Political geography is the science of the spatial organization of the political sphere of society. The discipline is an introductory one in the study of political science, international relations and foreign regional studies, since it provides a systematic idea of ​ ​ the spatial structure of all levels of political processes and their basic elements: states, integration associations, geopolitical systems, regions, borders, capitals, dependent and international territories. Political and geographical knowledge underlies theories explaining the specifics of foreign and domestic political activity of the states of the world. Mastery of spatial analysis methods allows you to identify patterns of political phenomena both at the global and regional and local levels. The textbook is intended for students of political science, international studies, regional studies and geographers.
