There has never been a more exciting time for the study of Political Geography. In recent years the world political map has been transformed as the ’certainties’ of the Cold War geopolitical order disintegrate and new states arrive on the world stage. // The third edition of this classic text has been completely rewritten to encompass these dramatic changes and to ensure it remains the best political geography text on the market. By setting these massive 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. // Key topics include: // • Geopolitics and the question of the post Cold War order // • 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 // This third edition remains a core text for students of political geography, international relations and political science and all social scientists adopting the world-systems approach. // Peter Taylor is Professor of Political Geography at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
