Infrastructure and Political paces in Global Processes: Platform-states, Transnational Agglomerations, Corridors

Abstract

Infrastructure and logistics are constitutive dimensions of global processes and a constant field for redefining the relationship between political spaces and spaces of capital. Using critical contributions from various disciplinary fields, the article analyzes the relationship between an international framework marked by the effects of logistic transformations, processes of infrastructuring and renewed state activism. It focuses on the emergence of platform-states, transnational agglomerates and corridors as political spaces.
