Critical Geopolitics and the Writing of Foreign Policy Klaus-John Dodds A thesis submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. in the faculty of Social Sciences September 1993 Abstract The thesis presents an exploration of an emerging field within Anglo-American political geography called Critical Geopolitics. Specifically, the thesis explores the relationship between geopolitics and the inherently geographical practices of foreign policy. Furthermore, by drawing on research literatures in international relations, political theory and the specific work of Michel Foucault and Edward Said the thesis links up a discussion of critical geopolitics and foreign policy to discussions of identity and sovereignty. The thesis explores three case studies: Argentine national identity and state formation, Argentine geopolitical writings and the politics of the South Atlantic Treaty Organisation and finally the 1982 FalklandslMalvinas War. In doing so, the research strategies of critical geopolitics have been utilised in order to demonstrate that critical geopolitics offers new research possibilities for geographical and international relations scholars. In sum, the thesis offers a substantial assessment of critical geopolitics and related fields in international relations and political geography. Acknowledgements I owe considerable thanks to Leslie Hepple for his advice and encouragement during the course of my doctoral research. In addition, the help and support that Paul Glennie arid Nigel Thrift have given me was (and still is) considerable. Their willingness to be unofficial 'supervisors' needs to be gratefully acknowledged. Furthermore, the support and friendship of my fellow graduate students was invaluable. Outside of the Geography Department at Bristol University- individuals such as Terrell Carver, Simon Dalby, Marcus Doel, Felix Driver, Peter Hennessy, Timothy Luke, Gerard 0 Tuathail, Nick Rennegger, James Sidaway and Robert Walker were kind enough to comment and criticise sections of this doctoral thesis. I am happy to acknowledge the financial support of the following: The Alumni Foundation Award, The Department of Geography (University of Bristol), The Economic and Social Research Council (one year studentship), Emporia State University Travel Fund and The University of Bristol Access Fund. I owe thanks to Richard Hodder-Williams for employing me as a research assistant in 1992 at a time when I was desperately short of money. In the Summer of 1993 I was fortunate enough to be awarded a short term fellowship at the Newbeny Library in Chicago. I am grateful for their financial support. Any research project that involves a considerable element of fieldwork needs a sizable amount of assistance. In London, the hospitality of Ian and Vivian Ward allowed me to carry out my research in London. In America, Jerome and Catherine Booth and Phil and Linda Kelly were generous in their offers of accommodation and advice. In Argentina, the kindness of Marcelo Escolar, Cabs Escude and Carlos Reboratti was considerable. In the process of collecting primary and secondary records for my research I have depended on the assistance of the staff at the following institutions: in Argentina; Archivo General de la Nacion, Biblioteca Nacional, the Buenos Aires Herald, Consejo Argentino de Informaciones Cientificos y Technologicas, Instituto de Geografia (Universidad de Buenos Aires), and Ministerio de Relaciones Exterior Biblioteca. In Britain; Public Records Office, Royal Geographical Society, Institute of Latin American Studies and the Scott Polar Research Institute. In the United States; Library of Congress, Inter-American Defence College Library, Inter-American Development Bank Library, National Defence University Library and the University of Kansas Library. On a personal level, I have been fortunate to enjoy the companionship of Susan Armstrong-Brown. Finally, without the financial and personal support of my family, this doctoral submission would not have been possible.

  • From the Headteacher What a Great Start to the New Academic Year Here at the College
    Pride ● Passion ● Positivity September Exeat Edition | Edition 12 Welcome from the Headteacher What a great start to the new academic year here at the College. I have met with all of our new Year 7 and Year 12 students; they are wonderful groups of young people who are quickly settling into life at the College and embracing all that we have to offer in their lessons and Wymondham Life activities. We have some new members of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) this year and some roles have also changed. We have included short biographies of the SLT in this edition of the Lion so that you can be fully up to date with who is who. The old Student Service building has now been completely demolished and the foundations are currently being constructed for the new Peter Rout Centre. This will house the Maths and SEND departments and will have a lecture theatre for meetings and talks. We will very quickly see the building take shape over the coming few months. The exams results that were published in the summer, once again, place us as one of the highest performing schools in the country. Our GCSE results rose from 83% to 86% (English and Maths 4+) and the progress made by our Year 13 students in their A Level exams was exceptional with an average point score that is the highest in the College’s history – a huge well done to our students and staff. One final announcement; we do have some capacity for current day students to become day boarders.

They have suffered foreign invasions and internal wars – it also fought with the UK against the fascists. He explained that the fact that both the UK and China celebrate their victory over Japan at a similar time each year (August and September) is a symbol of shared suffering as well as a celebration of peace. Mr Xaoming explained that their suffering meant that they enjoy peace more than most other countries, which is why they represent fairness in international affairs – he claimed that the Chinese people would never impose their will on others, but would not be bound to the will of others either.

Pan-Africanism sought to forge alternative post-colonial worlds to the binary geopolitics of the Cold War and the geopolitical economy of neo-colonialism. The academic division of labour has meant that these ideas have been consigned to African studies rather than being drawn into wider debates around the definitions of key disciplinary concepts. However Nyerere’s continental thinking can be seen as a form of geopolitical imagination that challenges dominant neo-realist projections, and which still has much to offer contemporary political geography.
