Dramatic changes have occurred in the political world arena since the publication of the last edition of this classic text. New states have arrived on the world stage and as we approach the Millennium the geopolitical order of the 90s continues to transform. Political Geography relates these global processes to day-to-day experience, fully integrating diverse politics across geographical scales and providing an essential introduction to the growth and impact of globalization.By setting these global changes into a theoretical context within a world-systems framework, they are made understandable within the overall historical and geographical pattern of world political development. In the spirit of previous editions the text is fully updated with new illustrations and global case studies, as well as an entirely new chapter on the development of identity politics.

  • A new chapter on the development and importance of identity politics
  • Imperialism and the increased divergence of North and South
  • Territorial states and the debates over the role of the state
  • Nationalism and the meaning of its contemporary resurgence
  • The global spread of democracy
  • Localities and the destruction of places through restructuring
  • Comprehensive analysis of 'globalization'
  • This fourth edition remains a core text for students of political geography, international relations and political science and all social scientists adopting a world systems approach
