With its specific focus on three-dimensional space as itself a materiality as well as a force in political conceptions and social analysis, it will be welcomed by scholars interested in climate change, sustainability, sovereignty, territoriality, and beyond. This volume sparks the imagination.” -- Marilyn Strathern, author of * Relations: An Anthropological Account *\u003cbr\u003e“Taking materiality and dimensionality seriously in thinking about geopolitics, \u003ci\u003eVoluminous States\u003c\/i\u003e is likely to become a standard reference in developing debates in human geography, political theory, international relations, and anthropology. Global in reach, this is a great project that is executed extremely well.” -- Stuart Elden, author of * Shakespearean Territories *\u003cbr\u003e“[\u003ci\u003eVoluminous States\u003c\/i\u003e] provides a highly nuanced and textured examination of the tensions between the state’s intrusive attempts to flatten, homogenize, and control space.... Wide ranging studies lend this volume conceptual richness, social and cultural texture, and geographical diversity.... The book never fails to sustain the readers’ interest.” -- Martin T.
