In an historically unprecedented way, democracy is seen as a universal model of legitimate rule. This work addresses the key question: How can democracy be understood in theory and in practise? It uses a critical geographical imagination (informed by thinking on space, place, and scale) to interrogate the latest work in democratic theory.

Spaces of Geographical Thought examines key ideas - like space and place - which inform the geographic imagination. The text: discusses the core conceptual vocabulary of human geography: agency: structure; state: society; culture: economy; space: place; black: white; man: woman; nature: culture; local: global; and time: space; explains the significance of these binaries in the constitution of geographic thought; and shows how many of these binaries have been interrogated and re-imagined in more recent geographical thinking.A consideration of these binaries will define the concepts and situate students in the most current geographical arguments and debates. The text will be required reading for all modules on the philosophy of geography and on geographical theory.
