Old Europe, new Europe: for a geopolitics of translation     

Luiza Bialasiewicz  Claudio Minca 《Area》2005,37(4):365-372

This paper looks to the role of geographical metaphors in the 'battle of words' to describe Europe and its presumed identity. The facile adoption of banal cartographies such as those of a 'New' and 'Old' Europe highlights two concerns: first, that despite the imperial and isolationistic temptations of the current American administration, its geopolitical imagination remains firmly wedded to – indeed, cannot but define itself by – its relationship with the 'Old Continent'. Secondly, it reveals an astonishing distance between such cartographic abstractions and the variety of non-territorial metaphors – in particular, those of mediation and translation – that are increasingly being invoked to inscribe possible futures for the European project.  相似文献   

Ocean governance and maritime security in a placeful environment: The case of the European Union     

《Marine Policy》2016

Adopting a critical geopolitics approach that accounts for the mutually reinforcing link between geo-informed narratives and projection practices, this article proposes that ocean governance and maritime security have translated into states' and regional organisations' increasing control over maritime spaces. This leads to a certain territorialisation of the sea, not so much from a sovereignty and jurisdictional perspective but from a functional and normative perspective. The article starts by discussing the ways oceans have been represented and shows that they are far from a placeless void, both in practice and in discourse. The article then frames the analysis of ocean governance and maritime security within critical geopolitics, and elaborates on the case of the European Union's narrative and practice. It concludes on the mutually reinforcing link between discourse and practice in the field of ocean governance and maritime security in general, and on the consequences for the EU in particular. Scholars working on ocean governance and maritime security are encouraged to challenge the traditional view that oceans are placeless.  相似文献   

“To Understand the Place”: Geographical Knowledge and Diplomatic Practice     

Merje Kuus 《The Professional geographer》2016,68(4):546-553

Diplomats produce a great deal of geographical knowledge: By reporting on distant places to their governments, they create particular understandings of political space. Yet these professionals rarely link their work to geography: What a geographer might call a geographical sensibility is labeled cultural knowledge by a diplomat. This article clarifies the relationship between geographical knowledge and diplomatic practice. Empirically, it draws from nearly 100 interviews with foreign policy professionals to offer a more “peopled” or quasi-ethnographic account of diplomacy than is usually available in scholarly literature. Conceptually, the article contributes to our understanding of how geographical knowledge is created inside diplomatic and bureaucratic institutions.  相似文献

Geopolitics in the nineties: one flag, many meanings   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

V.D. Mamadouh 《GeoJournal》1998,46(4):237-253

This article provides an overview of recent publications on geopolitics. The diversity is overwhelming. Publications are therefore divided into four schools: neo-classical geopolitics, subversive geopolitics, non-geopolitics and critical geopolitics. These four schools are distinguished on two dimensions. The first is the distance to the object under study (practical/applied versus academic/reflective). The second refers to the position towards the state system (states as the principal geopolitical actors versus attention for other political actors and interests). Despite their differences, the four types of studies share a growing interest in geoeconomics.  相似文献   

A Twilight Zone: Identity Crisis in French Geopolitics     

Jacques Lévy 《GeoJournal》1998,46(4):279-283

The paper initially describes some of the most important historical processes that have conditioned France's geopolitical position in the contemporary world. It discusses the current changes in France's geopolitics as a changing reality of international relations and as a changing discourse of scholars and experts, that reflects those real world changes. The paper focuses on French politics in Africa and on France's policy in Europe after the end of the Cold War. In Africa the French post-colonial empire with its close ties between domestic regimes, French business interests and the French state becomes unsustainable after the bipolar rivalry has been suspended. In Europe French policy can no longer be presented as either an independent view among a series of others (Europe des patries) nor as a successful effort to press French views by way of a larger European entity. The paper presents an overview of geopolitical literature written in France as a reflection of these conditions.  相似文献

渔民视角下中国南海的领域构建   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

刘云刚  刘玄宇  张争胜 《地理科学》2020,40(7):1062-1071

南海的战略态势对中国经济和安全利益具有重大影响。基于对中国海南省渔民的实地调研，探讨了不同权力主体在南海的领域化过程及其中渔民的能动作用。结果表明：中国的南海主权边界明晰，具有历史延承性，但近代空间行为主体的多元化，多重领域相互叠置，使得南海的领域矩阵呈现出多尺度复合性和权力逻辑复杂化的特点，进而诱发不同层次领域间的潜在冲突和不稳定性。着眼于其中渔民自下而上的主体作用，探讨渔民基于生存动机和日常生活实践，对南海家园式的领域化，这种行为使渔民成为国家领域空间秩序的维护者，也因其特有的族群惯习，对国家的领域治理结构形成挑战。  相似文献   

印度海上战略通道的新动向、动因及影响   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

梁甲瑞 《世界地理研究》2020,29(1):52-62

作为印度洋沿岸的国家，随着2015年《确保海洋安全：海洋安全战略》的出台，印度进一步拓展了海上战略通道，主要体现在三个方面：重视南太平洋海上战略通道、拓展大西洋地区海上战略通道、重视北极地区这一新航道的价值。究其原因，印度追求大国地位、参与全球海洋治理的需要以及保障能源进口多元化是其拓展海上战略通道的主要动因。印度对于海上战略通道的拓展一方面将加剧大国对于海上战略通道的争夺态势，另一方面，将有助于国际社会共同建设维护海上战略通道安全的机制。  相似文献
