COVERAGE AND ARRANGEMENT:Geopolitics can be defined simply as 'the geographic dimension of foreign policy' or as 'international statecraft, from the perspective of each state', so that many different schools of geopolitical thought emerge. The geopolitics covered in this dictionary only concerns the schools that are associated with the putative great powers of the twentieth century, with the exception of China and the former USSR, where geopolitical ideology was associated with Western imperialism. The set of states covered by this dictionary, therefore, include the UK, the United States, germany, France, Japan, Brazil, Sweden and Italy.Contains 219 main entries on geopolitical theory, theorists and terminology., arranged alphabetically by their original language. Additional entries serve as English language cross-references to foreign language main entries. Also includes an extensive bibliography and an alphabetical index by subject, country and personal names.
