Future Emergencies: Temporal Politics in Law and Economy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a notion of the "politics of time" in order to analyse the effects that imaginations of future emergencies have in the fields of law and economy and demonstrate that the apprehension of the future in terms of sudden, unpredictable and potentially catastrophic events reinforces current modes of producing financial futurity, while it undermines the procedural rhythm and retroactive sentencing of liberal law.

Global territories: zones of economic and legal dis/connectivity

TL;DR: In this article, a notion of global territoriality for understanding the proliferation of special offshore zones in the context of globalization is developed. But the authors focus on three dimensions: the topological enfolding of inside/outside relations, the bifurcation between legal and physical presence, and a politics of visibility, and show that despite the different aims that these sites serve, they are homologous in how they employ territorial strategies for modulating connectivity.
