This book outlines the full breadth of contemporary political geography, covering a rich and diverse range of topics, many of which will be familiar to readers' everyday experiences. In doing so it addresses not only traditional concerns such as state formation, geopolitics, electoral geography and nationalism, but also newer themes at the cutting-edge of political geography research, including the geographies of regulation and governance, policy formulation and delivery, the politics of place consumption, landscapes of power, identity politics, and geographies of resistance.
