“…In recent years, geography and its related disciplines have seen a resurgence of anarchist and what could broadly be called postanarchist approaches (e.g., White and Kossoff ; Cudworth and Hobden ; Springer et al ; Springer ; Springer ; Springer ; Wald ; Hammond ) As a discipline, geography's history is deeply entwined with anarchism thanks in part to the works of Élisée Reclus and Petr Kropotkin who are heralded as foundational thinkers in both circles, even if their anarchist contributions have been historically disregarded within geographic thought (MacLaughlin ; Springer ). Anarchist approaches to geography see the earth as an integrated whole that requires recognition of all of the relationships that make up that whole (Springer ).…”

“…One of the most fundamental and enduring lines of scholarly enquiry in human geography and the social sciences at large has been the functioning of the state in economic and social developments in various spatial‐temporal contexts (Nettl 1968; Skocpol 1985; Jessop 1990; Appelbaum and Henderson 1992; Taylor 1996; Evans 1997; Brenner 1999; Hakli 2001; Peck 2001, 2003). The “state‐centered” assumption was prevalent initially in mainstream social sciences in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (MacLaughlin 1986, 16). This assumption remained fundamental to the social sciences after the end of World War II as the state was widely considered to be the preeminent vehicle of social development and “progress” (Hakli 2001, 411).…”

“…The early promise of the Kropotkin‐inspired anarcho‐communism of the 1970s gave way to a decade that saw only one publication on anarchism in the pages of Antipode . Jim Mac Laughlin (1986) critiqued the state‐centricity of both geographers and the social sciences more generally, lamenting the influence that ethnocentrism had on the discipline of geography and its enduring prevalence thanks to the influential writings of leading historical figures such as Halford Mackinder, Ellen Churchill Semple, Ellsworth Huntington, Thomas Holdich, and Isaiah Bowman. In once again invoking Kropotkin and Reclus, Mac Laughlin called upon geographers to abandon the nationalistic historiography and statist imaginations that they had inherited to explore antithetical alternatives.…”
