From the Arctic to the South China Sea, states are vying to secure
sovereign rights over vast maritime stretches, undersea continental
plates, shifting ice flows, airspace, and the subsoil. Conceiving
of sovereign space as volume rather than area, the contributors to
Voluminous States explore how such a conception reveals and
underscores the three-dimensional nature of modern territorial
governance. In case studies ranging from the United States, Europe,
and the Himalayas to Hong Kong, Korea, and Bangladesh, the
contributors outline how states are using airspace surveillance,
maritime patrols, and subterranean monitoring to gain and exercise
sovereignty over three-dimensional space. Whether examining how
militaries are digging tunnels to create new theaters of
operations, the impacts of climate change on borders, or the
relation between borders and nonhuman ecologies, they demonstrate
that a three-dimensional approach to studying borders is imperative
for gaining a fuller understanding of sovereignty. Contributors.
