(Original title "Political Geography", J. Painter & A. Jeffrey, second edition)
Programme
In this second part of the course of Political and Economic Geography (only for 12 CFU) we highlight the process of “spatial rewriting” of politics and we provide interpretative keys to understand the changes occurred in recent years in the complex relationship between geography and politics. Further to an overview on the evolution of the main schools of thought in the geopolitical sphere, we explore key subjects such as: the State and its transformations, from the Welfare State to Workfare State; the geography of regionalisms and nationalisms; the importance of social movements in contemporary politics; the areas of the world with the highest conflict rates and so on. There will be lectures, an excursion and eventual workshops.Core Documentation
