In the process it gives political geographers the ability to reflect on who they are, what they do, and for whom. Sidaway, National University of Singapore The first Companion to Political Geography was a landmark statement about the nature of the subdiscipline that also set the research agenda for political geography.
Nearly 10 years on, this all-new collection accounts for the intellectual and worldly changes that have taken place in and around political geography, providing a fresh overview of current issues and global research. The Companion brings together the best researchers and communicators in the field, who highlight provocative theoretical and conceptual debates, and present a compendium of key material and intellectual developments. These include the long-term impact of the al-Qaeda attacks on the US in , the rise of China as a geo-economic superpower, new media, the Anthropocene, and concerns about the geo-politics of nature and resources.
Intellectually, the influence of the practice-based methods in geography and concepts including postcolonialism, feminist geographies, and popular cultures are underlined.
This new collection offers a one-stop reference volume for students and for those in allied fields requiring an overview of the substantive debates. This should be the first port of call for any student trying to grasp the whole of the field.

The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Political Geography
He has written widely on questions of territory, place, and political power. He has also worked on issues of "science" in geography and how knowledge is created and circulates in and across places. He is best known for his work completely reinventing "geopolitics" as a field of study and for his theoretical and empirical efforts at showing how national politics is best understood in terms of the geographical dynamics of "places" and how they are made out of both local and long-distance determinants.
Much of his empirical research involves Italy, Greece, and the United States. Books by John Agnew.
