Reviews

"In the face of rapidly shifting international alignments and new sources of conflict, geopolitics has never been more relevant. Yet the term is vague and its varying meanings little understood. Flint’s book steps into this void, offering a wide-ranging, thought-provoking, and accessible overview of the subject. The book is conceptually grounded, but rooted in a rich array of well explained real-world examples. Flint has written are remarkably lucid, insightful introduction to a key concept of our day." Alexander B. Murphy, University of Oregon "Flint situates geopolitics within wider debates in contemporary human geography to provide a vibrant account illustrated throughout with accessible and thought-provoking examples."
