Examples include, but are not limited to, research into:• critical engagement of the theory and practice of geopolitics; • geographies of sovereignty and the state; • peace and conflict studies; • geographies of policy, institutions, and elections; • feminist, queer, and postcolonial engagements with the political; • politics of spatiality, networks, and scale; • intersections of political economy and political geography; • territoriality, mobility, and identity within and across borders; • political ecology, the politics of the environment, and post-human politics.We encourage the submission of full-length, innovative high-quality papers (11,000 words max), in addition to shorter, responsive, and topical editorials and interventions, as well as book review essays and forums.
