Books by John Agnew

Telling the story of the drive to create consumer capitalism abroad through political pressure, this book explains that the primary goal of the foreign and economic policies of the United States is a world which reflects their way of doing business. It shows how this drive for global hegemony is now backfiring.

This concise book explores the rise of populism, comparing the electoral success of populist movements and politicians in Europe and the United States. Organized around themes of turnout, leadership, and media, and using compelling maps, their book encourages discussion on an increasingly important topic-and on the future of democracy itself.

This book offers a new way of thinking about sovereignty, both past and present. John Agnew challenges the widely accepted story that state sovereignty is in worldwide eclipse in the face of the overwhelming processes of globalization, offering a convincing framework that breaks with the either/or thinking of state sovereignty versus globalization.

Professor Agnew emphasises the divergent experiences of different regions within the USA and in so doing provides a significant 'new' regional geography, tracing the historical evolution of the world-economy and assessing the contemporary impact of the world-economy upon and within it.

"Geopolitics" provides an analysis of how world politics has come to be practiced the way it has, identifying and arguing for an alternative, given the costs visited on the world in the 20th century by the practice of the modern geographical imagination.

Employs a geographical perspective to the study of international relations, thereby integrating the political and economic dimensions in a study of the international economy from 1800 to the present day.
