This volume examines geopolitics by looking at the interaction
between geography, strategy and history. This book addresses three
interrelated questions: why does the geographical scope of
political objectives and subsequent strategy of states change? How
do these changes occur? Over what period of time do these changes
occur? The theories of Sir Halford Mackinder and Nicholas Spykman
are examined in order to provide an analytical narrative for five
case studies, four historical and one contemporary. Taken together
they offer the prospect of converting descriptions of historical
change into analytic explanations, thereby highlighting the
importance of a number of commonly overlooked variables. In
addition, the case studies will illuminate the challenges that
states face when attempting to change the scope of their foreign
policy and geo-strategy in response to shifts in the geopolitical
reality. This book breaks new ground in seeking to provide a way to
understand why and how the geographical scope of political
objectives and subsequent strategy both expands and contracts. This
book will be of much interest to students of geopolitics, strategic
studies, military history, and international relations.
