Showing results for "The Politics of Time" in International Relations

Maps have a mysterious hold over us. Whether ancient, crumbling parchments or generated by Google, maps tell us things we want to know, not only about our current location or where we are going but about the world in general. And yet, when it comes to geo-politics, much of what we are told is generated by analysts and other experts who have neglected to refer to a map of the place in question.

Bringing together the most influential scholars in the field, the fifth edition of this best-selling book provides unrivaled coverage of international relations theories and arguments. 

When you see your nation's flag fluttering in the breeze, what do you feel? For thousands of years flags have represented our hopes and dreams. We wave them. Burn them. March under their colours. And still, in the 21st century, we die for them. Flags fly at the UN, on the Arab street, from front porches in Texas. They represent the politics of high power as well as the politics of the mob.

Spionagesatelliten in der Umlaufbahn des Mondes. Bodenschätze im Weltraum, wertvoller als das Bruttoinlandsprodukt der meisten Länder. Menschen auf dem Mars in den nächsten zehn Jahren. Das ist keine Science-Fiction, sondern Astropolitik. Der Mensch ist unterwegs ins All – und wir nehmen unsere Machtkämpfe mit. Bald wird das Geschehen im Universum die Weltgeschichte genauso prägen wie die Berge, Flüsse und Meere auf der Erde. Politik-Experte Tim Marshall legt die geopolitischen Realitäten offen.

Armed authorities watch from a military-grade surveillance tower as lines of people stream toward the security checkpoint, tickets in hand, anxious and excited to get through the gate.
