Abstract

Territory and equality are the main topics of this paper: the territory enjoys a “manifold epistemic status” that varies according to the vantage point of the science investigating it. The meaning here is that of “state sovereignty”, of a politically governed normative space, as opposed to the physical and geographical space of the Earth. The notion of equality is that of the rights of man, as enshrined in the more purely political and social interpretations of the American and French Declarations of 1776 and 1789. It is thus the modern equality before the law, in the historical sense that burst onto the world scene with the first French Constitutions. The essay will have to come to grips with the whole issue of globalization, and in particular with its economic and financial dimension, the yardstick by which the topics facing us are inevitably gauged. The weakened ties between the State’s territory and the economy have seriously undermined the State’s redistributive function and as a result, the space of state experience is “increasingly a battleground for inequalities”. From economic and financial globalization and its effects on the other two concepts – territory and equality – the analysis must begin, now that much of the “conceptual fog”, developed by Erhard Denninger, has cleared.
