Geopolitics 101: Geography as an Aid to Statecraft?
Napoleon once famously remarked, the policies of all powers are in their geography. Geography does not determine, however. The meaning of particular geographic features changes over time and depending on circumstances. The study of geopolitics explores this relationship: how geography interacts with human factors to shape the policies of states. Forgotten among scholars and practitioners of international relations, geopolitics is making a comeback as the world witnesses the return of great-power competition over territories and resources. This master class will offer an overview of geopolitics: its past, present, and future.
