Thinking about 'after' and 'afterwards' in world politics necessitates thinking about complex, ambiguous and socially disruptive processes, practices, and methods of governance. Focused on locating the 'afterwards' in moments of world politics marked by ongoing, and consistently unsuccessful, responses to crisis, conflict, and questions of social, political, and economic legitimacy, this themed section spotlights two areas of particular concern. First, the section asks what it might mean to theorise 'after', and 'afterwards', in world politics. Second, it explores what opportunities are afforded in thinking about the relationship between 'afterwards' in terms of postcoloniality, governmentality, and the machinery of state building. Interested in diverse ways with 'thresholds', and the ambiguity of threshold environments, this section demonstrates the necessity of thinking about complex, ambiguous, and socially disruptive processes, practices, and methods of governance, including how the enduring impacts of past 'events' encroach upon the present in intimate and significant ways, influencing the lives, and life chances, of people throughout the world.

Interrogating the assumption that we live in a time 'after' crisis, this article explores financial crisis, recovery and ongoing questions of governance and intervention through a gender 'lens'. It locates the 'afterwards' of the global financial crisis as central to understanding how particular relations of gendered power have been able to prevail in producing a world of governance post 'post-crisis'. Asking what the limits, and liminality, of global financial governance are 'after' crisis, the article argues that governance responses to the crisis can be understood in gendered terms: in their efforts to stave off the potential instability of an undecided, ambiguous and potentially unpredictable economic space, and as concentrating power in the hands of financial elites, particularly, elite groups of white men.

ABSTRACTThe use of sub‐surface flow constructed wetlands planted with Phragmites australis (the common reed) for the treatment of sewage is now widespread in the UK. The strategy for the use of reed‐beds by a major UK water utility is reviewed in terms of whether the process (a) is appropriate within the rural environment, (b) offers satisfactory performance, and (c) meets criteria for sustainability. Its use for secondary, tertiary and storm‐water treatment is considered. Odour generation has been a concern for secondary treatment reed‐beds and has been measured and modelled to identify the required minimum distance to properties to eliminate any possibility of odour nuisance.
