Here, John Agnew systematically explores how Europeans in a position of global power imposed their ways and views on others through visualizing the world as a whole, defining world regions as modern or backward, seeing the nation statehood as the highest and best form of political organization, and viewing world politics as the outcome of the pursuit of primacy by competing states.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExploring the elements of geographical imagination and how they have come together in different historical and modern epochs, this updated new edition examines: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe implications of recent world events such as September 11\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003econtinued expansion of the EU and NATO\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe near bankruptcy and failure of various states\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe re-ignition of the Israeli-Palestine conflict. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eProviding a lucid analysis of how world politics has come to be practised in its present form, Agnew identifies and argues for an alternative, given the costs visited on the world in twentieth century by the practice of the modern geographical imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Agnew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415310075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415310079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.66h x 6.88w x 0.31d","brand":"John Agnew","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46738976506111,"sku":"9780415310079","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0f6c6f2-0685-49f6-8239-89999282a8d2.jpg?v=1743276836","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/geopolitics-john-agnew-9780415310079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
