Why do autocrats build spectacular new capital cities? In The Geopolitics of Spectacle, Natalie Koch considers how autocratic rulers use "spectacular" projects to shape state-society relations, but rather than focus on the standard approach—on the project itself—she considers the unspectacular "others." The contrasting views of those from the poorest regions toward these new national capitals help her develop a geographic approach to spectacle.
Koch uses Astana in Kazakhstan to exemplify her argument, comparing that spectacular city with others from resource-rich, nondemocratic nations in central Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, and Southeast Asia. The Geopolitics of Spectacle draws new political-geographic lessons and shows that these spectacles can be understood only from multiple viewpoints, sites, and temporalities. Koch explicitly theorizes spectacle geographically and in so doing extends the analysis of governmentality into new empirical and theoretical terrain.
With cases ranging from Azerbaijan to Qatar and Myanmar, and an intriguing account of reactions to the new capital of Astana from the poverty-stricken Aral Sea region of Kazakhstan, Koch’s book provides food for thought for readers in human geography, anthropology, sociology, urban studies, political science, international affairs, and post-Soviet and central Asian studies.

Capitals of Punk tells the story of Franco-American circulation of punk music, politics, and culture, focusing on the legendary Washington, DC hardcore punk scene and its less-heralded counterpart in Paris. This book tells the story of how the underground music scenes of two major world cities have influenced one another over the past fifty years.
This book compiles exclusive accounts across multiple eras from a long list of iconic punk musicians, promoters, writers, and fans on both sides of the Atlantic. Through understanding how and why punk culture circulated, it tells a greater story of (sub)urban blight, the nature of counterculture, and the street-level dynamics of that centuries-old relationship between France and the United States.

Le monde est d?sormais entr? dans l’?re de l’urbain, la majorit? des habitants de la plan?te vivant en ville. Rassemblant les deux tiers de la population mondiale, l’Asie concentre plus de la moiti? des villes vuln?rables dans le monde. Le th?me de la ville durable en Asie s’est donc impos? comme central pour cet ouvrage qui rassemble des contributeurs dont l’expertise sur le d?veloppement urbain en Asie est reconnue, et qui viennent d’horizons scientifiques, professionnels et g?ographiques divers.
L’?clairage interdisciplinaire des modes de fabrication de la ville durable en Asie permet de renforcer les connaissances sur ce domaine de recherche. Par ailleurs, l’originalit? de cet ouvrage est de ne pas se centrer sur un pays ou une ville particuli?re d’Asie mais de proposer une s?rie de contributions crois?es sur de nombreux cas d’?tude et de laboratoires urbains hautement significatifs en Chine, Inde, Cor?e, Japon, etc.
Ce livre s’organise en trois parties : il ?tudie dans un premier temps les mod?les th?oriques existants, puis leur mise en application et finalement leur capacit? ? r?pondre aux urgences soci?tales. Cette r?flexion est ?galement enrichie par les contributions du Pr. Klaus R. Kunzmann, l’un des urbanistes les plus reconnus sur la sc?ne acad?mique mondiale, europ?enne et asiatique.
