- Double-weighted statement
- The book represents an extensive development of ideas raised but not explicated in an earlier book published by the author in 2003. The conceptual development of power topologies involved a lengthy gestation over a number of years, involving an iterative process of intensive theoretical reflection on ideas borrowed from mathematics, cultural studies and sociology to formulate an innovative, pathbreaking conceptualization of spatial topologies. Progressive formulations were ‘stress-tested’ over time in numerous invited seminars and lectures, as well as keynote presentations, in the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia and mainland European geography venues and departments.
