The aim of this paper is to offer a critical literature review of the mainly Anglo-Saxon literature that has recently focused on the geographical scale and the social-spatial transformations of contemporary capitalism. The paper opens with a commentary on the discursive nature of the globalization process and agues for the scale concept as a way to escape from the local/global dichotomy opening up a wider and flexible research field. The focus of the paper is the “politics pf scale” approach as the most interesting framework when to analyse the current changing power geographies. I finish in a reflexive mood offering possible research questions from this approach to the study of contemporary urban policy.
