"There are those who argue that the nation state has come to an end and that we are entering a new phase in the territorial ordering of the world system. Others hold that boundaries have disappeared and that a globalised world has no need or use for artificial, man-made territorial boundaries. This book seeks to determine the extent to which states and boundaries have in fact disappeared, or are simply changing their functions as we move from an area of fixed territories into a post-Westphalian territorial system."--BOOK JACKET.
