Abstract In the West, political geography has emerged as one of the most vibrant of human geography's subdisciplines over the past few decades. In China, by contrast, political geography is at a nascent stage of development. Interest in political geography is growing in China, but the cross-fertilization of ideas with Western political geographers is limited. There are several reasons for this state of affairs:the unfortunate lack of engagement of most Western political geographers with China, concerns over political sensitivities, and insufficient understanding among some Chinese economic and urban geographers of the nature of scholarly work in political geography. Looking forward, there are significant opportunities for the development of political geography in China-both in its own right and in dialog with Western political geography. Among the topics with the greatest potential to facilitate this type of development are 1) the ways in which the political organization of space in urban(and other subnational) units facilitates or impedes the pursuit of particular policy objectives, 2) the nature and significance of the geopolitical imaginaries that influence international relations, past and present, 3) the role of particular political geographic arrangements in fostering or mitigating conflict, 4) the changing nature of borders and boundary regions in the face of geopolitical and geo-economic changes, 5) political-geographic influences on environmental change. Work on these topics in China has the potential to enhance understanding of critical issues facing the country in the twenty-first century. To realize that potential, it will be important for Chinese scholars with political-geographic interests to demonstrate the nature and significance of work on political geography topics to a Chinese human-geography community focused heavily on urban-economic topics.
