Index
In this wide-ranging, erudite book, one of America’s leading geographers has made a signal contribution to the study of sovereignty. . . . An absolute must read for anyone interested in international relations, comparative politics, or political geography. (Previous Edition Praise)
— Alexander B. Murphy, University of Oregon
Take back control! Read and digest John Agnew’s Globalization and Sovereignty. In this second edition, the pioneer of political geography provides an indispensable guide to the contested contours of both of these slippery terms. If only we can place it in the hands of those who really need it.
— Klaus Dodds, Royal Holloway University of London; author of Border Wars
John Agnew is among the most important and lucid voices in studies of globalization and the reconfiguration of political space in our twenty-first century. Revealing the limits of our geographical imagination, he frees the discussion of sovereignty from the cage of the nation-state. Globalization and Sovereignty thus provides invaluable insights into the fundamental questions of governance in our contemporary world.
— Stephen Sawyer, American University of Paris
John Agnew is among those scholars who have cut a sharp original path across histories and geographies, giving us novel interpretations. This second edition of his influential book is must reading.
— Saskia Sassen, Columbia University, author of Expulsions
