  • The Spatial Limits of Political Community
    The Spatial Limits of Political Community by Ari Jerrems uses urban spaces in Spain as a case study. The book explores what the figure of the geographic neighbour can reveal about the current political conjuncture. It interrogates the possibilities offered for imagining new, and more just, forms of political community.

  • The Army-State and Spatial Politics in Burma
    The Army-State and Spatial Politics in Burma paints a clear picture of Burmese political and social dynamics between 1958 and 2024. This examination avoids the common pitfall of viewing Burma simply as another case of failed Western-inspired democratisation. The book argues that the country's spatial constitution is fundamental to understanding its post-1948 failure to function as a state.
