Amidst growing geopolitical interest in the Arctic, these stations became essential tools for asserting territorial sovereignty, collecting data crucial to the development of the Northern Sea Route, and consolidating Soviet control over Arctic frontiers. This research argues that these stations, functioning as instruments of state power, enabled the Soviet regime to extend its territorial claims and political reach over land, resources, and Indigenous populations in this remote region. The paper also investigates how Soviet racialised ideas about Indigenous resilience to harsh Arctic conditions were exploited to justify settler-colonial policies and control over the Arctic environment. In particular, it examines how Soviet authorities framed Indigenous peoples as naturally adaptable to extreme climates, exploiting their perceived resilience to support state-led territorial consolidation and the expansion of state control. The research situates Soviet meteorological governance within the broader context of Soviet settler-colonial policies, which sought to transform nomadic Indigenous lifestyles into permanent settlements aligned with Soviet visions of a ‘fixed’ Arctic, characterised by a stable and predictable atmosphere. Finally, the paper demonstrates how Soviet meteorological governance played a crucial role in conceptualising the Arctic as a space not only to be physically occupied but also to be weathered and controlled, highlighting the continuity between the Soviet Arctic doctrine of the 1930s and contemporary Russian Arctic policy, in which Indigenous peoples are once again perceived as particularly well-suited to climate change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103331"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143873269","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}

Theoretically, my aim is to consider how the legal geographical concept of nomospheres, developed by Delaney (2004, 2010, 2015), can be used to examine deportability in combination with feminist political and legal geographical research on the scales of power and mundane practises of law. I demonstrate how examining the practices and relationships between nomospheric guardians – the key authorities of the so-called deportation machinery – and nomospheric technicians – whose task is to work on behalf of deportees – are essential to unravelling the ever-changing spatio-temporal-legal dynamics of forced removals. Moreover, in order to understand the embodied forms of resistance, nomospheric figures – that is the deportable people – are discussed in the analysis. All these various actors shape the actual practice of law, and I examine their efforts to implement, resist, or transform the law from a spatio-temporal perspective of power. My data comprises in-depth interviews with 39 nomospheric guardians and technicians, conducted in 2019–2020, and 16 monitoring reports from the Finnish Non-Discrimination Ombudsman’s officers in 2018. I demonstrate how the legal geographies framework, with a particular focus on multiscalar entanglements of power, can provide us with new ways of exploring deportability and deepen our understanding of the relationships between the implementers of forced removals and those seeking spatial justice. This provides a pathway for developing the emerging subfield of spatio-temporal deportation studies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103333"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143848711","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}

We aim at unpacking controversial global-local relations around renewable energy infrastructures by combining literatures on internal colonialism and global inequalities. Large scale infrastructure's dependence on global actors link practices of internal colonialism to global inequalities in the contexts of energy infrastructure expansion in Tunisia (solar plants) and Costa Rica (hydroelectric dams). Analyzing the political practices in these projects, we contribute a practices-based perspective to existing work on relations of coloniality perpetuated through contemporary infrastructure. These practices include cooperation between global, technical agencies with energy ministries and state discourses that frame resistance to energy infrastructure projects as backward or unwilling to contribute to a nation's electricity portfolio. (Il-)legal practices include the de facto transformation of land ownership for Indigenous communities in Costa Rica, and tribes in Tunisia. The socio-spatial asymmetries in these global and internal colonial relations are expressed in potential ‘sacrifice zones’.

By addressing significant cases of European radical ‘allies’ of anticolonial movements in the years of African and Caribbean independences, this work proposes new geographies of decolonisation based on the study of transnational and multilingual circuits of committed intellectuals who proposed socialistic and/or federalistic solutions for decolonisation well beyond national independence. The paper is based on the huge archives of two French intellectuals, Jean Suret-Canale and Daniel Guérin, who represented very different tendencies in the anticolonial Leftist circuits that gathered in Paris. The core of the dying French colonial empire, Paris was also a global hub for refugees and diasporic anticolonial/antiracist activists in the 1950s and 1960s. I make the case for reconsidering ideas that were not listened in difficult historical contexts (namely the Algerian War and the Cold War) but can still inspire current conversations. Drawing on the heterogeneous non-state and federalist proposals of French-speaking radicals, including authors such as Albert Camus and Cheikh Anta Diop, I stress the need of rediscovering non-nationalistic and non-communitarian ideas of decolonisation which allow de-essentialising identities and considering pluralistic ‘worlds’ as inspirations for inclusive views of decolonisation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103322"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143799982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historically linked to decolonization processes and post-imperial transformations of the international system, self-determination has espoused both violent and non-violent resistance, and supported both existing and emergent sovereignty. With the Janus-faced relationship between self-determination and colonialism continuing to this day, the contemporary moment is an opportune time to take stock of self-determination. However, as conventional jurisprudence and international legalism framings have, in many ways, hampered its emancipatory potential, alternative ways of reimagining self-determination are needed. Bringing together scholars from the fields of political and development geography, indigenous studies, international relations, and sociology, this intervention demonstrates how articulations of self-determination in specific sites offer powerful critiques of the state system and the liberal world order and unsettle hegemonic forms of knowledge production. These articulations open up conceptual space to push self-determination beyond the realm of rights, allowing us to reimagine self-determination as a vision and practice, and to recover and reconceptualize the hopeful, emancipatory and aspirational politics that have always underpinned self-determination. This intervention seeks to re-envision self-determination from three novel and interlinked angles: decoloniality, intersectionality, and relationality. Drawing on a range of examples of contemporary and historical self-determination claims and contestations, each author focuses on one or more of these angles to examine the extent to which current practices of and visions for self-determination engender novel understandings of emancipation from ‘foreign’ domination and/or colonial systems of governance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 103112"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140780927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
