This article interrogates the concepts in this journal's title and, drawing on the strategic-relational approach in social theory, explores their interconnections. This conceptual re-articulation is then contextualized in regard to the European Union as a political regime that serves as a real-time laboratory for experiments in government and governance with implications for redesigning polities, politics, and policies, especially in response to symptoms of political and policy failures and other crises. Mobilizing the territory-place-network-scale schema, and drawing on critical governance studies, this article offers an alternative account of these developments based on (1) their sociospatial and temporal complexities, (2) recognition that sociospatial relations are objects and means of government and governance and not just sites where such practices occur, and (3) extension of this approach to multispatial meta-governance, i.e., attempts to govern the government and governance of sociospatial relations. The article ends with suggestions for future research on the state and state power, governance of the European Union, and the role of Territory, Politics, Governance as a major forum for future discussion on multispatial metagovernance. 2 Territory, Politics, Governance and Multispatial Metagovernance Bob Jessop This article addresses some theoretical and empirical connections among the terms, Territory, Politics, Governance, in the light of the strategic-relational approach to structure-agency dialectics as developed in sociology and political science and applied by some geographers. In the inaugural issue, its editor described the journal's remit as 'territorial politics, spaces of governance, and the political organization of space' (AGNEW 2013, p. 1). Yet, on my reading, these three themes are rarely investigated together in TPG and their mutual implications are neglected. I suggest ways to remedy these deficits below. First, for territorial politics, I supplement the Continental European traditions of general state theory and classical geopolitics by noting the non-territorial aspects of state power and adding the role of state projects and political imaginaries. Second, I consider the kind of politics, whether territorial or non-territorial, at stake in these areas. Specifically, I use the polity, politics, and policy triplet to explore how state power reorders the polity, which is the strategically-selective terrain on which politics occurs as well as a crucial site for contesting policies. Third, for governance, inspired by Antonio GRAMSCI (1975) and Michel FOUCAULT (2007, 2008), I redefine state power as 'government + governance in the shadow of hierarchy'. The conjunction of the first two terms in this redefinition signifies that spaces of governance are not exclusively territorial and reference to hierarchy indicates the key role of state power in metagovernance, that is, the governance of governance. This has various forms, including, notably, what, after Andrew DUNSIRE (1996), I term collibration....
