Reviews

An extremely original work... Black has his facts well in hand, and his interpretations are convincing. -Kelly DeVries, Loyola University Maryland A germinal contribution to the study of geopolitics, international relations, and nation-state mechanisms for achieving predominance and hegemony in world affairs... [It] is superlatively organized and written in eminently readable, clear, literary, and engaging prose... Black has opened new frontiers of explanation and reference for future investigators. -Peter Brown, Rhode Island College Every scholar working within the broad field of geopolitics should read this book for two reasons. First, it is a well-written and detailed historical account of the ideas and practice of (mainly) state-centric geopolitics. Second, it is a direct attack on the axioms and methods of the dominant form of contemporary geopolitical analysis. -Journal of Historical Geography In Geopolitics and the Quest for Dominance, Black provides a lively and thought-provoking account of the subject based on an almost unsurpassable range of reference and a strong commitment to communicating the richness of the field. -International History Review
