| Research Abstract |
This research group attempts to pursue three issues such as the elucidation of (1) geography thought, (2) geopolitics, and (3) catch-up of the theoretical trend of current Anglophone geography, with an immediate publishing of the journal of "Space, Society, and Geography Thought" from No.4 to No.6. These journals contained twenty-nine articles and translations. In the growing interest in the socio-spatial works in the neighboring disciplines of sociology, economics and history, the influence of this journal is becoming very large through the publications of original articles and translations of great figures in geography, which are thought to be the foundation deepening a theoretical argument geographically. This movement was successfully producing the special issues of spatial studies in one of the famous journal of social science. Especially, this project shed light on geopolitical contributions in the pre-war days and could obtain new fact-findings in this field. It is also note-worthy to mention about the newly constructed international connection among critical geographers in the conferences of East Asia conference of alternative geographers of Kyonju, Korea and the second international conference of critical geographers of Taegu, Korea.
