Resumen:	A set of factors has converged to create geopolitical issues of great importance in contemporary Spain. These relate as much to the incorporation of Spain in the process of globalization as to the internal organization of the Spanish State. This chapter examines the contribution of Spanish academic geography in the first two decades of this century to research and debate in the feld of political geography. The chapter has been prepared on the basis of a systematic review of the main Spanish academic journals in the feld, as well as references to a very considerable bibliography. The chapter comprises fve sections: the introduction presents the importance of geopolitical factors in contemporary Spain and states the hypothesis and methodology adopted to develop the chapter; the second section looks at the output of Spanish academic geography on the geopolitical position of the Iberian countries with respect to various geographical areas; the third focuses on studies concerning the borders of the Spanish state; the fourth section examines the work dealing with the institutional organization of what the 1978 Spanish Constitution calls 'nationalities and regions'; and fnally, the ffth section homes in on research into the spatial aspects of local and metropolitan governments. The chapter is then rounded off by a few brief conclusions.
