| | This claim however was contested my other scholars and geopolitical theorists. | | | The whole tradition of Anglo-Saxon and American geopolitics (from Mahan and Mackinder to Spykman, Brzeszinski and Wolfowitz) sees foreign policy through the eyes of atlantism, moving step by step towards the final triumph of the "sea power", towards the globalization of their civilization kind. | | | "Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland; Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island; Who rules the World-Island commands the World."

| | Century, geopolitics are characterized by changing geostrategic alliances, new definitions of military and economic power, new threats to security and a different vision of the world than that which emerged at the end of the Cold War. | | | We will begin the course with an examination of the field of political geography studies and an orientation to the current state of geopolitics and then turn our attention towards basic understandings of the evolution of classical geopolitics, cold war geopolitics and post-cold war geopolitical developments. | | | O Tuathail, Gerard and Fred Shelly, 2004, Political geography, from the “long 1989” to the millenium. |

| | The Chief Motive of the Balkans War |
| | British intellectuals call Mackinder the "father of modern British geography." In "Democratic Ideals and Reality" (1919), with rhetorical skill and deft use of brilliantly constructed maps, Mackinder advanced his theory of geopolitical aggression, declaring a supposed necessity for continuous World War of maritime "democratic" against "national" land powers. | | | The book is currently for sale by the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) in Washington, D.C., and is being used to indoctrinate military officers in Mackinder's fratricidal exhortation to geopolitical conquest. | | | Mackinder was subsequently blamed for the Lebensraum strategy of the Third Reich, which actually was founded on the work of German master political geographer Gen. Karl Haushofer, who of course had read Mackinder. |

| | geostrategy: Definition and Much More From Answers.com |
| | Haushofer, an academic primarily, was interrogated by Father Edmund A. Walsh, a professor of geopolitics from the Georgetown School of Foreign Service, at the request of the U.S. authorities. | | | He first coined the term "geopolitics." His writings would play a decisive role in influencing General Karl Haushofer 's geopolitik, and indirectly the future Nazi foreign policy. | | | Virtually no books published between the end of WWII and the mid-1970's used the word "geopolitics" or "geostrategy" in their titles, and geopoliticians did not label themselves or their works as such. |

| | FEMINISM and SOCIAL THEORY in GEOGRAPHY |
| | In an attempt to traverse this gap, the notion of a feminist geopolitics is elaborated; it aims to bridge scholarship in feminist and political geography by creating a theoretical and political space in which geopolitics becomes a more gendered and racialized project, one that is epistemologically situated and embodied in its conception of security. | | | Feminist geographers' forays into geopolitics and international relations within political geography have been relatively rare compared to their presence and influence in social, cultural, and economic geography. | | | Outside geography, feminist scholars in cultural and media studies have explored the role of GIS as a new representational medium. |

| | Top Picks: Globalization. January 2002. |
| | Halford J. Mackinder, the grandfather of geopolitics, offers one of the primary texts on global thinking in his book, Democratic Ideals and Reality (1942). | | | He begins his essay "Out of Your Car, Off Your Horse," with this declaration: "Properly speaking, global thinking is impossible." From there Berry goes on to make some twenty-six other insightful and provocative observations about global thinking and the sustainability of cities. | | | If Mackinder is right, then his words may have been written for such a time as this. |
