are not simply the result of capitalism but something wider and more complex. Social change has been crucial and the political dimension is central to understanding spatial differentiation.
The paper suggests that there is no simple core-periphery structure in Fiji, just as there is no simple east-west divide. These may be important parameters, but they offer incomplete explanations of structure and change. Spatial inequalities

Time and the spatial post-politics of climate change : insights from Australia
Australia ; Climate ; Climatic change ; Ecological footprint ; Governance ; Post-politics ; Temporality ; Theory
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 paper reviews the relevant geographical literature on space, place and politics, then sketches the morphological evolution of the Square and the multiplicity of political meanings concretized in it. It examines the spatial practice of 20th
century oppositional movements focusing on the struggle for the Square in 1989, to demonstrate the extraordinary power of apparently placeless political movements over the production and definition of space.

theoretical foci in political geography: systems approach, territoriality and spatial behavior. It is also possible to identify four themes or directive principles: the areal-differentiation theme, the spatial theme, the man-environment theme
The political geography of the 1970s shows a more interdisciplinary nature either by the adoption of new research areas from other social sciences or by the adoption of new methods from the social sciences. It is possible to identify three major

This article focuses on the spatialpolitics of the political protest that held in Tel Aviv, analysing the particular strategies it used to activise urban public space. It initially reflected the lack of affordable housing but as, as it materialised
of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. This analysis points pointing to the spatialpolitics of centrality, multiplicity and ‘media-space’, a mutually enforcing relationship between physical public space and mainstream and social media.
and expanded in public space, it also incorporated more marginalised publics and places, addressing longstanding socio-spatial inequalities between Israel’s ‘centre’ and ‘periphery’, and advancing a message of ‘social justice’—with the noted exception
throws light on Gottmann's general approach to geography, which helps in understanding his later urban studies. It also illuminates his other major roles, as regional and as political geographer, plus his seminal contributions to spatial analysis.
