These changes alter and sometimes disrupt relations between societies, states and regions of the world and influence political choices, with variable and often unpredictable force and speed. Past and current crises, such as the difficulties faced by governments seeking to control immigration and to manage tensions between religious and ethnic communities, now appear as the inevitable consequence of these demographic changes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeodemography – the study of how population dynamics influence societies, states and regions and affect the relations between them, over time and throughout the world – can help us to understand these trends. Using a broad repertoire of exemplary cases drawn from recent world history, this book demonstrates that geodemography is an invaluable tool for gaining a deeper appreciation of the changing relations between societies and states and the great challenges we face today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eA note from the author\u003cbr\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One \u003cbr\u003eA brief portrait of the world population \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two \u003cbr\u003eLimits, boundaries, borders \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three \u003cbr\u003eEthnicities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four \u003cbr\u003eMigration as a weapon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five \u003cbr\u003eA case study: Palestine and Israel \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six \u003cbr\u003eWithin the state: capitals and territory \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven \u003cbr\u003eGeodemography and religion \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Eight \u003cbr\u003eEnvironment, climate, water \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion \u003cbr\u003eThe world of the future: the known and the unknown \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix \u003cbr\u003eWorld population, 1700-2100 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Geography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Geography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Geography%20%5BRG%5D%22\"\u003eRG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441815941400,"sku":"9781509567867","price":38.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509567867.jpg?v=1785027113","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/geodemography-how-population-shapes-the-relations-between-states-hardback-9781509567867","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
