The SAGE Handbook of Political Geography provides a highly
contextualised and systematic overview of the latest thinking and
research in the field. Edited by key scholars, with international
contributions from acknowledged authorities on the relevant
research, the Handbook is divided into six sections: Scope and
Development of Political Geography: the geography of knowledge,
conceptualisations of power and scale. Geographies of the State:
state theory, territory and central local relations, legal
geographies, borders. Participation and representation:
citizenship, electoral geography, media public space and social
movements. Political Geographies of Difference: class, nationalism,
gender, sexuality and culture. Geography Policy and Governance:
regulation, welfare, urban space, and planning. Global Political
Geographies: imperialism, post-colonialism, globalization,
environmental politics, IR, war and migration. The SAGE Handbook of
Political Geography is essential reading for upper level students
and scholars with an interest in politics and space.
Political geography concerns small-scale intrastate, regional
and individual activities, as well as large far-reaching processes
of global or international relationships. The field has developed
from late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century concerns with
geopolitics - the relationships between state power and territory -
to a diverse range of topics engendered by new world systems and
globalization.
In line with the tremendous growth in the study of political
geography since the 1970s, this impressive collection charts the
historical growth of the discipline, as well as the major themes of
post-1970s developments.
