From the analysis of state territoriality to the geographies of empire, from the study of electoral phenomena to policies for environmental protection, from the microgeographies of local identity to the complex mechanisms of global governance, Introduction to political geography offers tools for understanding and interpreting the power relations, conflicts and gaps that characterize the contemporary world.
