| Abstract
|
:
|
"Using an integrative approach to international relations, the second edition of Reordering the World returns the "geo" to geopolitical analysis of current global issues. Focusing on key emerging world issues such as spatial data technology, IGOs/NGOs, and gender and world politics, this group of eminent geographers challenges the reader to rethink international relations and reorder the world political map."--Jacket
