Geopolitics

Geopolitics is the global network of international relations and power politics between countries and beyond. Encompassing everything from foreign policy to everyday objects such as smart phones, it affects citizens, governments, and international bodies. Here, Klaus Dodds considers both the intellectual origins of geopolitics as well as its current concerns. Drawing on new material to analyse how we intersect with global issues in our everyday lives, Dodds also discusses the recent rise of populism and economic nationalism, using examples such as Make America Great Again and Brexit to show how states, people, and corporations manage political and territorial narratives today.
