Description

Carl Schmitt's Dialogues on Power and Space brings together several dimensions of his work in new ways, offering a fresh perspective on political power and geo-politics. Written during the early stages of the Cold War, these two short dialogues condense and rework key concepts in Schmitt's political theory, providing a basis for thinking through the historical role of human agency in relation to power and its new geographies. Schmitt develops a new dialectics of modern power and an original understanding of the global spatial transformations of the Cold War period. This book anticipates debates on the new geo-political possibilities and threats related to cosmic spaces, technological advances, and the existential predicament of the human in an increasingly multipolar world. A valuable contribution to Schmitt's intellectual life, these dialogues renew his engagement with questions of political power and provide a unique insight into his thought during a pivotal period.
