The article “Geography as Space and Geography as Place: The Divide Between Political Science and Political Geography Continues” by John O’Loughlin (2000) explores the persistent gap between political science and political geography. It critiques how political scientists often reduce geography to abstract notions of space, distance, or territory, overlooking the significance of place — with its cultural, social, and historical contexts. O’Loughlin argues that globalization has intensified the tension between “space” (top-down forces of global integration) and “place” (local experiences, identities, and resistance). The paper highlights the need for political geography to assert the importance of place-based perspectives in understanding contemporary international relations, globalization, and regional diversity.
