Survey of geopolitics
Geopolitics is a product of its time, and its definitions have
evolved accordingly. Rudolphh Kjellén, who coined the term in
1899, described geopolitics as "the theory of the state as a
geographical organism or phenomenon in space." For Karl
Haushofer, the father of German geopolotik, "Geopolitics is the
new national science of the state,(…) a doctrine on the spatial
determinism of all political processes, based on the broad
foundations of geography, especially of political geography". On
the eve of World War II, Derwent Whittlesey, the American
political geographer, considered geopolitics "a dogma*... the
faith that the state is inherently entitled to its place in the sun".
Richard Hartshorne defined it as "geography utilized for
particular purposes that lie beyond the pursuit of scientific
knowledge".
(Adaptado de Saul Bernard Cohen, Geopolitics of the world system. Boston: Rowman
& Littlefield Publishers, 2003. p.11.)
