The intention is to rethink and radicalize its components ‘geo’ and ‘politics’ so that the self-evident characterand nuance of the sign ‘geopolitics’ can be conceptualized and pluralized. Once conceptualized in a critical way as aproblematic of geopolitics or geographical politics, geopolitics becomes a much broader social and cultural phenomenathat is normally described and understood by the geopolitical tradition of ‘wise-men’ statecraft.Unit-IModern Geopolitical Imagination and Visualizing Global Space : Blocks, Worlds and Zones of identity and difference.Epochs of Geopolitics (Imperial Geopolitics, Cold War Geopolitics, and the Geopolitics of the ‘New World Order’.Unit-IITwenty-First Century Geopolitics (End of History?
