@article{Anarchist Geographers_2017, title={Beyond electoralism: reflections on anarchy, populism, and the crisis of electoral politics}, volume={16}, url={https://acme-journal.org/index.php/acme/article/view/1571}, abstractNote={<p>This paper is comprised of a series of short, conversational or polemical interventions reflecting on the political ‘moment’ that has emerged in the wake of the rise of right-populist politics, particularly in the Global North. We position the UK’s ‘Brexit’ vote and the election of Donald Trump as US President as emblematic of this shift, which has a longer genesis and a wider scale than these events alone. In particular, we draw on anarchist principles and approaches to consider opportunities for re-energising and re-orienting our academic and activist priorities in the wake of these turbulent times. Following a short introductory section, in which we collectively discuss key questions, challenges and tensions, each contributor individually draws from their own research or perspective to explore the possibilities of a politics beyond electoralism.</p>}, number={4}, journal={ACME: An International Journal for Critical Geographies}, author={Anarchist Geographers, A Collective of}, year={2017}, month={Dec.}, pages={607–642} }
