On décrit conceptuellement la violence administrative comme un moyen de rapprocher les violences directe et structurelle. On voit en détail comment les formes de violence faisant et préservant la loi se croisent avec l'imposition de structures de
violence. On contribue à la littérature géographique foisonnante sur la violence par une élaboration de violence administrative. On reconsidère les pratiques spatiales du Kampuchea Démocratique, contribuant à une compréhension plus géographiquement informée

This paper constitutes an attempt to denaturalize violence through a foregrounding of ‘abstract’ and ‘concrete’ violence. Through a case study of racialized violence in Greensboro, North Carolina, it argues that geographers and other social
scientists must articulate more clearly how violence, as a theoretical construct, is abstracted from the concrete realities of lived experience and represented discursively and materially on the landscape. It concludes that the potential for, and actual
realized memorialization of landscapes of, violence is always and already a dialectical process of abstraction.

This article examines the forms of narco-violence in Mexico in light of the literature on terrorism and contemporary Mexican politics. It suggests three overlapping dimensions of narco-violence that should be considered terrorism: (a) narco-terror
as a struggle for regional political control; (b) narco-terror as a practice ordered by cartel leaders rather than spontaneous violence of foot soldiers; and (c) narco-terror as an expansion strategy from solely drug trafficking to other kinds of organised crime.

This article examines violence and the dialectics of pandscape throughmemorialization in Cambodia. It does so, first, through a destabilization of the periodization of Cambodia's violent past and, second, through a re-theorization of violence itself
calls into question standard understandings of the genocide and especially the post-1979 memorialization of genocide. To accomplish our goals, we introduce a dialectical understanding of both potential and realized violence, and potential and realized

the character of violence involved. At the same time, they reveal new details of competition for urban land rights. In these cases, land conflict seemed to promote corruption and the use of ethnicity, while corruption and ethnicity were able to alter
the relationship of this conflict to violence. There are findings here regarding sources of urban violence in general.

Urban poverty, structural violence and welfare provision for 100 families in Auckland
This article draws on the accounts of 100 families in Auckland to consider the impacts of increased social stratification and structural violence on their interactions with a government welfare agency. The analysis sheds new light on how
institutionalised and abusive relations with these families manifest in spatially located urban interactions. It is argued that poverty is misrecognised at the institutional level and that this nurtures structural violence in service provision interactions.

and civil society—and the discretion state actors hold over nonstate actors—relates to moments of police violence and ongoing abuse.

to the spatial analysis of the now 45-year-old Israeli occupation of the West Bank, to the growing study of politics of mobility and to the discourse of gated communities by adding colonialism and violence to the mostly neoliberal explanations of the phenomenon.
