Geopolitics and Empire examines the relations between two phenomena
that are central to modern conceptions of international relations.
Geopolitics is the understanding of the inter-relations between
empires, states, individuals, private companies, NGOs and
multilateral agencies as these are expressed and shaped spatially.
This view of the world achieved notoriety as the scientific basis
claimed by Nazi ideologists of global conquest. However, under this
or another name, similar sets of ideas were important on both sides
of the Cold War and now have a renewed resonance in debates over
the New World Order of the so-called Global War on Terror.
Geopolitics is a way of describing the conflicts between states as
constrained by both physical and economic space. It makes such
conflicts seem inevitable.
Urbanising Britain brings together the work of some of the leading British historical geographers of the younger generation to consider nineteenth-century urbanization as a process, emphasizing the dimensions of class and community. The essays in this collection reflect the increasing use of social science concepts within the field of historical geography, and are organized to follow urbanization from its origins in migration, to its consequences in urban culture and public health. The contributions combine conceptual sophistication with original empirical research to present a series of important and innovative statements about the changing nature of the Victorian city, and reflect the value of a critical theoretical perspective, hitherto absent from much work in this area.
