Our World in Context

world politics for beginners

World Mapper

Since we’re on the topic of nation-states, this website, I reckon, deserves a mention. Worldmapper is a collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest - such as movement, food, resources, income, poverty, education, health, disaster, disease, pollution and religion.

Maps like these no doubt challenges us to think about our world differently, beyond the conventional geopolitical boundaries and the high-powered ideas of nation-states, to other ways in which we organise human affairs.
