Abstract

What (political) geography ought to be. Political geography between peace and war Geography has been often accused of being a discipline useful, above all, to make war. But, at the end of the Nineteenth century, Kropotkin already envisaged a totally different use of geography, which, on the contrary, ought to be an instrument for mutual knowledge and understanding. The paper explores the complex relations between different attitudes toward wars (from the acceptance of it as a prosecution of politics to the total refusal of violence of modern pacifism) and the chances of using political geography as a tool for justifying war or for making the conditions of a future of peace
