Popular Geopolitics - Annual Conference of the SFB "Transformations of the Popular"

The focus of the SFB 1472 annual conference is on the conditions and consequences of the popularity or lack thereof of geopolitical concepts, myths, topoi, and analyses that circulate in Western societies and now help shape both political action and scholarly reflection. Why does a geopolitical scenario that becomes a best-selling book have a greater chance of shaping the discourse than other approaches? What implications does the format of the academic podcast have for the perspective on geostrategic crises?
