This book represents the first comprehensive study of the
influential German legal and political thinker Carl Schmitt's
spatial thought, offering the first systematic examination from a
Geographic perspective of one of the most important political
thinkers of the twentieth century. It charts the development of
Schmitt's spatial thinking from his early work on secularization
and the emergence of the modern European state to his post war
analysis of the spatial basis of global order and international
law, whilst situating his thought in relation to his changing
biographical and intellectual context, controversial involvement in
Weimar politics and disastrous support for the Nazi regime. It
argues that spatial concepts play a crucial structural role
throughout Schmitt's work, from his well-known analyses of
sovereign power and states of exception to his often overlooked
spatial history of modernity. Locating a fundamental relationship
between space and 'the political' lies at the core of his thought.
The book explores the critical insight that Schmitt's spatial
thought bears on some of the key political questions of the
twentieth century whilst tracking his profound and enduring
influence on key debates on sovereignty, international relations,
war and the nature of world order at the start of the twenty first
century.
