Riassunto

Employing thematic investigation and illustrated through case studies, Dodds explores how global politics is imagined and practised by countries such as the US and other organisations including Greenpeace, the IMF and CNN International.

In addition, the author discusses how issues such as environmental degradation, terror networks, anti-globalisation protests and North-South relations challenge, consolidate and subvert the existing international political system.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Global Geopolitics: A Critical Introduction provides a detailed overview of contemporary political developments such as terror networks, environmental degradation, media-military relations, anti-globalization and north-south relations.

By using a theoretically informed framework alongside numerous case studies, this text seeks to inform and engage students in global geopolitical ideas and issues. It investigates how and why events and processes such as the September 11th attacks on the United States challenge and even consolidate the contemporary international political system. Each chapter seeks to provide detailed coverage at the same as suggesting avenues of further inquiry.
