Examining the case of Bolivia, this paper explores how the laborers and natures in the country’s two dominant economic sectors—hydrocarbons and minerals—shaped the country’s neoliberal and counter-neoliberal shifts. It shows that the materiality
of the natural resources and the labor required to extract them have created divergent paths of counter-neoliberalization with different implications for the scope and reach of post-neoliberal possibilities. In theorizing neoliberal and counter-neoliberal shifts
A geoadditive negative binomial model is proposed for regional count data that allows to address simultaneously some important methodological issues. It is applied to the study of location determinants of inward greenfield investments during 2003
Point-counting technique for fission-track dating of tephra glass shards, and its relative standard error
In this work, the AA. consider a procedure called point counting that significantly reduces the counting times, but also introduces an additional source of error. They study this additional error and provide a simple formula for estimating
the relative standard error of a fission-track density determined by the point-counting technique. In conclusion, this study has shown that, especially for very low track densities which are typical of Quaternary tephra, the point-counting technique can
Census counts and apportionment : the politics of representation in the United States... continued
Census counts are used in the United States as the basis for a derived apportionment count, which is employed by the president to allocate seats in the House of Representatives across the 50 States. This practice has been challenged in the courts

Une approche théorique du développement régional (systèmes d'innovation régionaux) est considérée dans un examen empirique des industries laitières norvégiennes. L'existence de tels systèmes n'est pas facile à détecter, le secteur principal ayant
une orientation nationale. Dans le cadre des exploitations agricoles et de quelques entreprises laitières à countre-courant, une relation plus forte aux réseaux régionaux peut être détectée. Les ressources nécessaires à un développement endogène

, the paper explores the contemporary governance of extractive industries, and points to significant convergence among the approaches taken by neoliberal and post-neoliberal regimes. The paper highlights the ways in which activist political ecologists play
important roles in counter-movements seeking to re-govern the extractive economy.
Counting fish : performative data, anglers' knowledge-practices and environmental measurement
Using a case study of recreational angling, the A. shows how fish in English rivers and lakes are counted and anglers act as lay or amateur knowledge-producers in the state's metrological knowledge-practices. She shows how, to support environmental
The granulometry of samples of marine and estuarian slime has been measured using two different methods. The first uses sedimentation (Sedigraph 5000 E) while the second counts the particles (Coulter Counter TA II). A good correlation of the results
of the two machines exists for the fraction between 50 m and 2 m and a reasonably good correlation exists for smaller particles, in consideration of a modification of the method of extrapolation of the HP 87 programme of the Coulter Counter.
CONSPACE region - a counter balance to spatial polarization in the European Union
The CONSPACE project was launched in 2003 as a part of the Interreg IIIB Cadses Operational Program with an ambition to create a macro region that could act as a counter balance to spatial polarization in the European Union. The project aims

Art of war, art of resistance : Palestinian counter-cartography on Google Earth
This article examines the arts of war and of resistance through the Palestinian refugees’ counter-cartography on Google Earth. It shows how the refugees have taken advantage of the State of Israel's (as well as the Palestinian leadership's
) inability to control the map, in the process rendering the geoweb a new battlefield in the conflict. It concludes with an analysis of how cartographically placing Israel's founding and perpetual violence at the fore, as the Palestinian refugees' counter
