Territoriality is a key concept in how we understand the interaction between governmentality and the ways in which different communites use and dwell upon the land. However, it is also an unexplored area of inquiry - certainly in terms of comparative ethnography scholarship. This volume addresses the concept of territoriality, providing a broad spectrum of ethnographic case studies of spatial governance, shedding light on different forms of spatial organization and on how modern states have interacted with traditional societies' ways of using and managing territory.
