Abstract
This introductory essay aims to make a debate on the relationship between transport infrastructures and state. Since these kinds of infrastructure can intensify the compression of time and space, states intentionally utilize them to fulfill the status of the monopoly of legitimated violence over a certain territory and population. Meanwhile, the infrastructures enable the states to broadcast their power to the remote areas and enhance their potential of taxations and industrial development. However, investment in a network of transport infrastructure seems to be costly, so the states have to extract and appropriate economic resources from non-state actors that lead to the conflict between state and other social forces. Consequently, the conflict shapes a variety of patterns of transportation development in different spatio-temporal conditions. This essay concludes by applying case studies of infrastructure development as an issue of discussions on the fundamental characteristic of the states, interaction of states and other social actors, and the interwoven relations between national and class interests.
