During the last three decades, inherited geographies of state power
have been significantly unsettled. The primacy of forms of
government organized along traditional, Westphalian lines has been
undermined by the unprecedented rise of supranational and
subnational levels of state power and by the proliferation of new
forms of governance. This groundbreaking, interdisciplinary volume
brings together diverse analyses of these ongoing transformations
of state space. The contributions explore state restructuring on
multiple spatial scales, and from a wide range of theoretical,
methodological, and empirical perspectives. They provide innovative
analyses of key theoretical and topical issues, including:The
nature of state space under modern capitalismThe historical
geographies of the Westphalian interstate systemThe transformation
of state territoriality under conditions of 'globalization'The
changing roles of national states in socioeconomic regulationThe
governance of cross-border regions, global cities, and offshore
financial centersThe consolidation of new supranational regulatory
arrangementsThe geographical rearticulating of struggles over
citizenship and democracyAnalyses are supported by case study
material covering Western Europe, North America, and East Asia, as
well as parts of Africa and South America.The volume will be
welcomed by students seeking an overview of this new field of
inquiry, and by scholars concerned to decode contemporary patterns
of state restructuring.
