Routledge, 1998. 160 p.
Exemplified by topical issues such as the reintegration of Hong Kong into China, the proposed expansion of powers of the EU at the expense of member states and the threatened break-up of states such as Canada, Spain, Russia and the UK by regionalist separatist movements, the book shows how questions of the organization of power combine with those of geographical definition and highlights the crucial geopolitical ‘certainties’ from as recently as ten years ago which have now either disappeared or are in question. Geopolitics provides an invaluable introduction to current, critical debates over ‘geopolitics’ and world politics.

Tuing Time into Space
