There has been important previous work that has pursued such questions across a range of sites and epochs, including early twentieth-century Britain ( Dickinson & Howarth, 1933), Cold War America (Farish, 2005), post-1991 Europe (Toal, 2003) and globalizing North America in the late 1990s (Lewis & Wigen, 1997). At the heart of our discussion though, are the ways in which the study of areas remains imbricated with questions of geography and geopolitics.
