Abstract

Putting the State on the map is an extraordinary ontological action. Cartography is the form representing modern political power through the territorial State. Geopolitical maps provide the way through which new forms of political power change the relation between spatial forms and its representation. In this regard the construction of the European Union is a clear case of study conveying the making process of a supra-national space, and the progressive overlapping of that political space on the natural European geography.
