Geopolitics

Geopolitics is the study of the effects of geography (human and physical) on international politics and international relations. It examines how geographic factors such as natural resources, location, demographics, and physical terrain can influence political behavior, power dynamics, and the relationships between nations. Geopolitics often considers strategic interests, territorial disputes, and the geographic distribution of wealth and military capabilities. It also describes how geopolitical considerations can guide state strategy, foreign policy decisions, and regional stability. Overall, geopolitics connects political science with geography to understand and analyze the spatial aspects of global affairs.
