This monograph presents a new theory of global politics and international relations utilizing the "world systems" perspective of the new political geography. The author reviews the spatial organization of the international system, identifies the interaction of states in regional systems as the key dynamic of the global system and considers the levels of global connection. The book concludes with an examination of how geographical structures and systems allows an understanding of the political functioning and evolution of the contemporary world system.
