Spaces of Security and Insecurity: Geographies of the War on Terror

Drawing on critical geopolitics and related strands of social theory, this book combines new case studies with theoretical and methodological reflections on the geographical analysis of security and insecurity. It brings together a mixture of early career and more established scholars and interprets security and the war on terror across a number of domains, including: international law, religion, migration, development, diaspora, art, nature and social movements. At a time when powerful projects of globalization and security continue to extend their reach over an increasingly wide circle of people and places, the book demonstrates the relevance of critical geographical imaginations to an interrogation of the present.

Geopolitics: A Very Short Introduction is a way of looking at the world: one that considers the links between political power, geography, and cultural diversity. In certain places such as Iraq or Lebanon, moving a few feet either side of a territorial boundary can be a matter of life or death, dramatically highlighting the connections between place and politics. Even far away from these 'danger zones' - in Europe or the US for example - geopolitics remains an important part of everyday life. For a country's location and size as well as its sovereignty and resources all affect how the people that live there understand and interact with the wider world. Using wide-ranging examples, from historical maps to James Bond films and the rhetoric of political leaders like Churchill and George W. Bush, this Very Short Introduction shows why, for a full understanding of contemporary global politics, it is not just smart - it is essential - to be geopolitical.

Geopolitics in a changing world provides a progressive introduction to world politics, illustrating how forces such as globalisation and events such as dissolution of the former Yugoslavia are changing the traditional subject matter of geopolitics. It aims to encourage students to consider how a geographers can contribute to debates about the new world order. The author moves from an introductory survey of world politics and contemporary affairs to question how our global system of nation-states is being challenged by trans-boundary flows, non-state organisations and supra-territorial relationships.

Geopolitical Traditions argues that geopolitics has to take responsibility for the past whilst at the same time reconceptualising geopolitics in a manner which accounts for the dramatic changes in the late twentieth century. The book is divided into three sections: firstly 'Rethinking Geopolitical Histories' concentrates on how geopolitical conversations between European scholars and the wider world unfolded; secondly 'Geopolitics, Nations and Spirituality' considers how geopolitical writings have been strongly influenced by religious iconography and doctrine with examples drawn from Catholicism, Judaism and Hinduism; and thirdly 'Reclaiming and Refocusing Geopolitics' contemplates how geopolitics has been reformulated in the post-war period with illustrations from France and the United States.

Pink Ice tells the compelling story of the political struggles over Antarctica and the South Atlantic. It shows how Great Britain and Argentina have sought to invest these thinly populated spaces, composed mostly of rock, ice and water, with cultural and national importance. Providing the wider political and historical background to the 1982 Falklands conflict, the author demonstrates how political rivalries were played out in other competitive arenas such as World Cup football and trade disputes.

The author has interviewed leading politicians and civil servants including Lords Carrington, Owen, Chalfont, Hurd, and Shackleton, former Falkland Islands Governors, Sir Cosmo Haskard and Sir Rex Hunt, and the Antarctic explorer Sir Edmund Hillary and Sir Vivian Fuchs. At a time when Britain has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining its territorial presence in the region, Pink Ice provides a timely analysis of how territorial disputes simply refuse to fade away despite the claims made in favour of globalisation.
