The Geography of War and Peace : From Death Camps to Diplomats: From Death Camps to DiplomatsColin Flint Professor of Geography Pennsylvania State University How and why war and peace occur cannot be understood without realizing that those who make war and peace must negotiate a complex world political map of sovereign spaces, borders, networks, and scales. This book takes advantage of a diversity of perspectives as it analyzes the political processes of war and their spatial expression. Topics include terrorism, nationalism, religion, drug wars, water conflicts, diplomacy, peace movements, and post-war reconstruction. |
