Edited by Mat Coleman Professor, Department of Geography, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio and John Agnew, Distinguished Professor of Geography, Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles, US<i>‘Reading the</i> Handbook on the Geographies of Power,<i> you feel like you are on a road trip to visit an old friend (or fiend, to some),especially if you have engaged in understanding, describing, or explaining the unequal geographies of the world. That friend/fiend is power, a pervasive concept in our daily lives, and in the existence of other living and inanimate objects.’</i>
- Martín Arias-Loyola, Economic Geography,
‘Handbook on the Geographies of Power <i>is a well-written volume with empirically rich and theoretically well-grounded chapters that are easy to comprehend and will be greatly appreciated by academics and students.’</i>
- Austin Dziwornu Ablo, Eurasian Geography and Economics,
The Handbook on the Geographies of Power consists of a series of cutting edge chapters written by a diverse range of leading geographers working both within and beyond political geography. It is organized thematically into the main areas in which contemporary work on the geographies of power is concentrated: bodies, economy, environment and energy, and war.
The Handbook maintains a careful connection between theory and empirics, making it a valuable read for students, researchers and scholars in the fields of political and human geography. It will also appeal to social scientists more generally who are interested in contemporary conceptions of power.
