Batam City, in Riau Islands Province, is an Autonomous District; most of the area is also a free trade and harbour zone established by the Indonesian government. The phenomena of “two captains in a ship”, namely the Batam Indonesia Free Zone Authority and Batam Municipal Government, indicates that the social space has been constructed by parties with vested interests in it. The area’s strategic location along the country’s maritime boundary with Singapore is an ideal model to conduct research based on Henri Lefebvre’s theory of space production. This research has been completed using the methods of literary review, field observation, interviews, and analysis. The results of the research indicate that there are no problems in the policy itself; rather, the ideological differences and sectoral egos of both organizations cause problems. A solution to this dualism leadership is not yet given owing to the limited scope of this research

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a core element for global capital flows and a key driver for urban transformation. However, the ways in which FDI flows have been associated with the production of new urban spaces have attracted little academic attention. This research investigates how FDI activities have led to the migration of expatriate workers and their family members who have established ethnic enclaves in search of liveable environments. The paper focuses on the case of Korean activities in the Hanoi Capital Region (HCR) where the growing volume of FDI has facilitated two bipartite activities in geographically separate locations: one in production space for industrial activities in regional areas and the other in the social space for residential and commercial activities in new urban cores. The case study of Korean FDI, the largest investors in Vietnam, and in particular the HCR, depicts wider perspectives beyond a single industrial sector. This research sheds light on new aspects of recent changes in Hanoi, borne of cross-border capital and human mobilities. The ethnic residential enclaves are largely self-contained for intense social interactions, used as a tool to enhance liveability and bounded within commuting distance from the industrial sites.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To review the scientific production on organizational learning, which made use of the practice-based studies approach, concerning the production evolution, the author's profile, methodological characteristics, and correlated themes. Originality/value: Organizational learning presents gaps regarding contributions from other areas, such as Sociology. Practice Based Studies (PBS) have the sociological bias and the social space as a locus of learning processes and knowledge generation. No studies have been identified that review the national scientific production on organizational learning in the PBS context, reinforcing the potential contributions of this work. Design/methodology/approach: The research covered the papers available in Spell's database and in Capes Journals Portal, published until 2017, 42 in total. Those were systematically reviewed in a qualitative approach. Ucinet6 and NetDraw software were also used in the analysis. Findings: The publications are recent and focus on journals of national and international impact. The authorship is under responsibility of small groups, evidencing a partnership among the authors. The number of theoretical papers and the relevance of their contributions are significant. As for the empirical studies, there is a predominance of case study and interview. As to the themes, topics relevant to the PBS theoretical-methodological proposal are discussed. It was concluded that PBS, by taking the practices inserted in the context of organizations as a locus of learning study, reveal a potential to fill gaps in the traditional organizational learning perspective.

The 20th century saw the obliteration of 106 towns and villages, and 90,000 people were displaced as a result of brown coal mining in North Bohemia and associated industrial development. Tuchomyšl was one of these villages; its population was resettled in newly built prefabricated housing estates in Ústí nad Labem and Chlumec. Based on an anthropological analysis of biographic interviews with the displaced people of Tuchomyšl, this case study demonstrates how the former residents of Tuchomyšl identify with the physical space of the village which no longer exists, and what they think of their forced eviction. As it turns out, the local identity of these resettled people is influenced by several factors, particularly the location of their new residence, their age at the time of their village's destruction, and their economic standing. These people continue to identify strongly with the social space of the former village, which they keep alive with regular get-togethers even 35 years after the physical destruction of the village.

Turkish Abstract: Henri Lefebvre’in mekân kuramına dayanan bu tez çalışmasında Türkiye’de Ankara örneğinde Cumhuriyetin kuruluşundan günümüze mekânın üretimi süreçleri ele alınmaktadır. Lefebvre’in önerdiği mekân dönemselleştirmesinden yola çıkarak tez çalışmasında Cumhuriyetin kuruluşundan günümüze Ankara’da birbirine müteakip tarihsel mekân (1923-1930), soyut mekân (1930-1980) ile çelişkili mekânın (1980 sonrası) üretildiği varsayımı öne sürülerek bu tarihsel süreçte mekânın (yeniden) üretimi süreçlerinin Türkiye’de değişen üretim ilişkileri ile güçleri ve farklı dönemlerde öne çıkan üstyapısal paradigmaların değişim ile dönüşümü bağlamında ele alınmaktadır. Aynı zamanda toplumsal mekânın incelenmesi için Lefebvre’in önerdiği mekânsal üçlüye dayanarak çalışmada Ankara’da Cumhuriyetin kuruluşundan günümüze farklı dönemlerde toplumsal mekânın algılanan, yaşanan ile tasarlanan boyutları ele alınmaktadır. Türkiye’de 2000 sonrası dönemde egemen neoliberal-İslamcı üstyapısal paradigma ile ileri kapitalist esnek birikim rejimi bağlamında Ankara’da üretilmekte olan çelişkili mekân ise tez çalışmasında özel olarak ele alınan diğer konudur. Bu dönemde kentin toplumsal mekanının algılanan, yaşanan ile tasarlanan boyutları mevcut üretim ilişkileri ve egemen üstyapısal paradigma (neoliberal İslamcılık) ile Osmanlı-Selçuklu söylemi bağlamında değerlendirilmektedir. Lefebvre’in mekâna dair kuramsallaştırmalarından ilk önce ‘Mekânın Üretimi’ çalışmasının yapısal bir okumasına dayanan bu tez çalışması benimsediği yöntemsel çerçeve bakımından niteliksel bir çalışmadır.English Abstract: Drawing on Henri Lefebvre’s production of space theory, this dissertation analyzes the processes of production of space in Turkey since the establishment of Turkish Republic up to the present, focusing specifically on Ankara. Considering the periodization of space framework proposed by Lefebvre, this dissertation posits that there are three consecutive periods of space production in Turkey: historical space (1923-1930), abstract space (1930-1980) and contradictory space (post-1980). In addition, this dissertation elaborates on the production of space in these periods in terms of changing relations and forces of production while also considering changing superstructural paradigms. At the same time, taking into consideration Lefebvre’s spatial triad, the dissertation elaborates on the lived, perceived and conceived moments of social spaces in Ankara for each period of its history of space since the establishment of the Republic up to the present time. The production of contradictory space in Ankara in the context of the dominant Neoliberal-Islamist superstructural paradigm and the flexible accumulation regime of advanced capitalism of the post-2000 period receives special focus in this dissertation. For this period, the lived, perceived and conceived aspects of the social space of Ankara are evaluated in the context of existing production relations, dominant superstructural paradigm (Neoliberal Islamism) and Ottoman-Seljuk discourse. The dissertation—which is based upon a structural reading of Lefebvre’s theorizations on space (first and foremost his ‘the Production of Space’ book)—adopts a qualitative methodological framework.

AbstractPopulists are on the rise across the globe and claim to speak on behalf of ‘the people’ that are set against the establishment in the name of popular sovereignty. This article examines how populist discourses represent ‘the people’ as a referent object that is threatened and the form and implications of this populist securitisation process. Drawing on securitisation theory and poststructuralism, the article understands populist securitisation as a discursive practice that propagates a politics of fear, urgency, and exceptionality in order to mobilise ‘the people’ against a ‘dangerous’ elite and normalise this antagonistic divide of the social space. While the proposed theoretical framework aims to clarify the relationship between poststructuralist and securitisation theory and capture the nexus between populism and security, the case of populism broadens the scope of potential subjects of security and poses important challenges to existing theoretical assumptions about security as something designated by states’ representatives and ‘security experts’. The article develops and illustrates its arguments with a case study on the (de)securitisation moves in the populist discourse of Donald Trump.

Abstract In this article, I analyse the transformations of the Romanian post-communist intellectual elites, using as a case study the disputes in the cultural press in Romania from 2002 to 2004, disagreements that influenced the repositioning of the Romanian public intellectuals through ideological alignments. Those debates gave birth afterwards to a cohesive Conservative pole and to anti-conservative tendencies of diverse political orientations, which constitutes the origin of the current divisions of the intellectual space. The analysis combines the Bourdieusian perspective on the social field and the theory of social networks with the purpose to formulate a hypothesis concerning the competitions meant to produce and preserve the prestige of the status groups in the social space that generate conflicting ideological positions. It outlines an alternative form of reassessing the “reputation economy” outside the space of the commodity exchange economy, starting instead with symbolic exchanges. The study describes the social rationale behind status production, as a source of strategies for maintaining dominant positions in a social field.

Ecotechnics constitute one of the fundamental elements for the construction of conditions for sustainability since they represent a viable option to successfully face the social, economic and environmental problems that characterize contemporary society. The article that is presented analyzes the case of biopools in the city of Guadalajara and has the objective of demonstrating, in the case study, their socio-environmental and economic viability. In particular, the economic and socio-environmental benefit is calculated, not only for the users of the swimming pool service, but also for the population, environmental health and government management. With the theoretical framework of ecological economics, we adapt the traditional cost-benefit model, incorporating non-market variables that allow a socio-environmental assessment of the implementation of eco-technology. The results obtained, the annual savings of $ 17,660,498 pesos and the consequent elimination of chemical contamination in the pools, allow us to conclude that, if applied, the proposed eco-technology would bring benefits not only for the users, but also for the population and the municipal government.
