Synopsis
Revised and updated, this is a new edition of a core undergraduate resource on political geography. Unique in the teaching literature, Political Geography retains its focus on the social and cultural, while systematically giving an overview of the entire discipline. The text explains:

- State formation: classical views as well as recent work on governance and governmentality
- Welfare state to workfare state: the restructuring of present state strategies
- Democracy citizenship, law: different models of democracy from Held to Mouffe; democracy citizenship, law in European and global context
- Electoral geography
- Identity and social movements: the relation between identity and political action
- Nationalism and regionalism: ethnicity, national identity, "otherness"
- Imperialism and post-colonialism: the theoretical literature from World Systems Theory to post-structuralist accounts
- Geopolitics: the political, economic, and strategic significance of geography, illustrated with examples from recent world politics
