The word 'territory' has taken on renewed significance in a world
where its close association with state sovereignty has made a
serious comeback, invoked alike by proponents of Brexit in the UK,
'Making America Great Again' in the USA, and myriad populists from
India to Brazil by way of Italy and Hungary. The word has had a
contentious history in social science and political theory. In its
first seven years, the journal Territory, Politics, Governance has
published numerous articles examining the ways in which territory
figures into contemporary political debates and its limits as a
concept when applied to a world in which sovereignty never has
simply pooled up within self-evidently distinctive blocs of space
named as 'territories.' Among other things, the limits of territory
are apparent in terms of the history of a global capitalism that
always bursts beyond established boundaries, the fact that some
states are much more powerful and exercise much more spatial reach
than do others, and that the political uses of territory in its
current usage date back predominantly to seventeenth century Europe
rather than being historically transcendental or worldwide. The
articles in this book are selected from Territory, Politics,
Governance to survey many of the dilemmas and questions that haunt
the concept of territory even as its current efflorescence in
political discourse ignores them.
