What is The geopolitics of spectacle : space, synecdoche, and the new capitals of Asia about?
<p><b>Why do autocrats build spectacular new capital cities? </b>In <i>The Geopolitics of Spectacle</i>, Natalie Koch considers how autocratic rulers use "spectacular" projects to shape state-society relations, but rather than focus on the standard approach--on the project itself--she considers the unspectacular "others." The contrasting views of those from the poorest regions toward these new national capitals help her develop a geographic approach to spectacle.</p><p>Koch uses Astana in Kazakh
