Abstract

Excerpt: Prior to the book Political Spaces and Global War, Carlo Galli, professore ordinario at the University of Bologna, was only accessible to the English-speaking audience through references on his extensive work on the political thought of Carl Schmitt. However, in his first book translated to English, Schmitt’s conceptualization of the “political” was marginal in Galli’s discussion on the spatiality of contemporary politics. Galli argues that the politico-spatial categories of modernity—Schmitt’s friend-enemy distinction included—are now exhausted and rendered void by globalization.
