines regulatory interventions into the Ugandan energy market with financial support instruments to attract private finance. Analytically, I apply the Foucauldian concept of governmentality to examine how de-risking governs the energy transition through risk management combined with the concept of Othering. The empirical approach is based on a discourse analysis to identify relations of power within renewable energy finance schemes. Based on the GET FiT example, the article analyses how European countries intervene into Ugandan energy politics to create new market opportunities for European energy developers and investors. By analyzing GET FiT through the lens of governmentality, the paper shows how different power strategies – understood as sovereign, disciplinary, and security dispositifs – operate in practice, with security playing a central role in how de-risking rearranges power relations and renders African energy markets investible. As such, power is a subtle force within political technologies serving foreign investors’ needs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"124 ","pages":"Article 103437"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145520310","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}

Here I first highlight how DJ movements have long operated across human, animal, and environmental health. I then introduce OH as a movement rooted in the organizing of scientists, healthcare practitioners, and policymakers seeking bridge health governance and care across human, animal, and environmental domains. Its tendency to reproduce colonial, anthropocentric, and ableist power structures in the present emerges from its origins in tropical medicine, disease ecology, and veterinary pathology practiced at sites like zoos and colonial/settler colonial research stations. Given this, I then ask: what would it mean to try to ‘crip’ science and health care currently operating within OH towards the political aims of DJ? In conversation with other critical OH interventions, I raise preliminary concerns emerging from the resonances and tensions between questions of what DJ and OH each want. I argue that considering OH and DJ together this way offers important insights for what constitutes just treatment on a damaged planet as well as the possibilities, dangers, and limitations of different approaches to treating injured more-than-human collectives. Throughout, I draw on digitally archived media and primary source materials, expert interviews with OH practitioners, and broader critical scholarship.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"124 ","pages":"Article 103439"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145420074","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}

Majority Latinx and diverse fenceline communities in Long Beach, California experience environmental racism and injustice due to concentrated ultrafine particulate pollution. Beginning in the late 1990s, Latina mothers and their allies have been working to improve environmental conditions in their city and health outcomes for their children and communities. Their advocacy efforts produced a horizontal and relational assemblage of political action. This was rooted in giving their testimonio (public testimony) at community and public meetings with City of Long Beach officials, and in the development and growth of promotora de salud (community health worker) programs at nonprofit community health organizations. Beginning in 2010 the Port of Long Beach began to fund local promotora programs aimed at improving childhood asthma outcomes for those most affected by its pollution as a form of environmental mitigation. This article proposes promotora m(other)work as a framework to conceptualize the horizontal and relational social reproductive labor between Latina mothers and promotoras de salud between 1999 and 2013 as a form of Latinx feminist geopolitics that arose to ensure community survival and build environmental justice futures.
