An important book on a topic that has been neglected for too long, “Geopolitics:
A Guide to the Issues” will provide readers with an enhanced understanding of
how geography influences personal, national, and international economics,
politics, and security. The work begins with the history of geopolitics from the
late 19th century to the present, then discusses the intellectual renaissance
the discipline is experiencing today due to the prevalence of international
security threats involving territorial, airborne, space-based, and waterborne
possession and acquisition. The book emphasizes current and emerging
international geopolitical trends, examining how the U.S. and other countries,
including Australia, Brazil, China, India, and Russia, are integrating
geopolitics into national security planning. It profiles international
geopolitical scholars and their work, and it analyzes emerging academic,
military, and governmental literature, including ‘gray’ literature and social
networking technologies, such as blogs and Twitter.
