This edited collection addresses the problem of how the creation of
novel spaces of governance relates to imaginaries of connectivity
in time. While connectivity seems almost ubiquitous today, it has
been imagined and practiced in various ways and to varying
political effects in different historical and geographical
contexts. Often the conception of new connectivities also gives
birth to new spaces of governance. The political denomination of
spaces - whether maritime, continental, social, or virtual -
reflects the situatedness of power. Yet, such crafting of new
spaces also expresses particular imaginaries and technologies of
connectivity that make governance possible. Whereas the study of
international relations has traditionally focused on the role of
agency and structure in power relations, the affects, beliefs,
attitudes, and practices that intervene in how groups of people
connect in given times have not attracted much scholarly attention
Overall, the detailed and original case studies examined in the
book range from the 16th century, to the 19th century, to the
present, and from Spain, to the Maritime Alps, to Germany, to the
Mediterranean, to China, to East Asia. The historical and
geographical variety of the cases serves to highlight the diversity
of the meaning and function of connectivity in the constitution of
novel spaces of governance.
