An Introduction to Political Geography continues to provide a
broad-based introduction to contemporary political geography for
students following undergraduate degree courses in geography and
related subjects.
The text explores the full breadth of contemporary political
geography, covering not only traditional concerns such as the
state, geopolitics, electoral geography and nationalism; but also
increasing important areas at the cutting-edge of political
geography research including globalization, the geographies of
regulation and governance, geographies of policy formulation and
delivery, and themes at the intersection of political and cultural
geography, including the politics of place consumption, landscapes
of power, citizenship, identity politics and geographies of
mobilization and resistance.
This second edition builds on the strengths of the first. The
main changes and enhancements are:
- four new chapters on: political geographies of globalization,
geographies of empire, political geography and the environment and
geopolitics and critical geopolitics
- significant updating and revision of the existing chapters to
discuss key developments, drawing on recent academic contributions
and political events
- new case studies, drawing on an increasing number of
international and global examples
- additional boxes for key concepts and an enlarged
glossary.
As with the first edition, extensive use is made of case study
examples, illustrations, explanatory boxes, guides to further
reading and a glossary of key terms to present the material in an
easily accessible manner. Through employment of these techniques
this book introduces students to contributions from a range of
social and political theories in the context of empirical case
study examples. By providing a basic introduction to such concepts
and pointing to pathways into more specialist material, this book
serves, both as a core text for first- and second- year courses in
political geography, and as a resource alongside supplementary
textbooks for more specialist third year courses.
