Redefining Geopolitics in the Age of the Anthropocene
For much of its history, geopolitics has focused primarily on the strategies of actors and the power dynamics embedded in representations and territorial space, often relegating the environment to the status of mere backdrop or resource to be conquered. However, the upheavals of the Anthropocene demand a fundamental shift in perspective. The climate crisis, resource exploitation, and the development of energy and technological infrastructures are profoundly reshaping geopolitical dynamics, calling for a renewed understanding of power and its material foundations. This book proposes to fully integrate the interdependencies between political, technological, and environmental spheres, outlining a new framework for the discipline: that of the Geopocene.
From cobalt mining and megafires to flood management, this book maps out the contours of a geopolitics reimagined in light of the Anthropocene. Because geopolitics is also essential for understanding the tensions shaping the world of tomorrow!
