商品簡介
Painter (U. of Wales), with Jeffrey, updates this text infusing political science into political geography to account for the rapid changes occurring therein. The chapters draw from social and cultural theory to examine space, power, civil actions, and politics as they define and are defined by maps. The nine chapters consider the topics of: state formation; the welfare, work, and models of social regulation; democracy, citizenship, and elections; politics and the city; identity politics and social movements; nationalism and regionalism; imperialism and postcolonialism; and geopolotics and anti-geopolitics.
