“…the Cold War) simultaneously challenged and facilitaded internationalisation (Schelhaas, 2022; Kolosov et al, 2022). Alongside the analysis of inspiring figures, such as the Swiss geographer Hans Boesch (Schelhaas, 2022) or Margarite Lefèvre, who served as Secretary-General from 1938 to 1949 (Fortuijn, 2022: 92), the chapters by Barnes and Roche (2022), Fortuijn (2022) and Jöns (2022) are of particular relevance to the issues addressed in this report. They offer both substantial conceptual contribution and interesting data to evaluate the development of what has been the actual meaning of the ‘international’ character of the IGU in different periods of its existence.…”

“…Thus, (Barnes and Roche (2022: 60) conclude: ‘Ironically, however, as the world has become more international and the study of geography even more important, the IGU appears to be losing its significance as national organisations, especially the Association of American Geographers, become ever-more global and hegemonic’. Given the noteworthy experience the IGU has had in engaging scholars from beyond Europe and Anglo-America, namely, East-Asia, Western Africa, and Latin America, and challenging monolingualism and regional imperialism (Schelhass et al, 2020), it seems natural that Barnes and Roche make a plea for the IGU’s contra-hegemonical role.…”

Amongst recent contributions to the field, this report detects ongoing and emergent topics within disciplinary histories and reflects on the evolving meaning of the ‘international’ character of geography as it has been conceived and practised over the years. A set of books on the long-standing efforts to internationalise the geographical community, and on the intellectual histories of critical geographies, constitute an outstanding resource for historical reflection and self-awareness. The report argues for further critical interrogation of how recent calls to pluralise, internationalise and radicalise the history and philosophy of geography interact with prevailing historiographical stances, sets of theories and philosophical moods.

The role of analytical models and their circulation in urban studies and policy

Cities are so complex that we constantly build models to represent them, understand them and attempt to plan them. Models represent a middle ground between the singular configurations of cities and universal theories. This is what makes them valuable and prone to circulate (between places, institutions and languages) and evolve to adapt to new ideas, local conditions and/or other models. When it comes to analytical urban models (i.e. analytical representations of cities developed to study or simulate part of their structure or dynamics), there is a lack of academic understanding regarding how context and circulation affect their content, use and interpretation. What happens to analytical urban models and their reception during their circulation across geographical and disciplinary boundaries? How have different academic disciplines interacted with, contributed to and been influenced by analytical urban models? What are the consequences of urban models’ mobility for our understanding of cities? In this article, we employ the policy mobilities framework to analyse the circulation of analytical urban models. We use six canonical models as case studies to determine how their assumptions came about and how these models have circulated across different domains of policy and application by using biographical information and model analysis. The first contribution of the article is to demonstrate by example that our hypothesis regarding the influence of context is consistent. We also show that highly transferable/mobile models share common characteristics relating to contingent factors such as their creators’ biographies, institutional context and the traditional markers of power relations.
