| dc.description.abstract | This paper aims to discuss the theoretical and methodological relationship between territorial justice and territorial governance. In accordance to Mustafa Dikeç, in the dialectical formulation of the spatiality of injustice and the injustice of spatiality, the former notion implies that justice has a spatial dimension to it, and therefore, that a spatial perspective might be used to discern injustice in space. The latter, on the other hand, implies existing structures in their capacities to produce and reproduce injustice through space. In this sense, the notion of territorial (in)justice sets the parameters by which the territorial governance may be oriented. How, then, do these two notions – territorial justice and territorial governance – come together as part of an emancipatory territorial politics? Although territorial justice can be understood as a liberal notion - as governance too - we intent to reconvey it towards a critical perspective. In this sense, governance must be placed in the frame of understanding the state as a contested socio-territorial ensemble, and, pushing this argument further, the socio-territorial restructuring of the state is associated with the emergence of new spaces and scales of governance and new forms of state territoriality. In general terms, territorial governance could be defined as the process of the coordination of actors in order to develop social, intellectual, political and material capital, and of territorial development based on the creation of sustainable territorial cohesion at different levels. In our standpoint, it’s pressing to place and face territorial governance as an ethical issue. | |
