The end of the Cold War seemed to promise the end of a geopolitical praxis based upon the exclusion of difference. Theorists talked of fluidity, hybridity and an increasingly borderless world. However, the aftermath of September 11th showed all too clearly the persistent hold of images of a dangerous world where boundary maintenance was vital to security. While it will initially focus on a critique of the texts and scripts of the geopolitics of the «war against terror» in the spirit of «critical geopolitics», this paper will go on to develop a feminist geopolitics which puts bodies and everyday practices at the centre of geopolitics.
