Beskrivning
How and why war and peace occur cannot be understood without realizing that those who make war and peace must negotiate a complex world political map of sovereign spaces, borders, networks, and scales. This book takes advantage of a diversity of perspectives as it analyzes the political processes of war and their spatial expression. Topics include terrorism, nationalism, religion, drug wars, water conflicts, diplomacy, peace movements, and post-war reconstruction.

Recensioner i media

Flint describes the 'one single purpose' of this book as to debunk geopolitical theorist Nicholas Spykman's view that 'geography is the most important factor in foreign policy because it is the most permanent'-- a purpose easily achieved. The many and varied essays that demonstrate how to approach the concept of 'space' cover such topics as nationalism, religion, gender, peace movements, natural resources, water, and drug trafficking. The best pieces, which tend to be more focused and historical, provide real insight.
