Progress in global climate change politics ? Reasserting national state territoriality in a 'post-political' world

Progress in global climate change politics ? Reasserting national state territoriality in a 'post-political' world
Climatic change ; Global change ; Globalization ; Nation-state ; Policy ; Post-political consensus ; Territoriality
Changement climatique ; Changement global ; Consensus post-politique ; Etat-nation ; Mondialisation ; Politique ; Territorialité
This paper builds on previous geographical and social science work at the boundaries of climate change by(re)asserting the significance of the territoriality of the national state in global climate negotiations. Using post-political consensus
as a theoretical framework and drawing upon examples from climate change negotiations like Kyoto and Copenhagen, it argues that it is too premature to fetishize the consensus of, and collectivism between national states in global climate politics. As geographers
, ‘territoriality’, both as a material and discursive device, is fundamental in, and constitutive of, how we interpret and understand climate change and the politics thereof.

This paper examines the post-politics of climate change in Australia and discuss an important but otherwise little remarked temporality. First, we note the spatial structuring of Rancière's post-political theorization as it informs geographical
research on the governance of social and environmental issues. Second, we identify a post-politics in climate change policy developed by the Australian federal government (under Rudd then Gillard) which culminated in 2011 with its carbon pricing proposals
and subsequent clean energy plan. Third, referring to the discursive material associated with these developments, we discuss the critical importance of time in the climate change debate, returning us to comment on the problematic temporality of post-politics
with a word of caution about any re-emergence here of the political.

The participation of Australian Aboriginal women in a changing political environment in Gender and political geography.

The participation of Australian Aboriginal women in a changing political environment in Gender and political geography.
In pre-European times, Aboriginal women played very important economic roles in their societies, in the religious and political spheres. Today, the variation in the position of women in the society is enormous. At the macro-scale of Australian
politics, they have been largely ignored. This runs counter to the position at the micro-level where both women and men hold political power.

This article examines practices, politics, performativities in document production in the 2012 Doha Conference of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. First, it unpacks the manifold practical and material entanglements
of documents that are crucial for their production. Second, it discloses the political dimensions of routinised action and its supporting infrastructures by shedding light on the conflicting practices behind agreed documents. Third, it reconsiders the role
of documents as neutral media in politics by paying tribute to the performative role they play in organisational action. It concludes by arguing that they are not only the necessary condition for international politics but might also inform a social ontology
