Synthesizing globalization studies, identity transformation literature, and spatial theory, we conceptualize layered citizenship as a regime of constitutional equality coupled with differentiated access to political voice, cultural expression, and mobility, sustained by hierarchies of cultural legibility and securitized forms of visibility. We develop this argument through Türkiye's trajectory from late Ottoman plural imaginaries and Republican homogenization to contemporary geopolitical upscaling, showing how shifting spatial projects have configured unity and disunity across time. While external organizations recalibrate state functions without abolishing capacity, internal cohesion increasingly depends on integrating plural identities into the language and infrastructures of public space. As a constructive response, we reconstruct Blue Anatolianism not as historical romanticism but as a methodology of spatial commoning that relocates identity from blood to place and from essence to shared use. Through route pedagogy, in situ learning, multilingual signage, and conservation–use balances, we outline scalable commons-oriented policies that render difference co-present and publicly legible without undermining territorial integrity. The framework explains why conventional appeals to unity reproduce fragmentation and offers an implementable program to reconcile adaptive statehood with plural belongings. Though grounded in Türkiye, the argument travels to post-imperial and metropolitan contexts, where spatial commons can realign sovereignty, territory, and identity by thickening shared infrastructures of narrative, route, use, and care.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"20 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147568757","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}

However, there is a need to conceptualize the local implications of these globalized networks. As international trade has intensified over the last few decades, the current international order has seen significant uncertainty due to both geopolitical turbulence and the lingering supply chain disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic. By focusing on the relationship between cities, ports, and their surrounding regions, this review situates the interlinked geographies through which global trade has continuously transformed various places. Earlier scholarship discussed ports as primarily commercial nodes responsible for economic prosperity. This paper highlights the importance of studying logistics-led urbanism through ports' role as central nodes in urban redevelopments, global supply chain disruptions, climate change impacts, and geopolitical tensions. We argue that logistics-led urbanism reconfigures the 21st-century city through transformations of infrastructure, labor, capital, and territory. We draw on frameworks that treat ports as contested, strategic, and deeply political spaces, and conclude with suggestions for a future port-city research agenda in an emergent era of economic and climatic uncertainty.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"20 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146680553","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}

Jarvis","doi":"10.1111/gec3.70063","DOIUrl":"10.1111/gec3.70063","url":null,"abstract":"This review article brings together recent work on climate distress and reparative framings of care, drawing in particular on Carr's (2022) recent call to turn to “tangible work of climate crisis” to explore the potential posed by climate distress to become and world otherwise. First, I reflect on existential perspectives on climate distress, looking to theories of anxiety, horror, grief, and trauma to understand it as a form of “unworlding” (Halberstam, 2024), that is, as a disrupter to business-as-usual lifeworlds and an indicator of the need for both personal and political change. I then move to explore reparative geographies, which emphasise the critical work of care, repair, and maintenance. What potential lies in rethinking climate distress as a matter of work? What possibilities might there be for research if we think through climate distress through a modality of repair? Recent work suggests that the goal of engaging with climate distress is “affective transformation” (Verlie 2022), that is, to work through ‘negative’ feelings in order to become capable of not only bearing the weight of climate crisis, but of generating more livable worlds as well. Scholarship on care, which has long held the radical potential for surviving precarious worlds and for bringing other worlds into being, can serve here as a useful guiding framework. In bringing together these two bodies of work, I hope to elucidate how thinking through climate distress as a matter of reparative work could be generative for future directions of geographic research on the everyday work of climate distress.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70063","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146057776","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":"Narrating Chinese AI Geopolitical Tradition","authors":"Chih Yuan Woon","doi":"10.1111/gec3.70062","DOIUrl":"10.1111/gec3.70062","url":null,"abstract":"The emergence of China's DeepSeek—a powerful and cost-efficient open-source language model—has stirred considerable discourse among scholars and industry researchers. In particular, there is no lack of “external” claims that DeepSeek is representative of China's ambition to expand its influence in the international AI governance framework and counteract what it sees as America's technological hegemony, thereby allowing the country's elites to accumulate significant geopolitical power and mileage. This paper, however, focuses on the under-researched dimension of how AI and its geopolitical potential and implications is being narrated and debated by the Chinese scholarly community. Specifically, in highlighting the representational themes and tropes that are explicated in/through these scholarly narratives, I argue that they leverage a diversity of framings (security, governance and inter-state relations and diplomacy) to signal China's positive presence in the global AI ecosystem and underscore its broader diplomatic goal of becoming a proactive albeit responsible AI power. Given that the academic and foreign policy realms in China are often intertwined in intimate and complex ways, this paper posits that Chinese scholars, in narrating AI, help to shape the parameters/boundaries of what I call “Chinese AI geopolitical tradition”—a canon of thought on AI that undergirds the national interest and identity and normative foreign policy priorities of China. Interrogating Chinese AI geopolitical tradition is thus not only instrumental in the critical appreciation of the possible future developmental trajectories of China's AI policy forays and approaches. It also embodies a desire to spark research impetuses into excavating other AI geopolitical traditions and knowledges and putting them into productive dialogues with one another in order to foster more “accurate” and holistic understandings of the geopolitical landscape of AI.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70062","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146057878","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}
