To make sense of the continuities and disruptions within this political world requires a strongly focused yet flexible text. This new (sixth) edition of Peter Taylor's seminal Political Geography proves itself fit for the task of coping with a frequently and rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. Co-authored again with Colin Flint, it retains the intellectual clarity, rigour and vision of previous editions, based upon its world-systems approach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReflecting the backdrop of the world against which it is written, this is the Empire, globalization and climate change edition in which global political change is being driven by three related processes: the role of cities in economic and political networks; the problems facing territorially based notions of democratic politics and citizenship, and the ongoing spectre of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew to this edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA new section on citizenship \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA new section on social movements \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmphasis on the key role of world cities in shaping the political geography of the world \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA prologue that provides a brief and pointed history of political geography \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn epilogue that summarizes the framework adopted throughout the book and assists readers in applying it to interpret their changing world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey features \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive coverage of and commentary upon the principal events and challenges of today's world - political violence and terrorism, imperialism, ecological disaster, economic inequity, and exclusionary and fundamentalist attitudes towards nationalism and religion \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase studies help ground the theoretical argument in the real world \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcise vignettes show events of key political importance as presented in the media \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid- and end-of-chapter summaries make the information more digestible and navigable \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivities and further reading to guide readers through their own exploration of the book's topics \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA glossary of key terms to aid understanding and help facilitate revision of the subject.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sixth edition remains a core text for students of political geography, geopolitics, international relations and political science, as well as more broadly across human geography and the social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Flint is Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Taylor is Professor of Human Geography, School of Built and Natural Environment, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49611234312465,"sku":"GOR012199976","price":7.5,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49656237130001,"sku":"GOR001645350","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0582357330.jpg?v=1751327171","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/products\/political-geography-buch-peter-taylor-9780582357334","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
