ABSTRACT
Doreen Massey suggests that the United Kingdom is ‘one of the prime sites of the imagination and invention’ of neoliberal globalization. Moreover, in relation to the term ‘globalization’ more broadly, she suggests that in political and social science discourse it often comes to stand for neoliberal globalization. Massey is interested in the power geometries of globalization, in how place and space operate in the discourses and rhetoric of globalization, and how they relate to politics and ethics. Her thinking around the politics of place and space has undoubtedly been informed by her travels, to India and Brazil more recently, and to Nicaragua (when the Sandinistas were in power) in the 1980s.
