This book engages with current debates on 'planetary urbanization'
and the nature of urban political theory but notably considers the
implications of illiberalism on space, territory, and power. Such a
focus is timely, as illiberalism (across various settings and
terrains) is producing, and embedded in, increasingly complex,
hybrid, multi-scalar, non-linear, and globally networked flows.
Through ordinary explorations drawn from diverse empirical case
studies (China, the United States, India, South Korea, and
Singapore) and via mixed methodologies, the chapters in this volume
seek to advance theory that moves beyond assumptions and
certainties of what illiberalism is, how and where it operates,
what it looks like, and how it is experienced and embodied in
different contexts, offline and online. Chapters critically reflect
upon themes like authoritarianism and the spatialization of
illiberal power, from the grassroots up to national governments,
and stress the need to move beyond normative understandings and
portrayals of these terms and concepts. Presciently, this volume
looks back on recent history, pre-dating the Covid-19 pandemic and
some of the shocking political transformations now underway: as
such, the chapters offer a valuable lens to critically consider
issues like public health policies, surveillance and policing,
borders and bordering, and activism and resistance. The chapters in
this book were originally published as a special issue of
Territory, Politics, Governance.
