The book “Spatial Scales, Rescalings, and Statehoods: Lessons and Challenges for Latin America,” edited by Carlos Antônio Brandão, Víctor Ramiro Fernández, and Luiz Cesar de Queiroz Ribeiro, and released by the INCT Observatory of the Metropolises, offers an unprecedented contribution to the field of urban and regional planning in Brazil and Latin America by bringing together Anglo-Saxon authors — such as Neil Brenner, Bob Jessop, Erik Swyngedouw, and Jamie Peck — with Latin American thinkers to discuss topics such as state rescaling; new directions in urban theory; economic geography at the North-South crossroads; liberal-peripheral metropolis; regional development; political geo-economy at the periphery of capitalism, among others.
