Changing Scale as Changing Class Relations: Variety and Contradiction in the Politics of Scale

Abstract
Changes of scale in political-economic processes are often associated with changes in class relations, articulated by particular class projects, and developed through class struggle. Such jumping of scale seems to be an expression of class power. Shifts in scale have been underpinned by contradictions of capitalist reproduction and the state, and class agents have intervened with varied political projects, partly through shifting their scales.
