Abstract

This is an exploratory paper about the geography and history of space in Bhutan. It investigates space in relation to the reach, power and influence of the state and how this has related to state formation processes and social relations. There are two related levels of analysis. At the more macro level we look at Bhutan as an entity within a wider historical and regional context. The second but related level of analysis considers aspects of the emerging state system in Bhutan and its relations to its people.
