Description and Table of Contents
Description
An Introduction to Political Geography provides a broad-based introduction to how power interacts with space; how place influences political identities; and how policy creates and remoulds territory. By pushing back the boundaries of what we conventionally understand as political geography, the book emphasizes the interactions between power, politics and policy, space, place and territory in different geographical contexts.
This is both an essential text for political geographers and also a valuable resource for students of related fields with an interest in politics and geography.
