Importance Of Geopolitics In A Nation

Importance of geopolitics in a nation

INTRODUCTION

The importance of the study of geopolitics, today is undoubtedly the same that has been giving in previous times, to understand the great powers and realities that we have, however, the current context forces us to raise new notions and Geopolitical conceptions, to reformulate it and make the most successful decisions, with greater reference, study and analysis since it is essential for the development of each country and the world in order to obtain the well -being of society and its nation.

‘More recently, in 2008, and for example, Parag Khanna, a renowned analyst on international policy issues (neo-deterministic), published the second world. Empires and influence in the new global order. Khanna, following Toynbee’s progressive tradition, proposes a new return to the world for those states that presumably will accumulate a greater number of headlines, even for very different reasons, in the coming years. It is a concise and exhaustive historical review of geopolitical evolution in the most complex and conflicting countries of the globe.’ 

DEVELOPING

Geopolitics is a branch of political science that is responsible for the study of the effects of both human and physical geography, on the national and international political economy with which all countries are related.

Political events and their consequences defend a narrow link with the space in which they originate. The political domain is directly related to physical space, which determines the scope of its faculties.

‘Swedish political scientist and geographer Johan Rudolf Kjellén was the one who coined the term at the end of the 19th century. The Germans Friedrich Ratzel and Karl Ernst Haushofer, the American Alfred Mahan and the English Halford John Mackinder also made important contributions for the initial development of geopolitics.’ 

Geopolitics has within its development three fundamental elements, which are intimately related being the individuals who make decisions within their space to choose their rulers and these who negotiate internationally made and benefits for their country, and internally take the best alternatives, and actions successful for the progress of the entire nation and lead to this a successful social benefit.

Geopolitics focuses fundamentally on two objects:

An extensive space, which is a region, a nation and a set of both physical and human geographical phenomena that intervene politically about the geographical area under study, generated inside or outside.

These political influences refer to the observable of geographical phenomena on life, evolution, capacity and other political conditions of the State, especially the following: National Power, Independence, Sovereignty, Unity, Territorial Integrity, Political and Social Stability, Economy, Prestige and security.

It is important to note that today geopolitics has achieved its total autonomy, after traveling a great way to achieve the awareness of individuals, we are more analyzers than we must choose and where we want to arrive as a country, to improve our levels of life, and no longer allow the corruption and benefit of those who claim to work for their nation and to the contrary only seek their benefit.

CONCLUSION

Geopolitics is fundamental in every country for decision -making to define its growth space, its cohesion core, and the border that limits it; facilitating those who are in being able to have clear and real facts of the situation of the country, verify all the scenarios that can occur in the future according to the treaties and have clear projections that allow not having a country indebted and without progress. Helping with such importance to organizing a state with the capacity to serve a general common benefit.
