geopolitics
geopolitics An approach to understanding international politics that seeks to explain the political behaviour of states in terms of geographical variables such as size or location. The term is particularly associated with the work of the Swede R. J. Kjellen (1864–1922) and the German Karl Haushofer (1869–1946). Haushofer's perception of geopolitics as involving the struggle between states to occupy the world was taken up by the Nazi Party in Germany to justify its expansionist goals, a connection which helped to bring the subject into disrepute. However, the term is still used to stress the interplay of geographical and political factors in international relations. It is considered particularly helpful in understanding the problems facing strategically sensitive areas of the world.
