I just published in Economic Geography. In my paper, I examine how the Brazilian state established Embraer, one of the largest aerospace companies in the world today. I also discuss how Embraer was privatized in the 1990s, and as a result, fostered social downgrading. +

In Latin America, territorial development means more than borders—it's about power, identity & place. To rethink policy, we must see territory as a living link between people & space. Read More🔗 https://t.co/C8ObBtGoag By Diana Morales @LauraSariego & @Tiago_Teixeira3

Many thanks to Martin Hess and @rory_horner for organizing the special issue 'Shaping Globalisation: Revisiting the State-Global Production Network Nexus', which the paper is part of.

If you are interested in global production networks, state theory and role in development (UCD theory + Jessop's and Fred Block), and strategic coupling, please, feel free to download the paper here (open access):

The paper explores how South C leverages its underdevelopment to create policies that attract FDIs. Three key dimensions of state action are identified: fluidity and flexibility, commitment to a right-to-work status, and its education system's alignment with corporate interests.

I am happy to share my most recent publication at Advances in Economic Geography, 'State Power, Global Production Networks, and Underdevelopment: examining South Carolina's success in fostering strategic coupling'.

Our 'campaign approach' offers a structured yet flexible method to tackle practical and ethical challenges, facilitating insightful elite encounters. Check it out (open access):

Excited to share my new paper with @GavinBridge9 Bridge in Environment and Planning A! "Creating Elite Encounters: The ‘Campaign’ as Approach for Interviewing Corporate Elites" explores strategies for accessing and interviewing business elites, especially in contentious sectors.

Interesting paper!

Please feel share it. Thanks!

More specifically, our work advocates for a practice-based spatial approach. 'Territories as practices' acknowledges the practices that shape territories, and sheds light on how localities and communities resist and adopt economic transformations.

Engaging with Latin American geography, we show how a decolonial approach to territories can enhance our understanding of socioeconomic transformations in peripheral regions.

Excited to share my latest publication in collaboration with Diana Morales and @LauraSariego at Geoforum. Link:

Together with @JPTilsted I have a new paper out in EPA that explores why we are not seeing many investment decisions on green hydrogen projects Focusing on the Danish case the paper argues that risk and uncertainty in various domains are holding back private investments.
