Questions of the interaction between politics and geography permeate much of contemporary life. Providing a broad-based introduction to contemporary political geography, this excellent book examines the inter-relationship between politics and geography. Outlining the full breadth of contemporary political geography, and pushing back the boundaries of conventional understandings, authors Jones, Jones and Woods cover a rich and diverse range of topics. They explore:- how power interacts with space- how place influences political identities- how policy creates and remoulds territory.This book addresses not only traditional concerns such as state formation, geopolitics, electoral geography and nationalism, but also newer themes at the cutting-edge of political geography research, including the geographies of regulation and governance, policy formulation and delivery, the politics of place consumption, landscapes of power, identity politics and geographies of resistance.Both an essential text for political geographers and a valuable resource for those studying related fields, this comprehensive text combines discussions of cutting-edge conceptual debates with international case-studies, clarifying illustrations and explanatory boxes.

Old powers are falling. New states are emerging. The gap between East and West is narrowing. What are the problems facing the emerging new world order? Can action at the community level affect global issues?An Introduction to Political Geography , in its first edition helped shape the study of the discipline. Entirely revised and updated, this new edition explores political and geographic change within the same accessible framework. John Short emphasises the need for a fluid approach to the study of the international order, the nation state, as well as social movements.Though the world is becoming smaller, popular access to power remains an elusive goal. An integrated world economy may well perpetuate past inequalities just as political systems continue to work by exclusion. The global village and the ecological approach this implies, must be paid particular attention when examining the political geography of participation. An Introduction to Political Geography reviews the history of the rise and fall of centres of power, draws on a wide range of detailed international case studies to illustrate current trends, and discusses future developments.
