Relations between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China have oscillated between outright hostility and wary detente ever since the Archipelago seceded from the Communist mainland. While the mainland has long coveted the island, Taiwan has resisted--aided by the United States which continues to play a decisive role in cross-strait relations today. In this comprehensive analysis, noted China specialist Steven Goldstein shows that although relations between Taiwan and its larger neighbor have softened, underlying tensions remain unresolved. These embers of conflict could burst into flames at any point, engulfing the whole region and potentially dragging the United States into a dangerous confrontation with the PRC. Goldstein discusses the shifting economic, political and security terrain, and examines the pivotal role played by the United States in providing weapons and diplomatic support to Taiwan whilst managing a complex relationship with an increasingly powerful China.--From publisher description.

"This collective volume shows how Ukraine can best be understood through its regions and how the regions must be considered against the background of the nation. The overarching objective of the book is to challenge the dominance of the nation-state paradigm in the analyses of Ukraine by illustrating the interrelationship between national and regional dynamics of change. The authors--historians, sociologists, anthropologists, economists, literary critics and linguists from Ukraine, Poland, Switzerland, Germany and the USA--explicitly go beyond the perspective of an entity defined by traditional political borders and cultural, economic, historical or religious stereotypes. The research project that led to the composition of the book combined quantitative (statistical surveys conducted across Ukraine) and qualitative (in-depth interviews and focus-group discussion) methods. The authors came to the conclusion that regionalism as a defining phenomenon of Ukraine is more prominent than the regions themselves. This approach regards Ukraine as a construct in flux where different discourses intersect, concur and eventually merge through the lenses of various disciplines and methodologies"--

Throughout history, human societies have been organized preeminently as territories-- politically bounded regions whose borders define the jurisdiction of laws and the movement of peoples. At a time when the technologies of globalization are eroding barriers to communication, transportation, and trade, Once Within Borders explores the fitful evolution of territorial organization as a worldwide practice of human societies. Master historian Charles S. Maier tracks the epochal changes that have defined territories over five centuries and draws attention to ideas and technologies that contribute to territoriality's remarkable resilience. Territorial boundaries transform geography into history by providing a framework for organizing political and economic life. But properties of territory--their meanings and applications--have changed considerably across space and time. In the West, modern territoriality developed in tandem with ideas of sovereignty in the seventeenth century. Sovereign rulers took steps to fortify their borders, map and privatize the land, and centralize their sway over the populations and resources within their domain. The arrival of railroads and the telegraph enabled territorial expansion at home and abroad as well as the extension of control over large spaces. By the late nineteenth century, the extent of a nation's territory had become an index of its power, with overseas colonial possessions augmenting prestige and wealth and redefining territoriality. Turning to the geopolitical crises of the twentieth century, Maier pays close attention to our present moment, asking in what ways modern nations and economies still live within borders and to what degree our societies have moved toward a post-territorial world.--

Le vent arabe de la démocratie est en passe de bouleverser le profil géopolitique de l'Afrique du Nord et du Moyen-Orient. Après une situation gelée depuis plusieurs décennies, l'accélération de l'histoire y prévaut désormais. Aux Etats-Unis, les élections de mi-mandat ont diminué la marge d'action du Président Obama tandis que le désengagement partiel d'Irak s'écrit sur fond de violence et que la question afghane reste entière. Alors que l'Occident gère une sortie de crise, les pays émergents - du Brésil à l'Inde - se donnent de véritables ambitions. Dans le même temps, Moscou renoue avec une volonté de puissance et la Chine instaure progressivement un G2 avec Washington révélateur des nouveaux rapports de forces internationaux. Tels sont les principaux défis que l'édition 2011 d'"Enjeux diplomatiques et stratégiques" s'est attachée à analyser.

Après une critique de la géopolitique classique et de ses fonctions idéologiques, le livre examine la formation des territorialités politiques dans le cadre de la construction historique des rapports dialectiques entre les modes de production, les formations sociales et les pouvoirs, dans les temps,longs de l’histoire. Il articule construction des Etats-nations et formation du système-monde. S’il s’attache aux liens entre formation économique et formation politique dans l’espace et dans le temps, il ne néglige pas pour autant la sphère en partie autonome des représentations et des processus de légitimation. C’est pourquoi, il s’attarde longuement sur la géographie électorale, en particulier à l’échelle européenne : elle rend bien compte de la spatialité complexe des strates successives de la formation des rapports politiques et de leurs hystérésis. Un chapitre s’intéresse spécifiquement à la géographie politique de la Belgique. L’ouvrage se termine par un examen systématique de la place des Etats contemporains dans l’ordre politique mondial. Il débouche sur des interprétations des ordres et désordres géopolitiques actuels. Au-delà des apparences, les Etats-Unis sont-ils réellement aujourd’hui une puissance d’ordre mondial hégémonique ?

La région méditerranéenne, berceau de grandes civilisations et des trois religions monothéistes, est le parfait témoin de plusieurs réalités universelles : l’interdépendance socioéconomique entre pays développés et pays en développement, le poids majeur des prétextes religieux et de l’ethnicité dans les conflits, le jeu des alliances et la dynamique géostratégique des ressources naturelles… La Méditerranée témoigne également de grandes mutations actuelles avec le «Printemps arabe» au sud et la crise des dettes souveraines au nord. Consacré aux grands enjeux de la géopolitique et de l’économie en méditerranée, cet ouvrage donne les clés pour analyser les soubassements du printemps arabe, la géostratégie des ressources hydriques et énergétiques, les conflits ou risques de conflits, les perspectives économiques ou encore le soft power et les modes de vie. Il montre comment, marqué par l’hétérogénéité démographique, culturelle et économique et un fossé croissant entre les rives, le bassin méditerranéen reste porteur à la fois d’un idéal commun et de la peur de l’autre.
