Geopolitics From the Ground Up: Geography and Global Politics

Geopolitics from the Ground Up takes a holistic approach to the study of global politics and is the first contemporary book on geopolitics that infuses ecopolitics into each of its chapters. Most books add a chapter about the environment at the end, if that. This book begins with geographic fundamentals such as topography, climate, and vegetation regions and then addresses how these processes influence state behavior, power capabilities, economic development, and political processes. The book is also the most comprehensive text on geopolitics and includes Classic Geopolitik, Technopolitics, Ecopolitics, Realist Geopolitics, Critical Geopolitics, Cultural Geopolitics, Feminist Geopolitics, and Holistic Geopolitics.
