| Summary |
"Geopolitics is a way of looking at the world: one that considers the links between place and politics; between geography, power, and cultural diversity." "Whether in the world's war-torn zones, where territorial boundaries become a matter of life or death, or even in Europe or the US - geopolitics is an important part of everyday life: for a country's location, size, sovereignty, and resources all affect how the people that live there understand and interact with the wider world. Using example ranging from historical maps to Hollywood, films and the rhetoric of political leaders, this Very Short Introduction shows why, for a full understanding of contemporary global politics, it is essential to be geopolitical."--BOOK JACKET |
