Political geography: context and agency in a multiscalar framework

Abstract

I resisted the temptation to focus this essay around the topic of terrorism for two reasons. First, the review of the literature culminated in January 2003, and little substantive work with a geographic theme had appeared, with some exceptions (Booth and Dunne, 2002; Halliday, 2002; J.H. Johnson, 2002). Second, the political geography in print engaged themes that are crucial in understanding the developing geopolitical context and so deserve full consideration in their own right. However, The geographical dimensions of terror (Cutter et al., 2003), illustrates that political geographies of terrorism must compete with technological fixes and geo-surveillance for a place within the discipline.
