Critical Geopolitics - The Politics of Writing Global Space

In this book, O' Tuathail writes about the politics of the geographical struggle, and about the geography of global politics. It is the first geographical study to tackle geopolitical writing from a poststructuralist position.

Summary

In this text, the author uses concepts of mapping and space to challenge traditional geo-political assumptions. He delivers a deconstructive critique of various 20th-century attempts to impose grand geo-political visions on the spinning surface of global affairs.
