Sinopse
Is there a geography to world politics?
How can world politics be rethought now the Cold War is over?
World politics is rarely considered in visual terms, yet the "world" in world politics is crucial to how the "politics" is conducted. Today's world politics stems from Europeans rising to a position of global power and imposing their ways and views on others. They did this through visualizing the world as a whole, defining world regions as modern or backward, seeing nation-statehood as the highest and best form of political organization and viewing the world politics as the outcome of the pursuit of primacy by competing states.
In Geopolitics, John Agnew explores the elements of geopolitical imagination and how they have come together in different historical and modern epochs. Exemplified by topical issues such as the re-integration of Hong Kong into China, the threatened break-up of states such as Canada, Russia and Spain, and the proposed expansion of the powers of the EU, this book provides a critical introduction to current debates over "geopolitics" and world politics.
