Abstract

Key Concepts in Political Geography is a new kind of textbook that forms part of an innovative set of companion texts for the Human Geography sub disciplines. Organized around 20 short essays, Key Concepts in Political Geography provides a cutting edge introduction to the central concepts that define contemporary research in political geography. Involving detailed and expansive discussions, the book includes: a) an introductory chapter providing a succinct overview of the recent developments in the field; b) over 20 key concept entries with comprehensive explanations, definitions and evolutions of the subject; c) extensive pedagogic features that enhance understanding including a glossary, figures, diagrams and further reading. Key Concepts in Political Geography is an ideal companion text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in political geography and covers the expected staples of the sub-discipline, such as nationalism, territoriality, scale, and political-economy, as well as relatively new arrivals to the field, including the other, anti-statism, gender, and post-conflict. Written by an internationally recognized set of authors, Key Concepts in Political Geography is an essential addition to any geography student's library. -- Back cover.

Abstract

De la fin du VIIIe au début du Xe siècle, l'Europe fut bouleversée par les incursions des Vikings. Piraterie, pillages, déportations et cruautés en tous genres accompagnaient leurs déplacements, au point que les textes de l'époque n'hésitent pas à les compter parmi les cavaliers de l'Apocalypse. Réduire leur histoire à l'énumération de leurs méfaits ne peut cependant satisfaire ceux qui cherchent à comprendre comment, à partir des années 900, les Vikings s'insérèrent dans l'Europe chrétienne. Relisant les sources, Pierre Bauduin montre que la chronique des violences est aussi celle des entreprises menées alors de part et d'autre pour préparer l'accueil dans le monde franc de populations jusque-là périphériques qui, au gré de leurs dynamiques propres ou de leurs contacts avec l'Empire carolingien, étaient susceptibles de s'y faire une place. Emissaires, missionnaires, transfuges ou renégats côtoient d'autres intermédiaires qui, selon des modalités parfois inavouables, assurèrent la mise en contact des deux camps. Ainsi se renouvelle l'image d'une histoire, qui n'est pas seulement celle d'une agression, mais aussi, de manière plus profonde et durable, celle d'une prise de contact suivie d'une intégration réussie.
