Globalisation has become an omnipresent certainty. But how accurate is the concept of "globalisation", when at the same time national borders are being enforced and transnational free trade zones are being expanded, when territories are being overcome on different scales and at the same time territorial boundaries are being redefined? Understanding current changes as a reconfiguration of spaces enables the analysis and discussion of contradictory, tension-filled and conflictual spatial processes and their everyday experience. The interdisciplinary contributions of this volume present theoretical and empirical results of the Berlin Collaborative Research Centre 1265 "Re-Figuration of Spaces".
