Description
Within geopolitics, a discipline enjoying a renaissance, ten academics from eight countries expound upon the fluid role of the state in a world simultaneously impacted by globalization and the resurgence of national and ethnic identities. They assess boundaries as social processes; new territorial dimensions (e.g. a treaty of silicon?); and move beyond borders to regional identity (in the Middle East), and pseudo-states (such as the Trans-Dniester Moldovan Republic) as harbingers of a new geopolitics. Contains abstracts of studies first appearing in a special issue of Geopolitics--formerly Political Geography Quarterly --(3/1, Summer 1998; Cass, ISSN 1465-0045). Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
