Drawing on recent developments in critical geopolitics and cultural geography, Klaus Dodds examines the six major nations of the Southern hemisphere currently involved in the Antarctic. Each of these nations - Argentina, Australia, Chile, India, New Zealand and South Africa - claims a 'natural' interest in the future of the polar continent. Geopolitics in Antarctica presents a detailed exploration of the rhetoric and politics behind each of these claims, arguing that they are often based on uncritical understandings of territory, geographical proximity and national identity. The book concludes with an examination of how geographical understandings of the Antarctic continue to influence the management of the frozen continent and Southern Ocean.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: The Southern Oceanic Rim States and Antarctica.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Critical Geopolitics and Geo-Graphing of Antarctica.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Argentina and Antartida Argentina.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Australia and Australian Antarctic Territory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chile and Territorio Chileno Antartico.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e India and the Antarctic.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e New Zealand and the Ross Dependency.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e South Africa and the Antarctic.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Conclusions and the Future of Antarctica.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Earth sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Earth sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Earth%20sciences%20%5BRB%5D%22\"\u003eRB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52316709421336,"sku":"9780471969921","price":152.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471969921.jpg?v=1781822326","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/geopolitics-of-antarctica-views-from-the-southern-oceanic-rim-hardback-9780471969921","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
