Description
Spatializing Authoritarianism by Natalie Koch explores the concept of authoritarianism in a way that has been missing from academic geography until now. Geographers have previously made significant contributions to understanding structural inequalities and oppressive power relations, but this book fills a notable gap by examining the spatiality of authoritarianism. By considering its many scales and expressions, including identity narratives, built landscapes, borders, legal systems, markets, and territorial and extraterritorial forms of power, Koch advances an argument that authoritarianism must be investigated at multiple levels. This collection brings together diverse theoretical perspectives and empirical cases from the Global South and North to illustrate the analytical power of this approach. The result is a nuanced understanding of how authoritarianism shapes our world, often in surprising ways.
