Reviews

Stuart Elden's The Birth of Territory is a wonderful achievement unmatched in previous writing on place, power, and politics. For it does nothing less than elucidate in remarkable detail a two-thousand-year history of the conditions for the very possibility of its own subject--the idea of territory itself. That is what makes it transcendental history of the first order. --David N. Livingstone, Queen's University Belfast<br>--David N. Livingstone, Queen's University Belfast
