World cities and new geopolitical maps

Message:
Abstract:

At the same time accelerating the process of “globalization” in particular “economicglobalization”, a group of scientists made new theories and claimed that this process of globalization has destroyed “locations”, and “boundary and distance” don’t have meaning further. They claimed (geography is dead) and “geographical maps” are not effective in the modern world. In response to these comments, many geographers have developed a series of critical research and review articles on these trails. One of the things is production of the “new geopolitical map”. A descriptive analytical approach has been used in the current survey. Moreover, reasoning and logical analysis have been applied to analyze the findings and draw the final conclusion that what impact does globalization have on the geopolitical map and whether globalization is undermining the role of geography and political maps. As we know, the cities are playing the new roles outside of their political boundaries in the area of globalization and sometimes get more importance beyond their governments. “The new geopolitical maps”, instead of focusing on the countries and the actual boundaries used to draw the maps “of cities” and according to it doesnt matter the real boundaries. In this direction, valuable work has been done, one of which is the work of Taylor and his colleagues. The “new geopolitical map,” focuses on the relationship between worldwide cities. Relations of cities depiction around the world helps to create a new representation of the “space of flows global economy” that completes the “political space of locations”. In other words, new maps economic currents of the global cities are only a supplement to the political map of countries that provide a framework suitable space to understand the social changes under conditions of globalization.
