Geopolitics; Political geography

This innovative and thought-provoking text will teach you about the diverse and increasingly expansive sub-discipline of geopolitics. Divided into three sections, Political Geography draws on case studies from a diverse range of scales, contexts, and demographics, to introduce you to the key Approaches, concepts, and futures of geopolitics.

You will cover an extensive range of key topics in Political Geography, from feminist geopolitics to non-human worlds, and nationalism to peace and resistance. Throughout this first edition you will apply various theoretical lenses, utilise a wide range of examples both past and present, and draw on cutting edge scholarship to reinvigorate your understanding of important themes such as the state, borders, and territory.

Based on the award-winning course at RHUL, Politcal Geography includes a variety of sites, spaces, materials, and images alongside 'In the field' tips, ideas for practical dissertation research, and tasks to facilitate active follow-on learning. Case studies, key terms, key questions and learning exercises, and annotated readings are included throughout every chapter to aid understanding and help you to engage and reflect on the content.

Designed as a core text for undergraduates and an introductory text for postgraduates with an interest in Political Geography.

Dr Rachael Squire is a Lecturer in Human Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her research draws on feminist geopolitics to explore questions relating to the sea, territory, volume, and most recently earth futures and Anthropocene geographies. Rachael has published in a range of journals in addition to her monograph Undersea Geopolitics: Sealab, Science, and the Cold War. Her most recent work explores the political, cultural, and social geographies of public aquariums in a time of environmental crisis. Dr Anna Jackman is a Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Reading. Anna is a feminist political geographer interested in technological visibilities, volumes, relations and futures. Her research approaches these issues through the lens of the drone, exploring the ‘unmanning’ of everyday, urban and military life in the drone age. Anna’s Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)-funded research project ‘Diversifying Drone Stories’ engaged with a range of stakeholders (including emergency services, lawyers, industry, local authorities, pilots, and members of the public) to explore the diverse use, perception, and impact of drones in changing UK airspace.

Reviews for Political Geography: Approaches, Concepts, Futures

Squire and Jackman have produced the fresh take on political geography for which undergraduates have been waiting. Political geography is more than ever in the news, and students looking for the conceptual tools to make sense of it need look no further: from decolonisation movements, to our relationships to technology and the digital, to the contestation of popular culture, this book has it all. And crucially, it has hope – something that can be in short supply these days. -- Jason Dittmer This impressive textbook makes important and complex ideas understandable and interesting [to students]. It strikes the delicate balance between political urgency and pastoral sensitivity, presenting important topics of violence and inequality alongside hopeful resources for peaceful and sustainable futures. -- Nick Megoran
