Neil Smith (2003-04)
The Changing Geopolitical Order

Lost Geographies and Failed Globilzations: From Versailles to Iraq

Neil Smith is a prolific, provocative and radical geographer. His work examines how seemingly far-flung places are connected in new and unexpected ways, from the instantaneous flows of financial capital across the globe, to environmental concerns that transcend national boundaries, to international immigration patterns A Distinguished Professor of anthropology and geography at the City University of New York Graduate Center, Smith also serves as director of the Center for Place, Culture and Politics. In addition to more than 140 articles and papers, Smith is the author of numerous books, including American Empire: Roosevelt's Geographer and the Prelude to Globalization and Uneven Development: Nature, Capital and the Production of Space. His work has been translated into more than ten languages and he has spoken around the world. He has been a Guggenheim Fellow and has received distinguished scholarship honors from the Association of America Geographers.
