Whilst greatly valuing recent critiques of the vertical imaginary and reified ontology of scale theory, and of the unfettered flows of network theory, this paper argues against a human geography without scale. Rather, four propositions from the theor... Read More about Of scales, networks and assemblages: the League of Nations apparatus and the scalar sovereignty of the Government of India.

It has now almost become trite to say that global warming is one of the most pressing problems we are facing. Very few would also now deny that the cause of this greenhouse effect and the correlated climate change is man. What has not been much note... Read More about Should patent law help cool the planet?
