Publisher's Synopsis
The purpose of this book is to examine the political geographical consequences of the enormous political upheaval causd by the collapse of the former Soviet Union, and the shift of the global power balance from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With the USA now left alone as the sole global hegemonic power, the status and ability of potential emerging superpowers like Japan and Europe to challenge the supremacy will dictate the new geopolitical agenda. The distinguished contributors to this volume have produced a series of original and thought-provoking essays around this theme that provide an analysis of the New World Order and its geopolitical consequences. It is intended for researchers and students in political geography and international relations.
