In the past year scholars have extended the reach of legal geography to a number of previously neglected areas of interest. Among these are non-Western, non-common law places; the sphere of the international, particularly the law of war; and the physical, other-than-human worlds. As they ventured into these areas legal geographers have also initiated or strengthened convergences with other critical projects such as political ecology, critical strands of international legal scholarship, legal anthropology, critical physical geography and critical animal studies.
