This handbook has been put together by Cox (geography, Ohio State U., US), Low (geography, London School of Economics, UK), and Robinson (the Open U., UK) with an eye towards demonstrating the diversity of approaches that currently characterizes the field of political geography and highlighting understandings of gender, race, sexuality, nature, and different contexts. The volume's 36 chapters have been organized into thematic sections concerned with the historiographical and theoretical scope of the field; states, nature in political geography, identities and interests in political organization, electoral geography and the politics of democracy, global political geographies, and the politics of uneven development.
