Air power as police power

Air power as police power
Army ; Historical geography ; Imperialism ; Iraq ; Political geography ; Power ; Security ; Technology ; Twentieth Century ; United States of America ; War
This paper makes a case for understanding air power through the lens of police. After first rethinking a key period in the history of air power (colonial bombing campaigns) as a police mechanism, the paper then moves to consider the impoverished
conception of war and police in contemporary critical theory. The final section turns to perhaps the most pressing issue in current air power debates, namely drones, and suggests that a consideration of air power as police power helps us read drones
as a continuation of the police logic inherent in air power since its inception.

The Authority of influence. Women and power in Burmese history

The Authority of influence. Women and power in Burmese history
Burma ; Cultural studies ; Gender ; Policy ; Power ; Social status ; Society ; Woman
The A. seeks to provide a long view of gender-power relations in Burmese history. She examines women’s access to social, economic and political power over an extended period. Most Burma historians will be familiar with the political influence
transformation and upheaval during the last 125 years, in many respects women’s relationship to power remains little different from what it was centuries ago. The A endeavors to explain how they lost that power, and what attempt some women have made to recover
it. There is much uncertainty and debate about how the political, social and economic landscape of Burma may be –or may not- be changing. Only 20 women were elected to the 659-seat national parliament in the first general election since 1990. - (GL)

The social production of Latin@ visibilities and invisibilities : geographies of power in small town America

The social production of Latin@ visibilities and invisibilities : geographies of power in small town America
Community ; Iowa ; Political geography ; Power ; Social geography ; Societal relations ; United States of America
This article examines the social production of Latin@ visibilities and invisibilities through the geographies of power in Perry, a small urban town in Iowa. It discusses the border within as an extension of border politics and borderlands rhetorics
to the US “heartland”, and how the entrenchment of a regime of deportability creates racialized and gendered conditions for the in/visibility of Latin@ immigrants and Latin@s more broadly. It concludes by considering some of the theoretical and political
implications of our analysis for such geographies of power and the social relations, locations, and discourses that constitute and are constituted by them.
