ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the feminist geopolitical project that examines 'the ways in which the nation and the international are reproduced in the mundane practices that we take for granted' and thus challenges 'the nation-state as the sole or primary subject of geopolitical thinking'. It presents conceptual starting points for considering the development of geopolitical subjectivities in terms of spatial socialisation. Children familiarise with different forms of spatial-political knowledge in explicit and implicit learning situations. As a process of geopolitical becoming, 'geo-socialisation' is conditioned by the multi-faceted worlds where children lead their lives, and it is subjectively mobilised by the children who seek to make sense of these worlds in their geosocial lives. The chapter closes with a brief conclusion that summarises its key arguments and proposes the potential of critical geopolitical research with children in understanding how political worlds are reproduced, re-imagined and re-established in everyday lives.
