Maps And Politics
£9.84
We all rely on the apparent accuracy & objectivity of maps but often do not see the very process of mapping as political. Are the power & purpose of maps inherently political? Maps & Politics" addresses this important question & seeks to emphasize that the apparent objectivity' of the map-making & map-using process cannot be divorced from aspects of the politics of representation. Maps have played & continue to play a major role in both international & domestic politics. They show how visual geographical representations can be made to reflect & advance political agendas in powerful ways.
