The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Political Geography

The first Companion to Political Geography was a landmark statement about the nature of the sub-discipline that also set the research agenda for political geography. Nearly 10 years on, this all-new collection accounts for the intellectual and worldly changes that have taken place in and around political geography, providing a fresh overview of current issues and global research.

The Companion brings together the best researchers and communicators in the field, who highlight provocative theoretical and conceptual debates, and present a compendium of key worldly and intellectual developments. These include the long-term impact of the al-Qaeda attacks on the US in 2001, the rise of China as a geo-economic superpower, new media, the Anthropocene and concerns about the geo-politics of nature and resources. Intellectually, the influence of the practice-based methods in geography and concepts including postcolonialism, feminist geographies, and popular cultures are underlined. This new collection offers a one-stop reference volume for students and for those in allied fields requiring an overview of the substantive debates.
