La geopolítica y los delirios imperiales de la expansión territorial a la conquista de mercados

This article introduces the concept of Geopolitics through a brief discussion on the origen, schools of thought, development, and impact of this new science in the beginning of the 20th Century. The author strives to create an awareness for the importance of Geopolitics in the livelihood of nation-states using concise language for readers without prior geographical knowledge. The process of globalization combined with the accumulation of large sums of capital by transnational enterprises has allowed for the theory of the survival of states to be altered, placing economic relationships before political interests. This could present a new form of Geopolitics. This document forms part of an ongoing research effort that aims to identify and understand new applications of Geopolitics.
