The Geopolitics Reader

de Gearóid Ó Tuathail

The Geopolitics Reader offers an interdisciplinary sourcebook of the most important political, geographical, historical and sociological readings of geopolitics in the late twentieth century. The Reader is divided into five parts which draw on the most illuminating examples of imperial, Cold War, contemporary geopolitics, new environmental themes and multiple resistances to the practices of geopolitics. The editors provide comprehensive introductions and critical comment at the beginning of each part, and visual 'geopolitical texts' in the form of political cartoons are integrated throughout.Encouraging exploration of divergent viewpoints of global conflict and change, this invaluable compendium includes readings by Martin Luther King, Vaclav Havel and George Bush.
