- More about The Confines of Territory
The term "territory" has gained renewed importance in a world where state sovereignty is being revived. The journal Territory, Politics, Governance has published articles examining the ways in which territory figures into contemporary political debates and its limits as a concept. The limits of territory are apparent in terms of the history of global capitalism, the power of some states, and the political uses of territory dating back to seventeenth-century Europe. This book selects articles from the journal to survey the dilemmas and questions that haunt the concept of territory.

The term "territory" has regained importance in a world where its close connection to state sovereignty has made a strong comeback, being invoked by proponents of Brexit in the UK, "Making America Great Again" in the USA, and myriad populists from India to Brazil, via Italy and Hungary. The word has a contentious history in social science and political theory. In its first seven years, the journal Territory, Politics, Governance has published numerous articles examining how territory figures into contemporary political debates and its limitations as a concept in a world where sovereignty has never been confined to self-evidently distinctive blocs of space named as "territories." Among other things, the limits of territory are apparent in terms of the history of global capitalism that always bursts beyond established boundaries, the fact that some states are much more powerful and exercise much more spatial reach than 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.
