内容説明

As the 20th century draws to its close, the importance of a geographical perspective in the interpretation of global political structure and change has assumed an even greater importance than hitherto. In this major text, Professor Taylor, a leading theoretician and practitioner of modern geopolitical ideas, provides an original framework of analysis in which leading political geographical scholars assess in global terms the past, present and future elements of the world political system and in particular the reality of the "new world order" of the 21st century. Each major chapter is an original contribution on a key theme from leading Anglo-American workers in political geography, and the book concludes with an invited selection of essays from scholars from outside the Anglo-American tradition offering alternative viewpoints. In summary, this will be a key text in political geography for the next decade, setting the agenda for teaching and research, and will be read by geographers, political scientists, historians and international relations experts.
