“…Theoretical interests and empirical concerns in the legal and geographic disciplines were initially combined through an interpretative turn (Blomley and Clark, ). As Clark () once argued, the law is practised in specific environments as a manifestation of structural power that permits local agency, and Pue () likewise notes the particularity of place alongside law's general abstractions. More recently, Delaney () describes legal geography in terms of word and world.…”

Licit narcotics production in Australia is based on the cultivation of a poppy crop restricted to Tasmania under local, national, and international regulation. Its legal geographical analysis is advanced by drawing on the thinking about 'the nomosphere' and 'topology' developed by David Delaney and John Allen, respectively. Australia continues to lead global production of licit narcotics as distinct new entities, relationships, and capacities have been enabled by differentiating between the constituent alkaloids morphine and thebaine with a loophole identified in US legislation of the 80/20 rule. Nomospheric and topological lenses are used to focus on the intensive, emergent qualities of the industry in addition to the traditional topography revealed in its scalar, networked territorialisation. A renewed understanding of the spatial workings and power plays relevant can inform possible transformation around narcotics production.

“…Principal research themes of critical legal geographies include: the geographical specificity of law and legal knowledges, in terms of scales, domains, power and control over space (Cooper 1998;Kobayashi 1995); the exclusion of particular groups from particular spaces and the creation of spaces of resistance by the marginalised (Mitchell 1997); the processes and discourses that (re)construct and (re)shape people's legal identities and their capacities to enter into and act within the formal legal system (Chouinard 1998). A flurry of writings about legal geographies in the early 1990s has been followed by the steady development of a body of literature and academic perspectives on legal geographies (Blacksell et al 1991;Blomley 1992;Chouinard 1994;Clark 1986;Cooper 1998;Delany 1998;Ford 1994;Fyfe 1995;Kobayashi 1995). The majority of these 'legal geographies' have produced critiques of legal closure from within formal legal channels and spaces (the courts, the House of Parliament, the media etc.).…”
