Drawing on specific geopolitical confrontations in the 21st century, this course will examine the ever-evolving relationships between space, people, and power over time.

In the past 350 years the territorial nation-state has become the dominant actor in world politics. 

The development of this role, specifically looking at the origins of the state and the concept of territorial right, will be central to the course. 

We will continue by examining the geographies of state expansionism and imperialism, the challenges of resource scarcity in inter-state relations, and more recently, looking into the impact of non-state actors and supra-national institutions on global security.

Understanding issues of hegemony, sovereignty, identity, locality, regionality, borders, and how global space is perceived will be fundamental in our analysis.

“Going to Prague was one of the best experiences of my life. It was an amazing way to immerse myself in a different culture and truly see how big the world is. Every aspect of the city is mesmerizing, from the delicious food to the beautiful buildings. There was never a dull moment while I was there!”
