Analyzes the history of cartography in order to assess the nature of modern political space Argues that globalization and the state are based on the same spatial reality and therefore the two are not diametrically opposed to each other as has previously been argued Argues that ‚the map precedes the territory‘ – that cartography is imbued with power and that historical shifts in map-making, from the medieval to modern period, effects the establishment of a new spatial reality

Beschreibung

Globalization and changes to statehood challenge our understanding of space and territory. This book argues that we must understand that both the modern state and globalisation are based on a cartographic reality of space. In consequence, claims that globalization represents a spatial challenge to state territory are deeply problematic.
