Abstract

This article explores the role of infrastructure in globalization. The aim is to provide a historiographical overview. Telegraphy is used as a case-study. The overview shows that infrastructure is key to globalization. The pivotal role of infrastructure is captured in three conceptualizations. It can be studied by looking at ways in which 1) infrastructural landscapes generate and channel flows of people, goods, services, information and ideas; 2) migrants, business people, diplomats use infrastructures; 3) infrastructures constitute transnational regimes and a transnational society. The relation between globalization and infrastructure is pictured as a struggle between the ambitions of nation-states and this transnational society.
