Geopolitical Constructs

Geopolitical Constructs

Colin Flint

Rowman Littlefield
2016

This innovative book tells a unique story about D-Day, one that does not concentrate on the soldiers who hit the beaches or the admirals and generals who commanded them. Instead, Colin Flint brings engineers, businessmen, and bureaucrats to center stage. Through them, he offers a different way of thinking about war, one that sees war as an ongoing set of processes in which seemingly isolated acts are part of broader historical developments. Developing the concept of geopolitical constructs to understand wars, the author connects specific events to long-term and global geopolitical arrangements. Focusing on the construction of the Mulberry Harbours—massive artificial structures dragged across the English Channel in the immediate wake of the invading force—Flint illustrates how the process of making war links a vast array of people, institutions, and places, as well as past events and future outcomes. He argues that the people who designed and built the Harbours became geopolitical subjects by producing pieces of engineering that helped shape the course of World War Two and the Cold War that followed, which created a militarized trans-Atlantic that remains today. Using previously unpublished archival material to give voice to those who made the Mulberry Harbours and wartime strategy, this original study broadens the historical and geographical scope of how we understand war, showing how the everyday actions of individuals made, and were made by, geopolitical settings.

Seapower has been a constant in world politics, a tool through which powerful countries have policed the seas for commercial advantage. Political geographer Colin Flint highlights the geography of seapower as a dynamic, continual struggle to gain control of near waters—those parts of the oceans close to a country's shoreline—and far waters—parts of the oceans beyond the horizon and that neighbor the shorelines of other countries. A forceful and clarifying challenge to conventional accounts of geopolitics, Near and Far Waters offers an accessible introduction to the combination of economic and political relations that are the reason behind, and the result of, the development of seapower to control near waters and project force into far waters. Examining the histories of three naval powers (the Netherlands, Britain, and the United States), this book distills the past and present patterns of seapower and their tendency to trigger repercussive conflict and war. Readers will gain an appreciation for how geopolitics works, the importance of seapower in economic competition, the motivations behind China's desire to become a global naval force, and the risks of current and future wars. Drawing on decades of experience, Flint urges readers to take seriously the dilemma of near/far waters as a context for an alternative understanding of global politics.

The new and updated eighth edition of Political Geography once again shows itself fit to tackle a frequently and rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. It retains the intellectual clarity, rigour, and vision of previous editions based upon its world-systems approach and is complemented by the perspective of feminist geography. The book successfully integrates the complexity of individuals with the complexity of the world-economy by merging the compatible, but different, research agendas of the co-authors.This edition explores political geography within the context of US–China competition, Russia’s war with Ukraine, global climate change, new technologies, and challenges to democracy. It advances the discussion from the previous editions on the dynamics of the capitalist world-economy and the constant tension between the global scale of economic processes and the territorialization of politics in the current context of geopolitical change. The chapters have been updated with new examples – new sections on global climate change, populism, and the growing threat of global war. The book offers a framework to help students make their own judgements of how we got where we are today, and what may or should be done about it.Political Geography remains a core text for students of political geography, geopolitics, international relations, and political science, as well as more broadly across human geography and the social sciences.

The new and updated seventh edition of Political Geography once again shows itself fit to tackle a frequently and rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. It retains the intellectual clarity, rigour and vision of previous editions based upon its world-systems approach, and is complemented by the perspective of feminist geography. The book successfully integrates the complexity of individuals with the complexity of the world-economy by merging the compatible, but different, research agendas of the co-authors. This edition explores the importance of states in corporate globalization, challenges to this globalization, and the increasingly influential role of China. It also discusses the dynamics of the capitalist world-economy and the constant tension between the global scale of economic processes and the territorialization of politics in the current context of geopolitical change. The chapters have been updated with new examples – new sections on art and war, intimate geopolitics and geopolitical constructs reflect the vibrancy and diversity of the academic study of the subject. Sections have been updated and added to the material of the previous edition to reflect the role of the so-called Islamic State in global geopolitics. The book offers a framework to help students make their own judgements of how we got where we are today, and what may or should be done about it.Political Geography remains a core text for students of political geography, geopolitics, international relations and political science, as well as more broadly across human geography and the social sciences.

Samfundsvidenskab er en mangfoldig størrelse præget af uenighed omkring, hvordan vi opnår viden, og hvad der kan betegnes som videnskab. Disse spørgsmål er ikke kun vigtige på et teoretisk niveau, men spiller en afgørende rolle for, hvordan man anlægger en samfundsvidenskabelig analyse. Denne bog præsenterer samfundsvidenskabernes videnskabsteori fra tre perspektiver. For det første præsenteres to centrale teoretiske og metodiske tilgange: hypotesetest og forståelse/fortolkning. Dernæst gennemgås de vigtigste videnskabsteoretiske traditioner og positioner: positivisme, kritisk rationalisme, videnskabsparadigmer, hermeneutik, fænomenologi, pragmatisme, kritisk teori, poststrukturalisme, socialkonstruktivisme og kritisk realisme. Endelig sættes der fokus på en række vigtige temaer i det samfundsvidenskabelige arbejde: rationalitet, forklaring, værdier, metodologisk perspektiv, sandhed, relativisme samt samfundsforskningens indlejring i samfundet. Bogen er skrevet af førende kræfter på området, og der præsenteres løbende eksempler på de forskellige positioner og temaers betydning for samfundsvidenskabelig forskning. I den foreliggende 3. udgave af bogen er kapitlerne om hermeneutik/fænomenologi, kritisk teori, strukturalisme/poststrukturalisme og kritisk realisme nyskrevne. De øvrige kapitler er gennemgående revideret og ajourført. Bogens redaktører: Michael Hviid Jacobsen er professor på Aalborg Universitet, Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen er professor på Aarhus Universitet, og Peter Nedergaard er professor på Københavns Universitet.
