Preferred term

critical geopolitics  

Definition(s)

  • Critical geopolitics challenges conventional geopolitical accounts that posit an unproblematic use of geography as a causal or influential force in international politics. Based on poststructural theory, critical geopolitics has sought to subvert the taken-for-granted reasoning underlying geopolitics to insist, following Michel Foucault, that power and knowledge are always inseparable.
