“…154-156), while aerial (Adey, Whitehead, & Williams, 2013) and orbital (Dolman, 2001) geopolitics are absent. Surprisingly for an introduction to geopolitics, there is no discussion of cartography and its power in shaping political attitudes (Foster, 2013) and policies (Monmonier, 1996), despite a large number of maps appearing in the book. This is clearly a book aimed at educating students, and while the summarized and well-illustrated examples within are valuable in clarifying the diverse themes that populate modern geopolitics, its utility to established scholars is by necessity limited.…”

While maps have long been inf luential in the dissemination of geopolitical ideas, the critical geopolitical project often frames maps as evidence of the discourse it seeks to displace. As a result, very few maps appear on the pages of the field's most prominent journals. This paper explores this phenomenon and argues that novel approaches to mapping may actually strengthen critical geopolitical scholarship. We argue that scholars can learn much from contemporary approaches in critical cartography to provide geopolitical analysis with new, informative visualizations. We demonstrate this argument with an alternative cartographic representation of Kashmir. This paper makes two key contributions to critical geopolitics: (i) that alternative cartographic representations are well suited to aid in critiques of normative geopolitical ideas and (ii) that the map presented in this paper is but one way to illustrate emerging critical geopolitical scripts. Our hope is that this brief intervention to 'take back the map' will encourage likeminded scholars to (re)consider the merits of maps in articulating geopolitical narratives.

“…Like the Roman world of the Third Century, the dynamics of our world are shifting, often precisely because of internal contradictions within the dominant social, political and economic model. Military supremacy once afforded by America's 'Empire Lite' (Ignatieff 2003) is diminishing, the until-recent economic incentives of membership in Brussels' Imperium Europaeum (Foster 2013a) are receding, and the political prestige and self-congratulatory status of a seat in NATO is waning (Kuus 2007). The world is not what it once was.…”
