这篇特刊的导言阐述了“基础设施前沿”概念的一些理论基础。我们开始将基础设施视为权力的物质地理，然后继续强调更广泛的秩序制定和抵抗过程如何在国家的物质边缘发挥作用：交通和通信网络逐渐消失的地方，让位于不太容易远程控制的地形。然后，我们将本特刊撰稿中的见解整合在一起，展示基础设施前沿的概念如何通过将不稳定的基础设施和不稳定的基础设施之间的相互作用有效地干预有关物质地理、边境和边疆的更广泛讨论。权力配置处于利益中心的国家边缘。
This introduction to the special issue lays out some of the theoretical underpinnings of the notion of the ‘infrastructural frontier’. We begin by considering infrastructures as material geographies of power, before moving on to highlight how broader processes of order-making and resistance often become operational at the material edges of states: the places where transport and communication networks peter out and give way to terrains less amenable to remote control. Weaving together insights from the contributions to this special issue, we then show how the concept of the infrastructural frontier productively intervenes in the wider discussion on material geographies, frontiers, and borderlands, by placing the interplay between unsettled infrastructures and unsettled configurations of power at the edge of the state at the center of interest.
