We explore how evolving societal values reshape legal frameworks, emphasising dogs’ emotional and social significance in human-dog relations. The study examines three legislative approaches - controlling out-of-place animals, regulating animal materiality, and protecting against harm - revealing their spatial and political dimensions. By analysing geographies of UK dog theft, we highlight patterns, victim experiences, and the property-companion divide. This shift challenges anthropocentric and speciesist legal systems, offering a model for multispecies justice with global policy impact. We envision future research, including non-western and indigenous perspectives, to advance ethical human-animal governance. Bridging animal and legal geographies, this study provides critical insights for students, researchers, and policymakers to understand and reform human-animal relations worldwide, advocating for ethical, evidence-based policies.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70047","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144929614","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}

{"title":"Peace in Motion: Rethinking Peace in Contexts of Forced Migration","authors":"Claske Dijkema","doi":"10.1111/gec3.70044","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gec3.70044","url":null,"abstract":"People who flee areas of armed conflict and other forms of violence do not automatically find peace upon leaving. Their lived experiences often involve continued violence across different stages and locations of forced migration, challenging conventional notions of what peace entails. Traditionally, peace is conceptualized in relation to armed violence and specific geographic areas within nation-states where such violence occurs. This article draws on geographic scholarship to reconceptualize peace within a transnational framework, challenging the state-centric perspectives that still prevail in peace research. The article is structured as follows: the first section explores how peace can be understood through the lived experiences of migrants in Europe, foregrounding their perspectives as a lens for rethinking conventional peace narratives. The second section examines key developments in peace and conflict research that provide a foundation for conceptualizing peace in transnational settings. The five shorter sections that follow introduce core arguments for conceptualizing peace in transnational settings: that violence does not necessarily end when war does; that peace, as a dynamic and ongoing process, must also be considered in contexts of so-called non-war violence; that peacebuilding goes beyond nation-building; that peace is an embodied experience; and that, in addition to the well-established spatial turn, peace studies would benefit from a temporal turn. The main contribution this article makes is that it reconceptualizes peace—through the transnational experiences of violence by migrants—as a dynamic, spatially and temporally entangled experience. It introduces temporal complexity, highlighting forms of violence that disrupt linear understandings of time.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70044","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144918782","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}

According to an academic literature that subsequently emerged, the period saw a combination of both change and continuity. The work offered two distinct ways to explain and understand the emerging context: austerity urbanism and pragmatic municipalism. This paper reviews these explanations with the goal of showing how and why they developed contrasting conceptualizations. We argue differing epistemological approaches underpin the two competing approaches. Understanding these differences is, we argue, critical for moving forward. The COVID 19 pandemic saw another round of changes to U.S. municipal budgetary and fiscal governance, thus stimulating, we argue, the need for another round of conceptual development. However, an under-appreciation of the distinctions between austerity urbanism and pragmatic municipalism threatens to stymie this on-going, post-COVID 19 pandemic conceptualization. We review recent developments in the broader U.S. municipal fiscal governance literature to generate a set of guideposts for this much-needed work.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70046","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144910225","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}

It acknowledges that their reputation has become tarnished in recent years and that festivals now frequently feature in debates because they are charged with inciting tensions, exclusions and contestations. However, of note here is that cities tend to narrowly conceive of festivals as temporarily bounded moments of commodifiable spectacle. The fact that festivals function, on an ongoing manner, as embedded, sustained practices capable of supporting urban social living in numerous ordinary ways is rarely acknowledged, much less prioritised. This paper tries to shift prevailing thinking by advocating an understanding of festivals as embedded socio-cultural practices. Specifically, it argues that festivals can be conceived as social infrastructure that comprise distinct but entirely inter-connected components: material/built forms, socio-cultural materialities and immaterialities constructed through year-round practices and, social spaces constructed and enhanced in the moment of their staging. As well as underscoring the societal importance of festivals, using infrastructure as a framing idea helps develop a better understanding of how festivals function to support the socio-cultural well-being, vitality and engagement of urban dwellers.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144646805","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}

Yet, these interventions have largely focused on the specific suburban formations of the Anglophone Global North, raising questions about their applicability to the analysis of queerness in the heterogeneous, transforming, and fragmented urban margins of continental Europe. In this article, I explore the theoretical and analytical innovations possible by thinking the “queer suburban” through the lens of the post-suburban which stresses relational modes of thinking, unsettles binary conceptualizations of center and periphery, and outlines new modes of suburban and regional governance. I apply this approach to three key sites of queer suburban intervention: suburban diversification, the governance of suburbanization, and suburbanisms as “ways of life”. First, I argue that adopting a post-suburban perspective allows us to more adeptly grasp the increasingly superdiverse European urban margins by foregrounding an analysis of queerness in relation to other dimensions of heterogeneity. Second, I argue that post-suburbanization processes reshuffle the modes and scales of the governance of queerness. This leads to new neoliberal governance logics such as multi-scalar “diversity politics” aimed at the inclusion of depoliticized queerness in the urban margins. Third, I argue that the post-suburban draws our attention to the possibilities of queer resistance, coalitional claims-making and intersectional organizing in urban peripheries. I conclude by outlining the need for a relational and comparative research agenda on the queer peripheries of Europe.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144511203","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}

Recognition of ongoing rural poverty and the need to modernize the rural economy has given rise to a myriad of policies in the last quarter century supporting rural development, notably in two key initiatives: Creating the New Socialist Countryside (2005) and a Rural Revitalization Strategy (2017). The former focussed on creating improvements to the welfare system, health services and education in rural areas, and was subsequently accompanied by concerted efforts to eliminate rural poverty. Rural revitalization has emphasized the need for agricultural modernization and reducing the income gap between the countryside and the cities. Based on an assessment of the implementation and outcomes of the two initiatives, this paper explores the policies and key events in the process of rural improvement and revitalization in China. It summarizes the development stages of the relevant policies over time and examines the key facets of revitalization. It focuses on increased provision of services in rural areas as part of significant reductions in rural poverty, the reorganisation of agriculture via land consolidation, and the growth of new investment in rural-based industry.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144482036","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}

In this paper, we systematically review the literature on the health, economic, social, and political dimensions of UA in South, East, and Southeast Asia. Our review reveals that key motivations and attitudes framing UA initiatives are distinct to this region, with food safety concerns being a stronger motivating force than ecological benefits or social justice. Heightened skepticism of dominant food systems in this region is contributing to new cultural agricultural geographies. An ideological shift is also occurring whereby agriculture is beginning to be perceived of as a more-than-rural activity. Nonetheless, we reveal that narrow and often negative perceptions of agriculture in Asia limits the types and extent to which UA occurs. Land access and tenure security are among the greatest barriers to participation in UA. Our review demonstrates that government support for UA has not always been effective, and we outline how capacity building and leveraging local knowledges have been more effective strategies for achieving socio-ecological benefits through UA than technological innovation. Overall, UA's benefits are context dependent and vary across lines of difference related to ethnicity, gender, class, and age. This review will serve as a guidepost for future research and policies aiming to support sustainable and equitable UA in the region, and possibly beyond.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144482037","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}
