A significant rise of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in Arizona in June 2020 prompted the need to evaluate potential dispersion to other regions in the United States. We evaluate the potential for domestic dissemination of SARS-CoV-2 from Arizona using mobile device-location and scheduled flights data.

This chapter examines Huawei’s move to the global North, particularly to the European and US markets. Changing from an original equipment manufacturer to a favored investor, Huawei’s entry and encroachment into the European market shows a pattern and ramifications of Chinese ICT capital’s counterflow into developed markets. A series of setbacks Huawei encountered in the United States, however, demonstrates the US move to contain China’s business and technological power. The evolving disputes surrounding Huawei fully show inter-state/inter-capitalist competition between US hegemonic power and the newly emerging-market corporate power.

This chapter traces the Anglotopian visions of universal peace in the context of fin-de-siècle debates about democracy, empire, race, and war. It contends that the most ambitious projects for Anglo-American synthesis promoted the idea of global racial peace — the abolition of war through the unification of Britain and the United States. Recognizing the character and significance of such arguments requires a reappraisal of the genealogy of modern peace discourse. After delineating several popular visions of peace that circulated during the nineteenth century, the chapter introduces the “democratic war thesis” and the “democratic empire thesis.” The former posited that democratic political structures caused or exacerbated inter-state conflict, while the latter suggested that vast empires could cooperatively govern the world and eradicate war. The chapter examines the racial peace thesis, which was propounded, albeit in different forms, by Andrew Carnegie, Cecil J. Rhodes, W. T. Stead, and H. G. Wells, many of the science fiction writers discussed in Chapter 5, and an array of other unionist political thinkers. This was the utopian core of the Anglo-racial dreamworld.

The corporate offensive was the main driving force in the neoliberal transformation of Mexico as it was in the United States and Canada. But in Mexico the corporate power bloc had to change the political order to achieve its hegemonic aspirations and desired policy changes. While the top bourgeoisie have been able to achieve more direct control of the state, they have not been able to establish a stable system of domination. The rise of bourgeois hegemony in Mexico is fragile. But the working class has not yet been able to find its voice and break free of the bonds of Mexico’s old state-linked unions or state system of labour repression in general. However, the on-going hardships imposed by neoliberalism, the fragile legitimacy of the new political regime, and the surviving popular traditions of revolutionary struggle point to a renewal of a class-based popular fight-back sooner rather than later. L’offensive du patronat a été la force prépondérante derrière la transformation néolibérale du Mexique, comme aux Etats-Unis et au Canada. Mais, au Mexique, le bloc du pouvoir patronal était obligé de transformer l’ordre politique afin de réaliser ses aspirations hégémoniques et la transformations politiques souhaitées. Alors que la haute bourgeoisie a réussi à renforcer son contrôle direct sur l’état, elle n’a pas réussi à établir un système stable de domination. L’ascendance de l’hégémonie bourgeoise au Mexique est fragile. Mais, la classe ouvrière n’a pas encore réussi à trouver sa voix et à briser les chaines des anciens syndicats liés à l’état mexicain ou le système étatique de répression du travail en général. Néanmoins, les difficultés de longue durée imposée par le néolibéralisme, la légitimité fragile du nouveau régime politique et les traditions populaires de lutte révolutionnaire qui persistent, suggère la renaissance d’une contre-attaque populaire basée sur les classes, plus tôt et non plus tard.

Increasingly, scholars are exploring the politics of migration and the shifting terrain of citizenship from a critical mobilities perspective. To contribute to these discussions, in this paper, I explore how processes of sub-citizenship occur as nation-states craft immigration, citizenship, and border securitization policies and practices. I argue that complex and shifting processes of sub-citizenship largely occur through the nation-state’s production of ‘insiders’ (‘citizens’) and ‘outsiders’ (‘non-citizens’). As a nascent attempt to introduce sub-citizenship, I draw upon recent high-profile cases of family separation, abuse, and neglect experienced by children with ‘illegal migrant’ status in the United States and Australia. Under the international nation-state system and the neoliberal globalization paradigm, the border policing powers of nation-states are primed to expand and intensify processes of sub-citizenship. Those at lower levels of the sub-citizen hierarchy are at risk of experiencing various forms of state-led violence, including deportation, detention, and torture.
