Our world of increasing and varied conflicts is confusing and
threatening to citizens of all countries, as they try to understand
its causes and consequences. However, how and why war occurs, and
peace is sustained, cannot be understood without realizing that
those who make war and peace must negotiate a complex world
political map of sovereign spaces, borders, networks of
communication, access to nested geographic scales, and patterns of
resource distribution. This book takes advantage of a diversity of
geographic perspectives as it analyzes the political processes of
war and their spatial expression.
Contributors to the volume examine particular manifestations of war
in light of nationalism, religion, gender identities, state
ideology, border formation, genocide, spatial rhetoric, terrorism,
and a variety of resource conflicts. The final section on the
geography of peace covers peace movements, diplomacy, the expansion
of NATO, and the geography of post-war reconstruction. Case studies
of numerous conflicts include Israel and Palestine, Afghanistan,
Northern Ireland, Bosnia-Herzogovina, West Africa, and the attacks
of September 11, 2001.
