ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book combines a critical review of the interdiscipline's history, domains, objectives, and preoccupation with its own grand narratives such as the Cold War, with conceptual framing of current and future research such as the examination of non-Anglophone popular cultures through the prism of the interdiscipline and from within the framework of popular geopolitical feedback loops. It provides a critical reflection on the discipline of popular geopolitics. The chapter provides a set of concepts emanating from the analysis of previously overlooked fields of cultural and political production. It explains a specific angle of our interdisciplinary enquiry, such as the issues of power, state, agency, and identity. The chapter reveals how theoretical frameworks, such as Edward Said’s concept of Orientalism, continue to inform the study of empirical material in popular geopolitics.
