A Political Geography of Polarising Identities: Contested Iconic Places

This book links the current wave of political polarisation to the polarisation taking place between cosmopolitan and parochial identity discourses, and their antagonistic valuation of iconic urban and regional places.

Kees Terlouw is a political geographer and sociologist at the Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. His work focuses on the political usages of spatial identities, especially related to the governance of local and regional administrations.
