The present collection gives a superb overview of his seminal contribution. A real strength of his work is his ability to combine classical social theory and the continental tradition of Foucault and Deleuze, moving seamlessly between them to explore power’s choreography of space. -Mark Haugaard, Emeritus Professor of Politics and Sociology, University of Galway. Founding editor of Journal of Political Power John Allen is one of our most insightful writers on power and space. His persuasive account of power’s diverse modes and their topological spatialities has transformed thinking in geography and beyond. This collection provides a compelling picture both of the development of those ideas and of the shifting contours of power in its many guises (and disguises). -Joe Painter, Professor of Geography, Durham University. Author InformationJohn Allen is Professor Emeritus at The Open University. His publications include Lost Geographies of Power (2003) and Topologies of Power: Beyond Territory and Networks (2016).
