Conceptualising Oceania in the New World disorders

Auteur :
WARTHO, R.

Description :
The ending of the Cold War and the demise of realism as the dominant discourse of international geopolitics have precipitated new and alternative conceptualisations of space. New images of Oceania have emerged, challenging more orthodox representations. The alternative conceptualisations reveal that those promoted by the major powers were influenced by aspects of geopolitical reasoning. The analysis highlights the strategic nature of spatial representation.
