Summary:

Chapman (Purdue U.) presents an introduction and guide to the field of geopolitics. He includes a history of the field and biographies of key personalities in the 20th century; an overview of national government approaches to geopolitics in select countries (Australia, China, India, Russia, and the United States); and reviews of current and emerging issues such as Arctic Ocean resources, China's basing strategy, and Russian energy diplomacy. He also includes an extensive guide to further resources, including government sources of information, the scholarly literature, and "gray literature" (e.g. technical reports, think tank publications, blogs, etc.). He also offers portraits of current scholars in the field, including both those working in the classical mode of geopolitics as well as those working in the more critical tradition.
