Abstract

The territorial state defined by hard geographical space is not so much withering away as being increasingly enmeshed in a denser and more complex set of virtual political spaces that cut across traditional distinctions between inside and outside, public and private. Boundaries are less and less about distinctions between territorial units and constituencies and more and more about those between economic sectors with different asset structures, cross-cutting socio-cultural networks that span the local and the transnational, state agencies and public— private organisations with competing clienteles enmeshed in ‘transgovernmental networks’, and new groups of social and economic ‘winners’ and ‘losers’. Thus political action today involves a range of attempts to politicise what has previously been seen as a predominantly economic image of globalisation and to reinvent the social dimension of politics through new policy and coalition ‘spaces’ in both the developed and developing worlds.
