“…Lin & Schofield, 2014). Of course, legal institutions will always attempt to delimit volumes into strata just as they will always attempt to delimit horizontal spaces into areas (see Bear & Eden, 2008;Peters, 2014;Steinberg, 2011c;Strandsbjerg, 2012). But the nature of territory as a political technology means that this process will always be met with a resistance that reflects underlying dynamics that are both social and geophysical.…”

“…Recognizing the inseparable relationship between legal definitions of territory and maps that often solidify claims of sovereignty, Jeppe Strandsbjerg explores the notion of “cartopolitics” or the “process where questions pertaining to sovereign control over space are decided by cartography and law” (, p. 818). He takes as his example the increasing and competing claims of northern states over the Arctic as the extent of sea ice continues to decline.…”

The word cartography literally means “to write the earth.” Just as there are many ways to write a story, there are many ways to depict the world, or some part of the world, in a map. In this article, we consider the possibility of a critical legal cartography. Towards this end, we explore the main arguments for and against “mapping law” from legal scholars, human geographers, and legal anthropologists. Questions like “what does it mean to map law?” and “can we map law?” are surprisingly complex and lead to other important questions about the relationships among law, space, and cartography. We look at the multiple strands of research and fields that touch on various aspects of law and how we understand the spatio‐legal world around us. We examine the relationship between cartography and criminology through the development of the field of crime mapping and the influence of cartographic innovations throughout history on our own understanding of the spatiality of the legal world around us. Finally, we turn to recent work in the area of critical cartography, critical geopolitical cartography, and recent innovations in the field of cartography itself to set the stage for our own call towards developing a critical legal cartography.

“…Thus, they should not be taken at face value, particularly so when they are reproduced by mass media and the public press in other countries (Baev, 2010;Trenin and Baev, 2010;Konyshev and Sergonin 2012;Strandsbjerg, 2012;Wang, 2013;Zysk, 2009;Åtland, 2014). Further, many of these announcements-particularly those originating from Russia and Canada-exhibit assertive rhetorics intended for a domestic audience and are often more related to prestige policy than realpolitik.…”
