The so-called ?'spatial turn?' in the social sciences has led to an
increased interest in what can be called the spatialities of power,
or the ways in which power as a medium for achieving goals is
related to where it takes place. This unique and intriguing
Handbook argues that the spatiality of power is never singular and
easily modeled according to straightforward theoretical
bullet-points, but instead is best approached as plural,
contextually emergent and relational. The Handbook on the
Geographies of Power consists of a series of cutting edge chapters
written by a diverse range of leading geographers working both
within and beyond political geography. It is organized thematically
into the main areas in which contemporary work on the geographies
of power is concentrated: bodies, economy, environment and energy,
and war. The Handbook maintains a careful connection between theory
and empirics, making it a valuable read for students, researchers
and scholars in the fields of political and human geography. It
will also appeal to social scientists more generally who are
interested in contemporary conceptions of power. Contributors
