ABSTRACT
This final section of the book is rather different from those that have gone before it. Rather than consider a period of geopolitical theory and practice, Part Four will look forward through the ways in which geopolitics is currently being reconceptualised. It raises questions about the key ways that geopolitics and critical geopolitics approaches have been deployed in attempts to understand inter national political relations, and which conceptual and political challenges remain to be addressed. As we have seen in the earlier sections of the book, however, there is a profound disjuncture between what is understood as geopolitics in public discourse and what is being theorised within critical geopolitics.
