"Geopolitical Traditions" brings together an outstanding interdisciplinary line-up of contributors to analyze one hundred years of geopolitical thought. The text uses human and political geography, politics, International Relations and sociology to focus on how geopolitics has been created, negotiated and contested within a variety of contexts. Examples are drawn form Japan, Italy, Portugal, Argentina, India, Israel and France.

"The contributors to the collection look to a more diverse set of source materials than has traditionally preoccupied scholars of geopolitics, producing studies focused on the insights to be gained through the analysis of literature, spiritual beliefs, and academic journals.... The effort to expand beyond the usual case studies and to look at new influences on geopolitical ideology is notable, and the empirical insights conveyed by many of the studies are considerable. The book thus takes a constructive step in advancing the cause of critical geopolitics as a fully articulated intellectual undertaking...."
