Exploring how infrastructure is - and can be - used by states as
part of their territorial strategy, this timely book examines how
core economic infrastructures including transport, energy,
information and water support states' territorial objectives. Colin
Turner analyses each of these infrastructures, looking at the main
adaptive tensions acting both upon them and upon national
infrastructure systems (NIS) as a whole. Offering a holistic view
on NIS, the book deciphers how states engage in infrastructuring as
a means of securing and enhancing their territoriality. Assessing
the role that both hard and soft infrastructure systems play,
chapters highlight how these can enable and be supported by
economic infrastructures. Turner conceptualises the National
Information Infrastructure System, looking at the pressure upon
infrastructure to retain its capability to support and enable a
state's territorial strategy. Public policy and regional studies
scholars will appreciate the integrated approach to NIS offered in
this book. It will also be beneficial to policy makers looking to
better understand debates on policy design around NIS, and
practitioners implementing these systems.
