This extensively revised second edition of The Geopolitics Reader
draws together the most influential and significant geopolitical
readings from the last hundred years. A compendium of divergent
viewpoints of global conflict and change, it includes readings from
Halford Mackinder, Theodore Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, George Kennan,
Samuel Huntington, Edward Said, Osama Bin Laden and American
neoconservatives. It draws on the most illuminating examples of
imperial, Cold War and contemporary geopolitics, as well as new
environmental themes, global dangers and multiple resistances to
the practices of geopolitics. Whilst retaining a coherent five part
structure, the selection of readings has been updated to account
for recent developments in the critical study of geopolitics and
the post 9/11 geopolitical landscape (including issues in
technoscience, biowarfare, oil politics, and terrorism), and key
questions address issues of the transformed nature of threats in
the new millennium, the debate over the hegemonic position of the
US, and non-American perspectives on contemporary geopolitics.
Skilfully guiding the reader through the divergent viewpoints of
global conflict and change, the editors, all leading geopolitical
authorities, provide comprehensive introductions and critical
commentaries at the start of each section. Illustrated with
provocative cartoons, this second edition of The Geopolitics Reader
is the ideal textbook for introductory classes on international
relations, world politics, political geography and, of course,
geopolitics, provoking lively discussion of how questions of
discourse and power are at the centre of the critical study of
geopolitics.
