In the Space of Theory

The book explores the evolving meaning of the hyphen in "nation-state" amid globalization and political conflicts. It investigates the transformation of the nation-state through the concept of "geo-graphy," challenging the notion of deterritorialization as merely a theoretical abstraction. By analyzing the current geographies of the United States and Canada, the author, Matthew Sparke, provides insights into the complex interplay between territory, identity, and political struggles in contemporary society.
