Territorial politics is one of the most dynamic areas in contemporary political
science. Devolution, regional government and federal reform have reshaped the
architecture of government at sub-state and transnational levels, with profound
implications for public policy, political competition, democracy and the nature
of political community. Important policy fields such as health, education, agri-
culture, environment and economic development are managed at new spatial
levels. Regions, stateless nations and metropolitan areas have become political
arenas, contested by old and new political parties and interest groups. All of this
is shaped by transnational integration and the rise of supranational and interna-
tional bodies like the European Union, the North American Free Trade Area and
the World Trade Organization.
The C omparative Territorial Politics series brings together monographs, edited
collections and area studies that further scholarship in the field of territorial
politics and policy, decentralization, federalism and regionalism. The series
aims to be an outlet for innovative research in this area, grounded in political
science, political geography, law, international relations and sociology.

Acknowledgments
La mia tesi è un mostro informe che crescit eundo et quod crescit non it. Ma
io la lascio fare di suo capo, (Carlo Michelstaedter)
The research and writing process of this book spanned several years. It
evolved from a couple of conference papers, through my dissertation,
into the present book. When I embarked on this long journey, I thought
that I already knew where it would take me. Fortunately, I was wrong.
Looking back, I feel very privileged to have been able to live in different
places and meet people who pushed me to rethink my position on a
number of crucial issues. As a result, this book is very different and,
hopefully, better than it otherwise would have been.
One of the most pleasant features of finishing a book is the chance
to thank all those scholars, colleagues and friends who have left their
imprints on this book as our paths crossed. Beginning in the present,
I shall thank Hans Vorländer for being “responsible” for my coming
to Dresden, for his steady support and for providing me a supportive
environment in which to complete the manuscript. During these last
years I have been surrounded (in and beyond the department) by an
incredibly collegial group of work colleagues, who were supportive of
me in so many ways. Among them, I am particularly indebted to Mark
Arenhövel, Maritta Brückner, Kerstin Budde, Lucilla Guidi, Maik Herold,
Christoph Lundgreen, Jan Röder, Steven Schäller, Nele Schneidereit,
Daniel Schulz, Julia Schulze Wessel and Christian Wöhst. I wish to
thank also our student assistants, in particular Sabine Adrian, Hannah
Eitel and Caroline Path, who read various parts of the manuscript and
pointed out where changes were needed. Thank you also to my teaching
assistant, Francesca Barp, during the last months before publication, for
her enthusiastic support of my teaching and for relieving me of a number
of burdens, so that I could concentrate on reviewing the manuscript.
Perhaps the greatest intellectual debt is to all those conversations that I
have had throughout the past ten years with friends and colleagues from
all over the world. I would like to thank the participants of the (SIAS)
Summer Institute on “Citizenship and Migration” with whom I spent
two weeks in Berlin and another two weeks in Palo Alto (supported by
the Wissenschaftskolleg Berlin, the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung
and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation). Special thanks are owed to the
