Abstract

Identity and territory are inseparably linked. Indeed, in a topologist’s puzzle, they can be said to underlie each other. We are where we came from, recently or originally, and we were there in the first place because of who we are. Who and where we are in turn determine our place in the world, and our ability to maintain or to challenge that place. Space and self are thus the basic ingredients of international (and many other) relations, with ideological relations providing the fourth dimension to the standard three geographic dimensions, both types of relations subsuming the time dimension through which they derive and project their meaning.
