Dating from its inception in the late nineteenth century, political geography as a field has been heavily influenced by global events of the time. Thus, rather than trying to impose a single "fashionable" theory, leading geographers John Agnew and Luca Muscara consider the underlying role of changing geopolitical context as their framework for understanding the evolution of the discipline. The authors trace the development of key thinkers and theories during three distinct periods-1875-1945, the Cold War, and the post-Cold War-emphasizing the ongoing struggle between theoretical "monism" and "pluralism," or one path to knowledge versus many. The world has undergone dramatic shifts since the book's first publication in 2002, and this thoroughly revised and updated second edition focuses especially on reinterpretations of the post-Cold War period. Agnew and Muscara explore the renewed questioning of international borders, the emergence of the Middle East and displacement of Europe as the center of global geopolitics, the rise of China and other new powers, the reappearance of environmental issues, and the development of critical geopolitics. With its deeply knowledgeable and balanced history and overview of the field, this concise work will be a valuable and flexible text for all courses in political geography.

Il n'existait pas de livre intitulé tout simplement Géopolitique de la France qui soit consacré exclusivement à ce sujet, alors que les titres équivalents ne manquent pas pour les États-Unis, la Chine, la Russie, le Brésil, l'Inde, le Mexique, le Royaume-Uni, l'Espagne, l'Italie, la Pologne, Israël - et la liste n'est pas exhaustive ! Pourtant le sujet est riche. Grande puissance moyenne, la France cherche ce que peut être la stratégie d'une nation de l'entre-deux, à mi-chemin entre grandeur et déclin. Géopolitique gaullienne du Verbe et du Geste ? Géopolitique mitterrandienne de la sublimation au sein de la construction européenne ? Géopolitique du pré carré que ses adversaires assimilent à un renoncement ? Géopolitique de la morale et de l'autre qui, à force de rejet de la Realpolitik, finit par servir la géopolitique des autres ? Toutes les options sont ouvertes et analysées dans l'ouvrage.

Du Maroc à l'Iran en passant par l'Égypte, le Proche-Orient et l'Afrique du Nord sont en ébullition. L'ambition de cet ouvrage est d'offrir aux lecteurs les outils pour appréhender et comprendre cette région au coeur de l'actualité, mais dont l'intelligence est trop souvent obstruée par le flot de préjugés, d'idées reçues et de contre-vérités qu'elle charrie. A contrario d'une vision simpliste qui la réduirait à un univers soudé autour du dénominateur commun islamique, l'ouvrage montre et explique en quoi c'est la diversité, voire la fragmentation, qui en constituent les caractéristiques fondamentales. Une pluralité qui constitue une inestimable richesse civilisationnelle, mais a pour revers une très forte instabilité, que les ingérences des puissances étrangères ne font qu'accroître. Mais loin de réduire le Proche-Orient et l'Afrique du Nord à un terrain d'affrontement entre des impérialismes venus d'ailleurs, l'ouvrage montre surtout comment certains des pays qui le composent s'affirment progressivement comme des acteurs à part entière de la mondialisation
