Presidential Address: The Art of Convergent Comparison-Case Studies from China and India
Abstract
This address was intended to be and remains about global circulatory processes and
the ways that human societies have sought to deploy, control, or regulate these processes.
In this essay, I principally consider how nationalist ideologies regulate global circulatory
processes. The parallel with the current COVID-19 crisis is evident, and my remarks
do suggest some similarities. Although COVID-19 is not the topic I engage here, my
theme alerts us to thinking methodologically about largely invisible or inconspicuous
modes of circulation and their consequences, less dire but deeply transformative.
