It examines classic concerns such as the state, geopolitics, electoral geography, and nationalism while extending coverage to globalization, regulation and governance, policy formation and delivery, and the intersection of political and cultural geography. The second edition adds new chapters, updated scholarship, new case studies, and learning aids including concept boxes and an enlarged glossary.","An excellent introductory guide to the complexities of political geography. Combining discussion of events, theories and the discipline’s self understanding, it manages to be clear enough for undergraduates while giving their lecturers much to think about.  \nProfessor Stuart Elden, University of Warwick, UK and Monash University, Australia  \nThis richly illustrated text on political geography will be invaluable for both geographers and other social scientists. It usefully demonstrates the complex associations between various forms of power, geography and socio-spatial relations. The authors bring together the traditions of political geography with more contemporary approaches and themes. A major strength of this book compared with many other textbooks is that it provides the reader with strong links to social and political theory. The book is very clearly written and benefits from numerous useful examples and case studies.  \nProfessor Anssi Paasi, University of Oulu, Finland  \nPolitical Geography has undergone a renaissance during the past two decades. This important introductory text for students brings them up to date with the key themes ofthe discipline, linking the global with the local and the territorial with the political. The authors successfully cross the disciplines between Geography, Political Science and International Relations. Students desiring a deeper understanding of the contemporary geopolitical change should be reading this.  \nProfessor David Newman, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel  \nThis is a lively, well-written and up-to-date introduction to political geography. The authors are all leadings scholars in the field and their accessible approach provides an excellent overview of this rapidly developing subject. The treatment is thorough and thoughtful, and the book is packed with ideas and fascinating case studies.  \nProfessor Joe Painter, University of Durham, UK  \nThis page intentionally left blank  \nAN INTRODUCTION TO POLITICAL  \nGEOGRAPHY: SPACE, PLACE AND POLITICS  \nSecond Edition  \nAn Introduction to Political Geography continues to provide a broad-based introduction to contemporary political geography for students following undergraduate degree courses in geography and related subjects.  \nThe text explores the full breadth of contemporary political geography, covering not only traditional concerns such as the state, geopolitics, electoral geography and nationalism; but also increasing important areas at the cutting-edge of political geography research including globalization, the geographies of regulation and governance, geographies of policy formulation and delivery, and themes at the intersection of political and cultural geography, including the politics of place consumption, landscapes of power, citizenship, identity politics and geographies of mobilization and resistance.  \nThis second edition builds on the strengths of the first. The main changes and enhancements are:  \n• four new chapters on: political geographies of globalization, geographies of empire, political geography and the environment and geopolitics and critical geopolitics  \n• significant updating and revision of the existing chapters to discuss key developments, drawing on recent academic contributions and political events  \n• new case studies, drawing on an increasing number of global examples  \n• additional boxes for key concepts and an enlarged glossary.  \nAs 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 firstand second year courses in
