Geopolitics in the Era of Globalisation
This book presents an alternative roadmap for a world characterised by geopolitical uncertainty. The surging expectations about a future world of democratic values and high economic growth, born out of superpower bonhomie at the end of the Cold War, did not lead to the promised outcomes. Instead we are faced with deeply destabilising challenges, like climate change, widespread state fragility, terrorism, arms race, disruptive newer technologies, global economic volatility, and ineffectiveness of multilateral institutions, old and new. The volume: surveys the intellectual discourse, the attempts to redesign the global institutions, and the geopolitical trends since the end of the Cold War for...
Geopolitical Constructs
This innovative book tells a unique story about D-Day, one that does not concentrate on the soldiers who hit the beaches or the admirals and generals who commanded them. Instead, Colin Flint brings engineers, businessmen, and bureaucrats to center stage. Through them, he offers a different way of thinking about war, one that sees war as an ongoing set of processes in which seemingly isolated acts are part of broader historical developments. Developing the concept ofgeopolitical constructs to understand wars, the author connects specific events to long-term and global geopolitical arrangements. Focusing on the construction of the Mulberry Harbours—massive artificial structures dragged acros...
Geopolitical Transformations in Higher Education
This book discusses the central role education and research play in generating both value and comparative advantages in the (imageries of) global competition, competitiveness and transnational value chains. They are seen as assets placed at the forefront of developments that are arguably reshaping individuals, society and economy. This edited volume explores these developments in terms of changing relations between society, economy, science and individuals. The idea that we live in global knowledge societies and knowledge-based economies or that present-day productive systems constitute an industry 4.0 have gained currency as descriptions of contemporary society that are said to bear direct ...
Geopolitics of a Changing Arctic. How do Russia, China and the United States Conceptualise the Changing Arctic?
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - Topic: International relations, grade: 1,3, University of Erfurt (Staatswissenschaftliche Fakultät), course: Bachelorarbeit, language: English, abstract: This bachelorthesis examines the Arctic strategies of Russia, China and the USA. The three subjects of this study- China, Russia, and the United States have different degrees of 'material' interest in the Arctic, which is rooted in tangible assets like oil, gas, and ice- free shipping routes. Among them, China is a relatively recent participant in Arctic affairs, whereas Russia and the United States hold prominent positions as influential players in the High North. Over 60% of th...
Raising Cartographic Consciousness
In this book, Mark R. Polelle presents an overview of the evolution of geopolitical thought in three national contexts--the United States, Britain, and Germany--from 1870 to the present. Polelle examines in particular the rise of the defense intellectual and shows how the measurement of national power has changed. Geopolitics early in the century assumed the centrality of space and territory, but we close the century with despacialized concerns over geo-economic conflicts (e.g., that between Japan and the United States). Polelle explains this shift by putting it into historical context. His use of both historical and geographical methods makes Raising Cartographic Consciousness a valuable book for historians, geographers, and political scientists.
Geopolitical Risks in Europe and the Indo-Pacific Region
This book explores the geo-political risks in Europe and the Indo-Pacific region and interaction between the two regions in the rapidly changing global political landscape. The book explores the reasons for Europe extending its reach and engagement in the Indo-Pacific region, and the Indo-Pacific region increasing its ties with Europe. The book goes on to consider the impact and implications of these engagements on the global order, analyzing cases of potential geopolitical risks brought on by EU-India relations, EU-China relations, EU-Peru-China relations, EU in the Sino-Philippine territorial disputes, and EU’s role in North Korean Nuclear matters. The book would be a valuable read for scholars of international relations and politics, policymakers, and those interested in the interactions between the two regions.
