Abstract
The geography of political units has been rapidly transformed over the past two decades. Along with increasing globalisation a worldwide re-ordering of power set in the 1980s. It accelerated to such an extent after the end of the Cold War as to dramatically and permanently change the postwar order established for many decades. With the cessation of East-West confrontation, much more came to an end than merely the geopolitical constellation of the two power blocs that for more than forty years had determined the 'security discourse' and the global geographies of power and fear, of rivalry and alliance.
