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.

Cleaning up after the Celtic Tiger : scalar fixes in the political ecology of Tiger economies

Using a theoretically provocative case study that examines the politics of waste management in Ireland, the paper argues that in reflecting upon the role of such culture wars in the constitution of dominant social relations in Tiger states
, the concepts of scalar strategies and struggles over scale may prove useful. Ecological projects too are fundamentally produced by and implicated in the structuration of scale. In calling for dialogue between political ecological studies and recent work
in geography, the paper hopes to contribute towards the development of a political ecology of Tiger states.

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
