This widely revised second edition of the Geopolitics Reader combines the most influential and important geopolitical readings of the last 100 years. A compendium of the various perspectives of global conflict and change, including readings from Halford McKinder, Theodore Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, George Kennan, Samuel Huntington, Edward Said, Osama bin Laden and the neo-conservatives.
It draws on the most impressive examples of imperialism, the cold war and contemporary geopolitics, as well as new environmental themes, global threats and multiple resistances of geopolitical practices. With a coherent five-part structure, the selection of readings was updated to take into account recent developments in a critical study of geopolitics and geopolitical landscape beyond 9/11 (including issues related to information technology, biotourism, oil policy and terrorism).
Key questions address the changing nature of threats in the new millennium, the debate about the dominant US position, and non-American perspectives on contemporary geopolitics. By skillfully guiding the reader through the divergent views of global conflict and change, editors, all leading geopolitical authorities, offer comprehensive introductions and critical comments at the beginning of each section. Illustrated with provocative cartoons, this second edition of Geopolitics Reader is the ideal textbook for introductory lessons on international relations, global politics, geopolitics, and, of course, geopolitics, which provokes lively debate on how questions of discourse and power are shaped into a critical study of geopolitics ..
