  • Politics, geography, and political geography: power, resources, institutions, and the history of political geography
  • 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
Comprehensive, accessible, and illustrated with real world examples, Political Geography provides undergraduates with a thorough understanding of the relationship between geography and politics.
