The dynamics of international exploitation Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space (IF 3.79) Pub Date : 2024-03-06 Jonathan F Cogliano, Roberto Veneziani, Naoki Yoshihara
This paper develops a framework to analyse imperialistic international relations (IIR) and the dynamics of international exploitation. A new exploitation index is proposed which captures the territorial structure of IIR: wealthy nations are net lenders and exploiters, whereas endowment-poor countries are net borrowers and exploited. Capital flows transfer surplus from countries in the periphery of

Reading in the dark: Shifting governmentalities and the spatial dimensions of legible U.S. flood risk Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space (IF 3.79) Pub Date : 2024-02-29 Troy Brundidge
Following the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, U.S. private insurers abandoned flood coverage after deeming it incalculable, precipitating the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in 1968. The NFIP continued to underwrite illegible risk in the public interest. For decades, hydraulic models were limited to simplified “one-dimensional” simulations ill-equipped to characterize uncertainty to the standard

Labor organizing at chokepoints along Amazon’s supply chain: Locating geo-strategic nodes Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space (IF 3.79) Pub Date : 2024-02-24 Spencer Louis Potiker, David A. Smith, Paul S. Ciccantell, Elizabeth Sowers, Luc McKenzie
Amazon seems to be creating a new hybrid model of capitalism combining some elements of classical Fordist vertical integration, or even the over hundred-year-old “Taylorism” of scientific management, with 21st century elements of labor “flexibility” and reliance on gig labor and subcontracting. This hybrid model offers opportunities for organized labor to gain a foothold within some of Amazon’s vertically

International financial subordination in the age of asset manager capitalism Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space (IF 3.79) Pub Date : 2024-02-23 Bruno Bonizzi, Annina Kaltenbrunner
The rise of asset managers as key nodes of financial intermediation has been one of the most fundamental changes in the global economy over recent years. An emerging literature on asset manager capitalism (AMC) discusses these changes and its implications, though largely in the context of corporate governance in advanced capitalist economies. This paper expands the remit of the AMC literature to spaces

Microgeographies of assetisation: Realising value of households and residents in co-living housing Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space (IF 3.79) Pub Date : 2024-02-20 Tegan L Bergan, Emma R Power
Financialised capitalism’s proclivity for assets helps explain growing investment into new housing asset-classes, including co-living, Build-to-Rent and Purpose-Built Student Housing. To date, research has focused on institutional and financial settings driving the assetisation of property. Less common is research into the microgeographies of assetisation. In this paper, we contribute to research on

Speeding up, slowing down, losing grip: On digital media metronomes and timespace friction in the platformised temporalities of fashion design Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space (IF 3.79) Pub Date : 2024-02-19 Alica Repenning
The body of literature addressing platform capitalism, platform labour and platform urbanism paints a compelling picture of how digital platforms shape the dynamics of both leisure and labour within the framework of the platform’s model for extracting value. However, this literature rarely captures how the global timespaces of digital platforms are translated in platform-mediated fields of work and

The most recent phase of services digitalisation in the global South, reflected in the widespread adoption of Internet and smart-phone technologies, has given rise to an emergent gig economy that employs tens of millions of workers across its diverse urban centres. Pre-eminent frames of analysing the global gig economy have thus far focussed significantly on issues related to platform regulation, employment

Mobilizing space to realize the transformative potential of work integration social enterprises through a politics of scale and scope Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space (IF 3.79) Pub Date : 2024-01-27 Deborah Leslie, Norma Rantisi, Shannon Black
WISEs encompass a multitude of relations that both fall within – but also exceed – neoliberal capitalist relations. They are often spaces of mutual aid, collectivity and care, and these enterprises can – under limited circumstances – give rise to more-than-capitalist relations. In this paper, we examine the types of organizational and spatial structure that can best support the flourishing of non-capitalist
