Opis

An entirely new text for students of political geography following in the footsteps of the author's highly successful Modern Political Geography. Unlike other texts in this field it takes a broad and inclusive view of its subject matter, a pluralist and humanistic approach, and combines coverage of theory and empirical developments drawn from a wide range of countries throughout.
