Essays in Political Geography (Routledge Library Editions
This volume, originally published in 1968, is in two parts. The first covers various geographical aspects of the internal structure and the external relationships of states and introduces some of the concepts which are examined in specific regional context in the case studies in Part 2
A Confusion of Concepts
Japan's Ecological Crisis
Part I of this paper begins by examining the significance of the ecologist's concept of the climax to social and economic geography. Some views of Sauer, Hutchinson and Malthus are noted, and it is suggested that present-day Japan may represent the nearest approach yet seen to the human-ecological climax situation. The intense congestion which now characterizes Japan has arisen basically because during the past ioo years the Japanese have superim…

Oriental Asia
The Political Geography of the New Asia
Focus on Southeast Asia
Indonesia
In terms of population and area Indonesia is a very large country which occu? pies an extremely important strategic position in the world. When to these facts are added the widely accepted but misleading belief that Indonesia also possesses an exceptional abundance of natural resources, a seriously distorted view of the country's potential importance is obtained. Such a view appears to have underlain President Sukarno's thinking which in turn led…
Containing China? II. Concepts and Applications of Containment
Containing China? I. The Antecedents of Containment
Between THE TWO World Wars the Western world came to hold China in much higher esteem than it had generally done during the preceding century. This new attitude was based primarily on appreciation of the multiplying signs that China was at last beginning to reorganize itself as a modern State, and partly also on respect for its resistance after 1937 to the Japanese attempt forcibly to prevent its achieving this goal. And after the Japanese attack…

Essays in Political Geography
The Britain of the East? A Study in the Geography of Imitation
To an Englishman of my generation, whose schooling took place during the 1920-30s, the practice of comparing Japan with Britain has long been a commonplace. School geography lessons on Japan invariably began with a reference to the temperate offshore island kingdom of eastern Asia as the 'Britain of the East', and this theme was often elaborated to include the characterization of Osaka and Kobe respectively as the Manchester and Liverpool of Japa…
Economic Myth and Geographical Reality in Indonesia
Throughout the twenty years which followed 17 August 1945 when, as President of the newly proclaimed Republic of Indonesia, Sukarno first stepped into the limelight, he has provided the most flamboyant example of the 'charismatic leader' who, by personifying the aspirations of a formerly subject people, enables them both to establish and to project their identity as a nation. During this time Western well-wishers of the Indonesian people have bee…
The Changing Dimensions of Europe
The war which broke out in the summer of 1914 and swiftly engulfed the greater part of Europe is rightly regarded as one of the series of major disturbances which, at intervals of roughly a century following the peace of Westphalia, completely destroyed the carefully constructed equipoise of Europe and made necessary its reconstruction in substantially modified form. Compared with the situation which existed during the intervening periods between…
South-East Asia
The Vietnamese Problem in Its Geographical Context
Among the several partitioned countries in the contemporary world, Germany, Korea and Vietnam form a d stinctive group which poses particularly intractable problems. For the current divisions in all three arose basically out of the postsurrender occupation zones of 1945 which, although apparently intended to be only of limited duration, subsequently became frozen into immobility during the cold war, so that in all three today a Communist and a no…

The Malaysian Federation, Indonesia and the Philippines
IN view of the prevailing Afro-Asian sentiment in favour of the speedy liquidation of the remaining vestiges of Western coloniali m, the strong criticisms voic d during 1962-3 by Malaya's two neighbours, Indonesia and the Philippines, of Tunku Abdul Rahman's plans for creating a Malaysian Federation, to link Singapore and the three British Borneo territories with the existing Federation of Malaya, has at first sight been surprising. For it must s…

The Role of Korea in the Far East
The recent role of Korea as the battle-ground between the Communist land-powers, Russia and China, and the forces of the United Nations, based initially upon Japan and maintained in the field by western sea power, is the latest among many manifestations of a problem which is inherent in the geography of the country. Owing to its character as a land bridge, projecting some 600 miles from the parent continental mass to within 120 miles or so of the…
The Expansion of Japan
The history of Japanese expansion since the Meiji Restoration of 1868 provides a remarkable demonstration of the ever-present antithesis be? tween landward and maritime concepts of empire which, a generation ago, formed the theme of Mackinder's brilliant study 'Democratic ideals and reality.' 1 During the past century these two rival principles have, each in its own way, been profoundly influenced by the economic and strategic consequences of ind…
