China’s
growing
power
and
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
have
thrust
geopolitics
back
to
the
centre
of
the
global
stage,
but
the
old
geopolitical
frameworks,
with
their
positivist
methods
and
their
emphasis
on
structural
determinants,
will
not
enable
us
to
understand
the
increasingly
dangerous
world
in
which
we
are
living
today.Bertrand
Badie
argues
that
states
and
the
many
other
actors
now
operating
in
the
international
arena
are
products
of
their
cultural
contexts
and
political
traditions.
Their
perspectives
and
motivations
are
shaped
by
the
narratives,
memories
and
emotions
that
constitute
people’s
everyday
realities;
they
are
therefore
profoundly
subjective
in
character
and
cannot
be
reduced
to
the
categories
of
behaviour
posited
by
traditional
geopolitical
frameworks
like
realist
IR
theory.
In
Badie’s
view,
international
disputes
in
the
twenty-first
century
are
better
understood
through
the
concept
of
the
‘battle
for
meaning’,
confrontations
between
different
modes
of
understanding
the
world.
His
judgement
is
that
peace
and
stability
depend
on
greater
sensitivity
to
the
worldview
and
international
perspective
of
other
actors
in
the
international
arena.
A
willingness
to
try
to
see
the
world
from
the
subjective
perspective
of
one’s
friends,
rivals
and
even
one’s
enemies
is
vital.This
timely
and
engaging
book
by
one
of
the
world’s
leading
scholars
of
international
relations
will
be
of
great
interest
to
students
and
scholars
in
politics
and
IR
and
to
anyone
concerned
about
the
growing
tensions
in
the
world today.
