Abstract

This chapter employs the framework of spatiality (Jessop et al. 2008: 392) to indicate specific spatial dimensions (or ‘frames’) in the organisation of territories, places or networks within and across them. This approach focuses on the dynamism of the considered space by questioning the organisation of socio-spatial relations, processes of political identity formation and how these interact with the connections among different levels of government. This theoretical viewpoint allows us to examine the genesis of mutually constitutive networks within and across the Irish Sea space. The spatial frames mobilised in post-Brexit discourse across ‘these islands’ will profoundly affect the nature of political communities within the area and the possible elaboration of new and imaginative post-Brexit political pathways that could maintain and nurture relationships across the Irish Sea border.
