Production of space, defined as the spatial dynamism in the politics of accumulation and legitimation, is one of the most productive yet under-appreciated conceptualizations in the studies of social transformation. Territoriality, defined as spatial strategies to consolidate power and secure autonomy, is one of the most fundamental yet much neglected agenda in the literature on China’s contemporary development. This workshop focuses on these twin concepts in order to examine the decisive role of space and territoriality in the restructuring of state power and the reconfiguration of the relationship between the state and society in China today.
