Description
Summary:This edited volume provides an innovative contribution to the debate on contemporary European geopolitics by tracing some of the new political geographies and geographical imaginations emergent within the EU’s actions in the international arena. Drawing on case studies that range from the Arctic to East Africa, the chapters aim to provide a critical geopolitical reading of the ways in which particular places, countries, and regions are brought into the EU’s orbit and the ways in which they are made to work for ‘EU’rope. Carlos A. Arrébola recommends the text for political geographers interested in the European region.
