GEOG 2337

(3 Credits) 3 Lecture hours As a branch of human geography, political geography is the study of power and place. It is concerned with both the spatially uneven outcomes of political processes and the ways in which political processes are themselves affected by spatial structures and boundaries. Primary areas of study in political geography include: the spatiality of states; geopolitics; geographies of political and social movements; places and the politics of identities; the geographies of nationalism and ethnic conflict; and the politics of the environment.
