Recent Developments in Political Geography, II

Author

Abstract

With the field of political geography defined on the lines indicated in the preceding instalment of this article, its content may be outlined in terms of the study of a single state area. Naturally, such studies of different states may lead to the comparative study of state areas, just as regional studies may lead to a comparative science of regions. The outline which follows represents perhaps a minimum, including only those topics which I think are unquestionably to be included.I.Descriptive analysis of the stateA.Description or analysis of the state as a whole1.Size2.Form and shape3.Location in relation to other state areas4.BoundariesB.Analysis of the internal structure of the area1.Natural landscape areas, or provinces2.Cultural landscape areas, or provinces3.Areal distribution of significant population groups4.Location of the administrative center (capital)5.Geographic relations of the different areas thus analyzed, to each other and to the capital
