An Introduction to Political Geography
By Rhys Jones
0 - Default Title
Description
This second edition builds on the strengths of the first. The main changes and enhancements are:
four new chapters on: political geographies of globalization, geographies of empire, political geography and the environment and geopolitics and critical geopolitics
significant updating and revision of the existing chapters to discuss key developments, drawing on recent academic contributions and political events
new case studies, drawing on an increasing number of international and global examples
additional boxes for key concepts and an enlarged glossary.
As with the first edition, extensive use is made of case study examples, illustrations, explanatory boxes, guides to further reading and a glossary of key terms to present the material in an easily accessible manner. Through employment of these techniques this book introduces students to contributions from a range of social and political theories in the context of empirical case study examples. By providing a basic introduction to such concepts and pointing to pathways into more specialist material, this book serves, both as a core text for first and second year courses in political geography, and as a resource alongside supplementary textbooks for more specialist third year courses.
