Media Reviews
Flint describes the 'one single purpose' of this book as to debunk geopolitical theorist Nicholas Spykman's view that 'geography is the most important factor in foreign policy because it is the most permanent'-- a purpose easily achieved. The many and varied essays that demonstrate how to approach the concept of 'space' cover such topics as nationalism, religion, gender, peace movements, natural resources, water, and drug trafficking. The best pieces, which tend to be more focused and historical, provide real insight. * Foreign Affairs *
