This book explores the intellectual legacy of John Agnew, one of geography's most influential thinkers of the past 50 years. It examines Agnew's transformative thinking on geopolitics, territory, place, and context, demonstrating how his ideas reshaped political geography and continue to inform contemporary scholarship across geography, political science, and international relations.

Through a comprehensive understanding of Agnew's contributions to geographic thought and their enduring relevance, this book offers reflections on key concepts such as the territorial trap, critical geopolitics, context, and place-based politics, showing how Agnew challenged conventional wisdom and encouraged new ways of thinking about geographical concepts. The chapters also subtly reveal how the practices of scholarly collaboration, academic mentorship, and the ways of conducting research have changed and evolved over recent decades. By connecting Agnew's ideas across these changing contexts, this volume serves as both a retrospective appreciation and a forward-looking resource for geographic inquiry.

This volume is essential reading for scholars and students in political geography, human geography, international relations, political science, and political sociology. It will appeal to those interested in geographic theory, geopolitical analysis, territory, context, and the concept of place. It also reveals how research unfolds within and across disciplinary boundaries, offering insights into collaborative scholarship at the intersection of space, power, and politics.

Chapters assess welcoming initiatives across Europe, evaluating how those that engage with migrant newcomers contribute to economic, political and social prosperity in their respective localities. Identifying factors that limit the success of welcoming initiatives, such as fragmentation and challenges in scaling support, contributors illustrate how progress is constrained beyond the local level. This Modern Guide highlights the need for new criteria to define community belonging, based on people's contributions to their community rather than legal or normative assumptions of belonging. Analysing how migrant newcomers and long-term residents can integrate into a diverse and cohesive community, authors present methods for learning from comparison and scaling up initiatives.

Innovative and timely, A Modern Guide to Migration and Spatial Justice in Europe is a crucial resource for students and scholars of geography, anthropology, sociology, politics and public policy, as well as urban and regional studies. Policymakers will also benefit from its insights into social justice action.

This monograph examines the growing datafication of European borders, exploring how digital technologies reshape migration governance. This book reveals how such technologies increasingly function as tools of exclusion, surveillance, and control for those whose mobility rights are restricted - including people seeking asylum and illegalised migrants. As such, this book explores the datafied element of enforcing the exclusionary logics that underpin migration policies in Europe.

Drawing on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in Greece and the United Kingdom, this book foregrounds the lived experiences of those navigating datafied systems. It traces how digital infrastructures reshape access to rights and everyday life. Conceptually, this book identifies key manifestations of power within datafied borders: control through categorisation and identification, containment through everyday surveillance, and dispossession of rights through data infrastructures. Situating these processes within histories of colonial and racialised border control, this book challenges solutions that focus on the technology itself, highlighting the structural injustices embedded in datafied migration governance.

This book will be of interest to scholars and students across migration studies, critical border studies, critical data studies, surveillance studies, sociology, anthropology, geography, and politics. It will also appeal to policymakers, activists, and civil society organisations working on migration, mobility rights, and digital justice.

The authors introduce the 'Agile Faculty Development Framework' in response to this shifting environment. Grounded in principles of organizational learning and shared understanding of student, faculty, and institutional needs, this innovative framework illustrates how faculty development can be redesigned to strengthen well-being, promote inclusive teaching, support technology integration and cultivate both faculty leadership and leaders of faculty development efforts. Drawing on international case studies, this insightful book emphasizes the importance of supporting faculty well-being and sustaining faculty on their career pathway, providing evidence-based approaches for assisting faculty in their complex and ever-changing roles to enhance student learning.

Rethinking Faculty Development is a vital resource for scholars and students of higher education policy, particularly those interested in bolstering the roles and functions of faculty. Faculty developers and higher education administrators will similarly benefit from its actionable recommendations.

Chapters explore a variety of inclusive governance approaches and analyse how representation of communities served by these approaches takes shape. Contributors evaluate methods used to actively bring about inclusion and engage with context-specific questions fundamental to inclusive governance. They draw on global case studies demonstrating the importance of context-sensitive governance, for example in post-disaster housing recovery, policing, food system design and green transitions. By combining theoretical insights with case-based lessons, this Handbook advances understanding of inclusive governance and offers guidance for designing, evaluating and implementing inclusive practices in public affairs.

The Handbook on Inclusive Governance is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of public policy, public administration and management and political science. Similarly, policymakers and government agency professionals will benefit from its astute recommendations.

International contributors critically analyse the global dynamics of knowledge production, the political economy of manufacturing, the making of markets, their regulation and governance, and the diverse ecologies of consumption for pharmaceuticals. The Handbook deconstructs the constituent parts that make up the social, political and economic power of the pharmaceutical sector while also foregrounding alternatives to the dominant mode of innovation and production.

The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology Studies is an essential resource for students and scholars in STS, economics, innovation and technology, health and social policy. It is also a valuable read for policymakers, professionals and practitioners involved in global bio-pharma innovation.

Latin American Conservatism and the Rise of the Far Right is a comparative study that focuses on contemporary conservatism in Latin America and its historical development, seeking to identify and analyze dialogues, similarities, and differences between countries in the Global South and North, as well as their interactions with former colonial powers.

Scholars of modern conservatism and right-wing ideologies in Latin America have focused on profound changes since the Second World War, especially the close ideological and material connections between (neo)conservatism and neoliberal ideology, and more recently, the influence on conservatives and conservatism of far-right populist movements. Through contributions from specialists in several Latin American countries, this book shows how conservative ideology has evolved since the nineteenth century in response to challenges from both the political right and the left. This study reveals that contemporary movements, fueled by populism, social media, and transnational influences, represent a new manifestation of a long-standing dilemma for Latin American conservatives, whose primary concerns have always been social, cultural, and political stability in a context where the legacy of the past is itself a potent source of division. To deepen understanding of the historical and ideological context, this book includes chapters on Portugal, Spain, and the United States.

Offering a highly distinctive approach to the study of ideology in historical and contemporary contexts, Latin American Conservatism and the Rise of the Far Right provides valuable insight for students of History, International Relations, Political Science, and Latin American Studies.

This book delves into the past and present of South African liberation movements, exploring how they intertwine movement theory and practice rooted in diaspora experiences, cultural production, anti-apartheid activism, and transnational solidarity.

Authored by individuals deeply connected to the liberation struggle, many contributors have been mentored by anti-apartheid activists and exiles, while others were pivotal figures in the global anti-apartheid movement themselves. This volume uncovers untold histories of exile, shedding light on how exiles and diaspora communities developed innovative approaches to liberation struggles. These approaches relied on embodied forms of communication that inspired subsequent generations of activists. From community radio, underground media, and broadcast communications to the creation of music productions, record labels, memoirs, sermons, intimate family storytelling, and survival programs, these efforts forged new pathways for resistance and solidarity. The authors reflect on their political awakenings and consciousness-raising journeys, sharing deeply personal narratives of being drawn to this work. Grounded in the Black feminist principle that "the personal is political," this collection is anti-colonial not only in its subject matter but also in its methodology-examining complex topics through introspective and personal lenses.

An invaluable resource for scholars, students, and researchers, this book is ideal for those interested in African studies, South African politics and development, ethnic studies, and critical race studies.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Third World Thematics.

Throughout the professionalization of Egyptology in the nineteenth century, there were several debates that raged: the purpose of the pyramids, and who built them; the meaning of hieroglyphs; the styling of statues and artwork on tomb and temple walls; and the history of ancient Egypt, especially in its relation to Christendom. As hieroglyphs became readable through decipherment, and scholars gained more accurate understandings of the written record, they established testable theories about Egypt's ancient social, political, and economic past. This volume presents sources within these debates and demonstrates how ideas about the past changed with the understanding and uncovering of more evidence.
Of course, most of this investigation was being done in Britain, in the metropolitan center, and so the sources bear the mark of inexperience in the outside field site, scholars' ignorance about the peoples they study, and the colonial hierarchy present at the time.
