VIDEO ABSTRACT: http://antipodefoundation.org/2012/09/11/anarchist-geographies-special-issue-guest-editors-video-abstract/

This edited volume proceeds from the perspective that as contemporary global challenges push anarchist agendas back into widespread currency, geographers need to rise to this occasion and begin (re)mapping the possibilities of what anarchist perspectives might yet contribute to the discipline. We develop an exploratory volume, where explicitly and unashamedly anarchist approaches to human geography have been allowed to blossom in all their wonderful plurality. Accommodating a diversity of positionalities demands an unconstrained and eclectic embrace, and accordingly we understand the potentialities of anarchist theory and praxis as protean and manifold. Through this unfolding and variegated approach, we seek to expose readers to a variety of epistemological, ontological, and methodological interpretations of anarchism, unencumbered by the strict disciplining frameworks that characterize other political philosophies, and purposefully open to contradiction and critique.

Since 1979, the Animal and Earth Liberation Fronts have claimed thousands of attacks worldwide targeting property. While these protest movements have been relatively impervious to infiltration, disruption and arrest, the US and UK governments have made investigation and prosecution of these groups a number one priority. Since the mid 2000s, with the disclose of the State’s targeted surveillance and criminalization of these movements, activists quickly labeled the prevailing political environment the “Green Scare”—drawing linkages to the surveillance and prosecution of leftist activists in the century prior. The Green Scare, as diagramed within a matrix of juridical, legalistic and political mechanisms has criminalized forms of political dissent—providing a disincentive for activists’ oppositional political engagement. The current study’s analysis applies an emergent method of conflict analysis and mediation to the subject of the violent non-State actor. In this manner it attempts to adapt this conflict mediation approach to examine how counter-terrorism exists as an articulation of the State’s epistemological framework and lived experience of State-personhood. Though examining the State as an entity capable of synthesizing experiences and generating a perceived “threat”, one can examine a resulting juridical “defense”. Utilizing the Insight approach to conflict mediation as developed by scholars including Bernard Lonergan (1992; 1998; 2004), Robert Fitterer (2008), Cheryl Picard (2010; 2011) and Jamie Price (2012), one can understand the State’s threat perception, narrative construction, and finally, policies that emanate from such a conflict understanding. The analysis contained herein attempts to adopt the Insight approach in order to undertake a critical, interpretive analysis of the Green Scare. The aim here is to extend Insight’s application to an analysis of Statecraft and by doing so, offer a challenging case study for consideration.
