New policy landscapes: relations/ territoriesRelational aspects – that is, how policy ideas are
connected through global and local actors and advocacy organisations
The territorial aspects – that is, policies and ideas as manifest in particular places as culturally focused schools along with the racialised politics of difference that are part of this territorialization

Policy mobilitiesWhat situations, ‘transit points’ and ‘sites of persuasion’ do
education policies travel through?How do education policies and ideas transform as they travel?How do mobile policies impact the character and politics of
place? (McCann & Ward, 2012)

Overview of paperwhat is understood by ideas of scale and policy in a
mobility approach
problematising movement and mobility
posit some possible methodological implications

(Relational) Scale‘policy transfer’ remains wedded to the nation state,
and to hierarchical scales (Cochrane & Ward, 2012).
Conversely posited is ‘a notion of scales as assembled relationally by particular interested actors, as unbounded and dynamic, but no less real or powerful’ (McCann & Ward, 2013: 7)

Policy fantasies and incoherencethe fantasy of evidence-based policy making where one
(successful) idea is merely re-potted somewhere else (Cochrane & Ward, 2012).
take policy to be, not coherent, but an inchoate and contested set of enacted practices and processes (Webb & Gulson, 2012)
Policy ‘relational and territorial’ (Cochrane & Ward, 2012).
How policy knowledge comes to and where this occurs

Movement and ‘Nomads’“[A] thoroughly Orientalist discourse investing the non-
Western, and in this case, nonsedentary population with desire and romance. So, in addition to the critique that nomadic metaphysics is overly abstract and universalizing in its allocation of meaning to mobility, its advocates often overlook the colonial power relations the produced such images in the first place.”
Cresswell, 2006: 54

Methodological issues‘associative ontology’ and ‘metaphysics of presence’ – joining
the dots (Smith & Doel, 2010; Jacobs, 2012)
the need to be attendant to the trade-off between ethnographic depth and the role of what is overwhelmingly the male geographer, and the focus on mobility that privileges connections and reach over local engagement.
