Although political scientists have used spatial statistical models in their research for only about ten years, their use has quickly advanced in terms of both the breadth of substantive areas in which researchers apply them and the sophistication with which they specify and interpret them. The collection of articles in this special edition are indicative of both of these trends. They provide a strong set of examples of how scholars can bring theories about spatial relationships across units into all of the major subfields of the discipline.

The articles in this collection were first brought together at a conference held at Texas A&M University on February 21–23, 2013. The conference was organized and co-sponsored by the European Union Center and the Program in Scientific Political Methodology, both of which are located in the Department of Political Science at Texas A&M University. The guest editor thanks Ann Klaus for her hard work organizing this conference.
