Border Wars
av Klaus Dodds
How are borders built in the modern world? What does Brexit mean for Ireland's border? And what would happen if Elon Musk declared himself president of the Moon?In Border Wars, Professor Klaus Dodds takes us on a journey into the geopolitical conflict of tomorrow in an eye-opening tour of the world's best-known, most dangerous and most unexpected border conflicts from the Gaza Strip to the space race.Along the way, we'll discover just what border truly mean in the modern world: how are they built; what do they mean for citizens and governments; how do they help understand our political past and, most importantly, our diplomatic future?

R?zboaie de grani??
av Klaus Dodds
O abordare fascinant? a geopoliticii interna?ionale, care examineaz? semnifica?ia trecut?, prezent? ?i viitoare a grani?elor, de la c?derea Zidului Berlinului pÃ¢n? la atentatele de la 11 septembrie, trecÃ¢nd prin Palestina ?i Pakistan, Coreea de Nord, Zidul lui Trump ?i nu numai.
Ce Ã¿nseamn? pentru rela?iile interna?ionale, Ã¿n perpetu? schimbare, cele mai periculoase ?i mai nea?teptate conflicte la grani??, ?i cum afecteaz? acestea echilibrul global?
Ã¿n R?zboaie de grani??, Klaus Dodds sondeaz? ciocnirile geopolitice ale viitorului, explorÃ¢nd zidurile de la grani?e ? atÃ¢t fizice, cÃ¢t ?i simbolice ?, de la FÃ¢?ia Gaza pÃ¢n? la cursa spa?ial?. Ã¿n Mun?ii Himalaya, la Marea Mediteran? ?i Ã¿n alte p?r?i ale lumii, tensiunea inerent?, provocat? de Ã¿ncercarea de a separa lumea Ã¿n zone, este departe de a disp?rea.
Odat? cu schimb?rile climatice care mut? grani?ele naturale, de la mun?i ?i ghe?ari pÃ¢n? la fluvii, se Ã¿ntrevede tot mai clar Ã¿ntrebarea: Cum vom supravie?ui Ã¿ntr-o clim? din ce Ã¿n ce mai cald?, cu un nivel al apei m?rilor Ã¿n continu? cre?tere ?i cu o popula?ie tot mai numeroas?? Dodds explic? de ce acum, mai mult ca niciodat?, este posibil s? ne confrunt?m cu tot mai multe ziduri, bariere ?i sisteme de securitate Ã¿n via?a noastr? de zi cu zi.
Volumul R?zboaie de grani?? ne ofer? posibilitatea s? descoperim ce Ã¿nseamn? cu adev?rat grani?ele Ã¿n lumea modern?: cum sunt construite, ce importan?? au pentru cet??eni ?i guverne ?i cum ne ajut? s? Ã¿n?elegem trecutul istoric ?i mai ales viitorul diplomatic.
?Cu o cunoa?tere impresionant? a fenomenului, Dodds demonstreaz? conving?tor c? politica identit??ii ?i deregl?rile provocate de schimb?rile climatice vor spori conflictele de la grani?? Ã¿n urm?toarele decenii.? Publishers Weekly
?Ideea conform c?reia grani?ele nu sunt tocmai ceea ce par constituie nucleul c?r?ii R?zboaie de grani??, deopotriv? un volum impresionant ?i actual. ?i merit? s? reflect?m asupra acestui subiect, mai ales ast?zi. (...) Dodds ne convinge pe deplin c? grani?ele dezv?luie Â«adev?ruri fundamentale despre umanitateÂ».? The Spectator
?Cartea de fa?? nu putea fi mai actual? (...). AruncÃ¢nd o privire geopolitic? asupra unor teritorii fragmentate ?i disputate, precum Cipru, Ierusalim ?i Georgia, [Dodds] eviden?iaz?, din perspectiva unei realpolitik, faptul c? grani?ele sunt elemente Ã¿n egal? m?sur? contestate ?i (cel pu?in Ã¿n vremuri normale) surprinz?tor de fluide.? Geographical Magazine
KLAUS DODDS este profesor de geopolitic? la Royal Holloway, Universitatea din Londra, ?i bursier al Academiei de ?tiin?e Sociale. A scris numeroase c?r?i pe teme de geopolitic? ?i diploma?ie, iar din 2006 este autor al unui editorial lunar pe teme geopolitice pentru Geographical Magazine.

Spaces of Security and Insecurity
av Alan Ingram, Klaus Dodds
Drawing on critical geopolitics and related strands of social theory, this book combines new case studies with theoretical and methodological reflections on the geographical analysis of security and insecurity. It brings together a mixture of early career and more established scholars and interprets security and the war on terror across a number of domains, including: international law, religion, migration, development, diaspora, art, nature and social movements. At a time when powerful projects of globalization and security continue to extend their reach over an increasingly wide circle of people and places, the book demonstrates the relevance of critical geographical imaginations to an interrogation of the present.

Arctic: A Very Short Introduction
av Klaus Dodds, Jamie Woodward
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringThe Arctic is demanding global attention. It is warming, melting, and thawing in a manner that threatens fundamental state-change. For communities that call the Arctic 'home' this is unwelcome. A warming Arctic brings with it the spectre of costly disruption and interference in indigenous lives and communal welfare. For others, the disappearance of sea ice makes the Arctic appear more accessible and less remote. This also brings with it dangers such as the prospect of a new era of great powerrivalries involving China, Russia, and the United States. Submarine and long-range bomber patrolling are now commonplace. New terms such as 'global Arctic' are being used to capture the dynamic of change while others muse about the 'return of a Cold War'. The reality is inevitably more complex. The physical geography of the Arctic is highly varied and variable. Environmental change brings opportunities for indigenous and non-indigenous life-forms to survive and even thrive. The Arctic's four million people are not helpless pawns in a game of global geopolitics. The Arctic is not only a resource hotspot but also a place where sustainable energy systems are being introduced. A warming Arctic with less ice and permafrost is not unique in thelonger history of the Earth either. The Arctic is a complex space. In this Very Short Introduction, Klaus Dodds and Jamie Woodward consider the major dimensions of the region and the linkages beyond - from the geopolitical to the environmental. They examine the causes, drivers, and effects of cultural, physical, political, and economic change, and ponder the future of the Arctic. As they show, it is a future which will affect us all. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Antarctic: A Very Short Introduction
av Klaus Dodds
The Antarctic is one the most hostile natural environments in the world. It is an extraordinary physical space, which changes significantly in shape and size with the passing of the seasons. Politically, it is unique as it contains one of the few areas of continental space not claimed by any nation-state. Scientifically, the continental ice sheet has provided us with vital evidence about the Earth's past climate. In this Very Short Introduction, Klaus Dodds provides a modern account of Antarctica, highlighting the main issues facing the continent today. Looking at how the Antarctic has been explored and represented in the last hundred years, Dodds considers the main exploratory and scientific achievements of the region. He explains how processes such as globalization mean that the Antarctic is increasingly involved in a wider circuit of ideas, goods, people, trade, and governance - all ofwhich have an impact on the future of the region.

Geographies, Genders and Geopolitics of James Bond
av Lisa Funnell, Klaus Dodds
This book discusses the representational geographies of the Bond film franchise and how they inform our reading of 007 as a hero. Offering a new and interdisciplinary lens through which the franchise can be analyzed, Funnell and Dodds explore a range of topics that have been largely, if not entirely, overlooked in Bond film scholarship. These topics include: the shifting and gendering of geopolitical relations; the differing depiction and evaluation of vertical/modern and horizontal/pre-modern spaces; the use of classical elements in defining gender, sexuality, heroic competency, and geopolitical conflict; and the ongoing importance of haptics (i.e. touch), kinesics (i.e. movement), and proxemics (i.e. the use of space) in defining the embodied and emotive world of Bond. This book is comprehensive in nature and scope as it discusses all 24 films in the official Bond canon and theorizes about the future direction of the franchise.

Scramble for the Poles
av Klaus Dodds, Mark Nuttall
In August 2007 a Russian flag was planted under the North Pole during a scientific expedition triggering speculation about a new scramble for resources beneath the thawing ice. But is there really a global grab for Polar territory and resources? Or are these activities vastly exaggerated? In this rich and wide-ranging book, Klaus Dodds and Mark Nuttall look behind the headlines and hyperbole to reveal a complex picture of the so-called scramble for the poles. Whilst anxieties over the potential for conflict and the destruction of what is often perceived as the world's last wildernesses have come to dominate Polar debates and are, to some extent, justified, their study also highlights longer historical and geographical patterns and processes of human activity in these remote territories. Over the past century, Polar landscapes have been probed, drilled, fished, tested on and dug up, as their indigenous populations have struggled to protect their rights and interests. No longer remote places, or themselves 'poles apart' from one another, the contemporary geopolitics of the Polar regions has lessons for us all as we confront a warming world where access to resources is a concern for states, big and small.

Pink Ice
av Klaus Dodds
Pink Ice tells the compelling story of the political struggles over Antarctica and the South Atlantic. It shows how Britain and Argentina have sought to invest these thinly populated spaces - composed mostly of ice, rock, and water - with cultural and national importance. The author, who has interviewed leading politicians and civil servants including Lord Carrington, Lord Owen, Lord Chalfont, Lord Hurd, and Lord Shackleton, demonstrates how political rivalries may be played out in other competitive arenas such as World Cup football. With the 20th anniversary of the Falklands War in 2002, Pink Ice provides a timely analysis of how territorial disputes simply refuse to fade away.

Arctic
av Klaus Dodds, Mark Nuttall
Conversations defining the Arctic region often provoke debate and controversy -- for scientists, this lies in the imprecise and imaginary line known as the Arctic Circle; for countries like Canada, Russia, the United States, and Denmark, such discussions are based in competition for land and resources; for indigenous communities, those discussions are also rooted in issues of rights. These shifting lines are only made murkier by the threat of global climate change. In the Arctic Ocean, the consequences of Earth's warming trend are most immediately observable in the multi-year and perennial ice that has begun to melt, which threatens ice-dependent microorganisms and, eventually, will disrupt all of Arctic life and raise sea levels globally. In The Arctic: What Everyone Needs to Know, Klaus Dodds and Mark Nuttall offer concise answers to the myriad questions that arise when looking at the circumpolar North. They focus on its peoples, politics, environment, resource development, and conservation to provide critical information about how changes there can, and will, affect our entire globe and all of its inhabitants. Dodds and Nuttall explore how the Arctic's importance has grown over time, the region's role during the Cold War, indigenous communities and their history, and the past and future of the Arctic's governance, among other crucial topics.

Ashgate Research Companion to Critical Geopolitics
av Merje Kuus, Klaus Dodds
Since the late 1980s, critical geopolitics has gone from being a radical critical perspective on the disciplines of political geography and international relations theory to becoming a recognised area of research in its own right. Influenced by poststructuralist concerns with the politics of representation, critical geopolitics considers the ways in which the use of particular discourses shape political practices. Initially critical geopolitics analysed the practical geopolitical language of the elites and intellectuals of statecraft. Subsequent iterations have considered the role that popular representations of the international political world play. As critical geopolitics has become a more established part of political geography it has attracted ever more critique: from feminists for its apparent blindness to the embodied effects of geopolitical praxis and from those who have been uncomfortable about its textual focus, while others have challenged critical geopolitics to address alternative, resistant forms of geopolitical practice. Again, critical geopolitics has been reworked to incorporate these challenges and the latest iterations have encompassed normative agendas, non-representational theory, emotional geographies and affect. It is against the vibrant backdrop of this intellectual development of critical geopolitics as a subdiscipline that this Companion is set. Bringing together leading researchers associated with the different forms of critical geopolitics, this volume produces an overview of its achievements, limitations, and areas of new and potential future development. The Companion is designed to serve as a key resource for an interdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners interested in the spatiality of politics.

Global Geopolitics
av Klaus J Dodds
Employing thematic investigation and illustrated through case studies, Dodds explores how global politics is imagined and practised by countries such as the US and other organisations including Greenpeace, the IMF and CNN International.
In addition, the author discusses how issues such as environmental degradation, terror networks, anti-globalisation protests and North-South relations challenge, consolidate and subvert the existing international political system.

Geopolitical Traditions
av David Atkinson, Klaus Dodds
Condemned as an intellectul poison by the late American geographer Richard Hartshbornem geopolitics has confounded its critics. Today it remains a popular and important intellectul field despite the persistent allegations that geopolitics helped to legitimate Hitler''s policies of spatial expansionism and the domination of place. Using insights from critical geopolitics and cultural history, the contributoirs focus on how geopolitics has been created, negotiated and contested within a variety of intellectual and popular contexts. Geopolitical Traditions argues that geopolitics has to take responsibility for the past whilst at the same time reconceptualising geopolitics in a manner which accounts for the dramatic changes in the late twentieth century. The book is divided into three sections: firstly Rehtinking Geopolitical Histories concentrates on how geopolitical conversations between European scholars and the wider world unfolded; secondly Geopolitics, Nationa and Spirituality considers how geopolitical writings have been strongly influenced by religions, iconography adn doctrine with examples drawn from Catholicicsm, Judaism and Hinduism; and thirdly Reclaiming and Refocusing Geopolitics contemplates how geopolitics has been reformulated in the post-war period with illustrations from France and the United States. Geopolitical Traditions brings together scholars working in a variety of disciplines and locations in order to explore a hundred years of geopolitical thought. Sanjay Chaturedi Punjab University, India. Paul Claval, Eaubonne, France . Michael J. Heffernan Notingham University, UK, Les Hepple University of Bristol.
