A political analysis of the global crisis and the struggles that have emerged within it must account for the unevenness and patchwork character of its effects and dynamics. Among the tendencies underlying the crisis are the shattering of old spatial hierarchies, the reshuffling of geographies of development, and the emergence of new regionalisms and patterns of multilateralism. This essay investigates this moment of spatial disruption from the three angles provided by extracion, logistics and finance. These three sectors of economic activity play a key role in shaping contemporary capitalism as a whole and therefore are important sites for the analysis of more general tendencies in its development.

Abstract
A political analysis of the global crisis and the struggles that have emerged within it must account for the unevenness and patchwork character of its effects and dynamics. Among the tendencies underlying the crisis are the shattering of old spatial hierarchies, the reshuffling of geographies of development, and the emergence of new regionalisms and patterns of multilateralism. This essay investigates this moment of spatial disruption from the three angles provided by extracion, logistics and finance. These three sectors of economic activity play a key role in shaping contemporary capitalism as a whole and therefore are important sites for the analysis of more general tendencies in its development.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
