Opis

This book provides an archaeology of field, maps the flows of various frameworks of analysis into (and out of) popular geopolitics, and charts a course forward for the discipline. It explores the real-world implications of popular culture, with a particular focus on an evolving interdisciplinary nature of popular geopolitics with interrelated disciplines of media, cultural and gender studies.
