(…) The City's and intervenors' argument that plaintiffs' challenge nevertheless is not ripe is based on the assumption that Article VII, in fact, does not impose a quantity-based fee. In making that argument, however, the City and intervenors merely assume away the very issue in contention, namely, whether the Initiative--independent of any future action by the Toxics Board--requires the imposition of a quantity-based fee. That question is not hypothetical, and its answer requires no speculation as to future facts. Either the Initiative on its face conflicts with state law, or it does not. Plaintiffs' challenge to the validity of the fee is ripe for review.

*********

After a rather general overview of how political theories and international relations literature have tended to assume away some politically relevant spatial implications of the transnationalization and deterritorialization processes, I shall pay specific attention to the world-systems approach. I shall argue that in order to face the political and theoretical challenges of the futures of the world-system, the modernist map of political space used by the traditional world-systems approach needs to be redrawn. I use the term "modernist" to refer to the territorialist and single-perspectival conception of social space. I shall conclude with some remarks on the importance of imagining institutional features of transnational futures.
