THE GEOPOLITICS READER

This extensively revised second edition of The Geopolitics Reader draws together the most important political, geographical, historical and sociological readings of geopolitics in the early twenty first century.

The Reader draws on the most illuminating examples of imperial, Cold War, contemporary geopolitics, new environmental themes, global dangers and multiple resistances to the practices of geopolitics. The editors provide comprehensive introductions and critical comment at the beginning of each of the five parts and political cartoons are integrated throughout. Whilst this compendium of divergent viewpoints of global conflict and change has retained its five part structure, the selection of readings have been updated to account for recent developments in the critical study of geopolitics and the post 9/11 geopolitical landscape.

Including readings by Martin Luther King, Vaclav Havel, Osama Bin Laden and George Bush, this invaluable collection of readings introduces fresh perspectives on discourse, power, gender, knowledge and the political economy.
