Biography

Peter J. Taylor is Emeritus Professor of Geography at Northumbria University, UK.
"The latest edition of this classic text maintains the high standards of its predecessors while shedding new light on the insights a World-Systems-inspired Political Geography can provide on critical contemporary developments ranging from transnational migration, to 'climate coloniality,' to non-traditional forms of identity politics."
Professor Emeritus Alexander Murphy, University of Oregon
"This textbook remains the most exciting introduction to political geography and its basic themes, with its compelling scalar organization, its systematic application of world system analysis complemented by feminist geographies, and its broad coverage of other approaches in the discipline. Once more, the authors managed to incorporate new scholarship about the rapidly changing geographies of political relations across the world (with an emphasis on climate change and hegemonic competition) while maintaining the coherence of their presentation of the discipline. A fascinating resource and a warm welcome to political geography."
Dr Virginie Mamadouh, Associate Professor of Political and Cultural Geography, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
“Forty years after its genesis, Flint and Taylor’s text remains the definitive political geography primer. Magisterial in its scope and compelling in its approach, this new edition offers striking insights into the dynamics shaping our world, from the acceleration of AI and climate change to the revival of hegemonic rivalry.”
Professor Meredith DeBoom, Assistant Professor of Geography, University of South Carolina
