      Introduction

       Bernard DEBARBIEUX and Irène HIRT

       University of Geneva, Switzerland

      The focus on the relationship between mapping1, on the one hand, and politics or power, on the other hand, is certainly not new, or even recent. For centuries, particularly in the Christian, Chinese and Arab-Muslim worlds, the people who commissioned maps (princes, ministers or heads of state) and the cartographers clearly believed that maps must, first and foremost, serve the objectives of knowledge and the control of territories by sovereigns, armies and state administrations.
