This paper explores some of the ways in which a dialogue between development and postcolonial scholarship might contribute to the theorizing of transnational networks in contemporary development. It does so through consideration of three inter-relate... Read More about Transnational development networks: bringing development and postcolonial approaches into dialogue.

On what's right and keeping left: or Why Geography still needs Marxian political economy (2006)

Recently the value of Marxian approaches to human geography has again been called into question in the pages of Antipode. In this paper I review the reasons as to why geographers re‐discovered Marx and then, from the late 1960s, began to engage with...

Lives and livelihoods in the Rural South are becoming increasingly divorced from farming and, therefore, from the land. Patterns and associations of wealth and poverty have become more diffuse and diverse as non-farm opportunities have expanded and h...

Late-20th-century changes in glacier extent in the Caucasus Mountains, Russia/Georgia (2006)
Journal Article
