On the Morphology of International Systems: Political Space as Structure and Process in Early Medieval Europe

Year: 2004

Type: report

Abstract: This workingpaper suggests that political space is best analyzed as a set of processes, rather than as a structure.Any structural conceptualization of political space inevitably de-temporilize and de-historisize space, thus making it impossible to analyze change.The paper reviews the predominant conceptualizations of space in International Relations, and offer a processual alternative.This alternative focus on release of resources, discursive formations, and nesting as processes.The paper illustrate the arguments made with the formation of political space in early mediveal Europe.
