      abstract = {"The writings of Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) are now  indissociable from both an historical period and a  contemporary moment. He will forever be remembered for his  association with the National Socialists of 1930s Germany,  and as the figure whose writings on sovereignty, politics,  and the law provided justification for authoritarian,  decisional states. Yet at the same time, the post-September  2001 world is one in which a wide range of scholars have  increasingly turned to Schmitt to understand a world of  "with us or against us" Manichaeism, spaces of exception  which seem to be placed outside the law by legal mechanisms  themselves, and the contestation of a uni-polar, post-1989  world. This attention marks out Schmitt as one of the  foremost emerging theorists in critical theory and assures  his work a large and growing audience. The aim of this book  is to bring together geographers, and Schmitt experts who  are attuned to the spatial dimensions of his work, to  discuss The Nomos of the Earth in the International Law of  the Jus Publicum Europaeum (Schmitt, 1950 [2003]). This  longest of Schmitts published works saw him expand his  interests from domestic to international law"--},
