Abstract
AbstractThis chapter discusses how the concept of territory is key to understanding contemporary democratic politics. Assuming its polysemic meaning and its different uses of the concept in humanities and social sciences, the heuristic strength of territory is identified in conjunction with a set of related concepts. Throughout an interdisciplinary dialogue, it is explored how the concept of territory takes on relevance in relation to space, political institution, strategy, appropriation, place, borders and networks.
