Popis: Contrary to popular belief, the spatial aspect of political processes is determined not only by objective factors. Space affects politics not only directly, but also indirectly, through subjective and sometimes distorted notions of space, formed by man. To study this subjective world, geography has its own terminology, some of which are in dialectical connection with the concepts of «objective» geography (territoriality vs. spatiality, absolute vs. relative space), and some are unique for the discourse of this science (heterotopy, spatial inversion, spatial experience, the place of memory, spatial myth, and co-spatiality). The key to political geography is the notion of territorial and spatial identity, because they link ideas about space with the political behavior of the individual. Recently, the applied sphere of political geography has been actively developing, based on the application of identity knowledge - territory branding based on place policy.
